The Beatles: Rockband - Some thoughts

As a casual Beatles listener (I have a few favorite songs) I was very pleased with what The Beatles: Rockband had to offer when I popped the disk into my Xbox 360. There's a decent selection of well known Beatles tunes that most gamers should be familiar with, as well as a some other good songs that I'd never heard before.

The main part of the game takes the form of a set of chapters, each containing a selection of songs from a particular time period in the history of the Beatles. The "music videos" also reflect this as they get more and more trippy and psychedelic. Some gems to look out for include "Yellow Submarine", "I am the Walrus" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Once in Story Mode everything is set out in an easy to use menu that expands as each chapter is unlocked.

Do you need to be a die-hard Beatles fanatic to enjoy The Beatles: Rockband? Definitely not. All you need is to pick up your controller, be it a guitar, microphone or drums and start playing - it's as easy as that.
