Beatles: Rock Band Launch, CNA


(Ok I used the Game Informer pic again cos I thought it really rocked!)

Here's some excerpts on the launch of the Beatles: Rock Band, in an article from ChannelNewsAsia.com.

The game's creators promise players "an unprecedented, experimental progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of The Beatles."

"The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music," Sir Paul McCartney said in a release when plans for a game were announced.


Story mode in the game lets players become band members and start the group's career in its early days playing The Cavern Club in Liverpool.

Players go on to perform virtual versions of The Beatles television appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States in 1964 and a sold-out show in Shea Stadium in New York City a year later.

The videogame story includes a major Tokyo concert, studio sessions and a final 1969 performance on the roof of the headquarters of Apple Corps, the band's recording label.


"I imagine once you go through story mode, you feel as close to a Beatle as possible."


From the pictures, I imagine there's going to be some multi-singer harmonizing going on as well, ala Guitar Hero 5's multiple instruments?
