The Beatles: Rock Band Game Coming Soon














Harmonix and EA games have been able to secure the rights to the Beatles back catalogue for use in the forthcoming game The Beatles - Rock Band.

Due for release on the 9th of September the game will feature music from the Liverpool quartet "the Fab Four" it is the first time that Beatles music has been made available for use in a video game.

This is a major achievement by Harmonix and EA and hopefully it will be reflected in the game. Four sets of instruments made to look and imitate the real models used by the Beatles have been made to compliment the game, although due to the fairly hefty price tags it is fortunate that the instruments that that are used for the other range of Rock Band games can also be used instead.

No doubt the real die hard Beatles fans will want to stop at nothing less than the replicated models and the game makers will certainly be happy with that.

The Beatles - Rock band comes with a selection 45 of their best songs which have been chosen from all of the Beatles albums, so far only 25 (listed below) have been officially announced.
