The Beatles Rock Band (Wii)

Product Information

According to Viacom CEO Philipe Dauman, one quarter of The Beatles: Rock Band inventory was sold during its first week of release, exceeding their expectations.

Drake asserted that Harmonix would take sales of the currently announced albums into consideration before continuing development of downloadable content.The creators' reverie is obvious, but here it serves as an arguable detriment to the experience gone are any mention of the band's darker days. While guitar players can use the controller's whammy bar on sustained marked note to collect more Beatlemania, this does not alter the sound of the note. Furthermore, critics claimed that the game's complete dedication to the Beatles, without the option for cross-compatibility with Rock Band or vice versa, can potentially lead to tedious play sessions with minimal variety, hampering the social nature of the game. This isn't about creating your own rock band, it's about celebrating and emulating the Beatles, period. Like previous Rock Band games, there is a career mode, though rather than creating a fictional band with an imaginary career, the Story Mode takes you through the Beatles career.

You won't just watch and listen as the Beatles make rock history, create landmark records and conquer the world-for the first time, you'll be part of the band.Although Michael Jackson, who owned 50% of the publishing rights to the Beatles songs through Sony/ATV, died in June 2009, the sale of his estate did not affect the songs or the release schedule of The Beatles: Rock Band, according to Harmonix. Animation for the Beatles characters was aided by motion capture provided by Beatles tribute band The Fab Four. Such isolated tracks were not available through the new 2009 remasters, so the team started with the original master recordings.
