Seen as the ultimate rock band for many, The Beatles left behind a near perfect legacy of recordings and it doesn’t look like it’s set to be tarnished now. Released to coincide with the thoroughly remastered albums, ‘The Beatles Rock Band’ perfectly bridges the generation gap between the iconic group’s heyday and present technology. It’s hard to believe that this is their video game debut.

The game features 45 of the band’s classic songs, ranging from mainstream classics like Paul McCartney’s rocker ‘Get Back’ to George Harrison’s spiritual ‘Within You Without You’. Chart the band’s rise from the Cavern Club to the roof of the Apple building using replicas of the fab four’s instantly recognisable instruments – perfect for any Beatlemaniac!
