. The Game
Join John, Paul, George and Ringo on-stage at legendary shows,
behind closed doors in the studio, and in dreamscapes
that bring the psychedelic imagery of the latter stage of their
career to life. The accled Rock Band elements of interactive
play and full-band capacity are here as well, but with brand-new
additions. One of these is full three-part harmonies, which
challenge you to recreate The Beatles’ vocal blend — a first for
any music game and facilitated by the game's support for up to
three microphone controllers. In addition, the game supports
custom-built controllers modeled after the actual instruments
that the Fab Four played, and eventually helped to make iconic,
audio straight from the masters and graphics that take you on a
magical tour through the key moments in The Beatles history.
Produced with the full cooperation of The Beatles and Apple
Corps, the game is packed with hidden fab extras that will push
you and up to five of your friends to master the songs both
online and offline in order to hear rare audio and view unseen
photos from the archives.
