Why shouldn I just listen to Beatles albums or practice their songs on an actual guitar?
Rather than appreciating the band as a mere listener, “Rock Band” allows you to interact with The Beatles’ music, giving you a more visceral sense of what made their songs great. With eye-candy animations and psychedelic backgrounds, the game is sort of a history lesson combined with karaoke, putting you in the shoes of the Beatles and taking you on a journey through their career. You’ll get a taste of why Ringo Starr’s style of drumming was so unique and how the band’s famous three-part harmonies meshed together so well. And while learning the music on an actual instrument is great, it’s not an experience that’s easily or immediately accessible to groups of friends and families.
