As
previously announced, there will be more tracks unveiled at a later
date, keeping the hype going as the game's release date draws closer
and closer. For those of you who aren't familiar with The
Beatles: Rock Band and
how it's going to be different from the previous Rock
Band games
or track packs, it will be a full-featured new game following the
story of The Beatles' career, from their early touring days in 1963
Liverpool, England, all the way to their last performance on the
Apple Corps rooftops. As in previous Rock
Band titles,
you'll be able to pick up the guitar, bass or sit down at the drums
and even sing. This time round though, you'll be able to sing with up
to three singers, allowing for up to six players or for three players
to each pick up a microphone, with three-part harmonies. The
Beatles: Rock Band is
also the first The Beatles video game ever, so that's a pretty big
deal.
For
those of you who are familiar with the Rock
Band games
and have been following the news on The
Beatles: Rock Band closely,
you're probably not surprised by at least one of the 15 tracks
announced today – Paperback
Writer
– because you probably took note that it didn't appear in the list
of the first 10 unveiled tracks, but in the game's opening cinematic
(which you've also probably also seen already, at least twice). You
probably also noticed that one other track in the opening cinematic
has not yet appeared in either of the two lists of unveiled tracks –
A
Hard Day's Night. If you didn't, you can check it out here.
The
Beatles: Rock Band will
be releasing worldwide (North America, Europe, Australia and New
Zealand) on September 9th
(9/9/9), the same day as the release of the complete remastered box
set of all of The Beatles studio albums (apparently releasing in both
mono and stereo formats), for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. It
will be compatible with all previously released Rock
Band
instrument controllers, as well as most Guitar
Hero
and “other authorized” third-party music/rhythm video game
peripherals and microphones. The game is available for pre-order at
some retailers in North America and Europe, and fans who pre-order
the game at participating
retailers
will get a special access code to join the official The
Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order
Club, giving them access to the latest news and behind-the-scenes
looks into the game.
