Kotaku - The Beatles: Rock Band Preview

Kotaku: Harmonix offered us a preview of The Beatles: Rock Band, giving us a chance to see what separates the Fab Four's entry from previous Rock Band titles. Most notable among them are the game's story mode, prizes and "Beatle Beats."

As Harmonix and MTV Games have said from the beginning, The Beatles: Rock Band will be a "progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of The Beatles." That's clearly present when playing the game's story mode, which follows the group's rise to fame from the Cavern Club in 1963 to its recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios and, finally, to the band's performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters.

Perhaps the coolest aspect of The Beatles: Rock Band's story mode are the unlockables Harmonix will include.

How Harmonix sparked the DLC revolution with ‘Rock Band’

VGW's Brian Shea: "The notion of downloadable content is commonplace in today’s landscape of launch-day DLC and season passes, but prior to 2007, to have a legitimate, laid-out plan to support a console game post-launch was not a common occurrence. Harmonix, a company that was in the midst of a transition away from the most popular franchise in the industry at the time, Guitar Hero, had a vision for a brand new IP that would eventually revolutionize the concept of downloadable content."

i know smokin a little something here an there goes good with journey.

Hicken4428d ago

Journey kinda makes you wanna smoke, methinks. Well, for those open-minded individuals who don't just condemn the act, like myself, I can see Journey turning a person's view introspective, and a certain drug allowing for some rather insightful revelations.

(For the record, I've smoked three cigarettes- I was drunk- and one cigar in all my life.)

NastyLeftHook04428d ago

cool, journey is a great game for that, and mary jane lobes it too.

bubwright4428d ago

playing games drunk is the worst thing ever, reactions are to slow and falling asleep and leaving your console on all night! wake up with 5000 messages, take away food all around you and feeling like poop looking at your online stats wondering how bad you played :( bad times

bacrec14428d ago
