The Beatles: Rock Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Beatles: Rock Band is a 2. Harmonix, published by MTV Games, and distributed by Electronic Arts.
It is the third major console release in the Rock Band music video game series, in which players can simulate the playing of rock music by using controllers shaped like musical instruments. The Beatles: Rock Band is the first band- centric game in the series, and it is centered on the popular English rock group the Beatles.
The game features virtual portrayals of the four band members performing the songs throughout the band's history, including depictions of some of their famous live performances, as well as a number of "dreamscape" sequences for songs from the Abbey Road Studios recording sessions during the group's studio years. The game's soundtrack consists of 4.
Beatles songs; additional songs and albums by the Beatles were made available for the game as downloadable content.[1]The game was released internationally on 9 September 2. Beatles' albums. It incorporates many of the gameplay features of the Rock Band series; however, it is not an expansion pack for the Rock Band series and content for it and other Rock Band titles is not cross- compatible. Harmonix co- founder Alex Rigopulos described the game as ".. Gameplay mechanics differ slightly from previous Rock Band games, including the addition of a three- part vocalharmony system.
Subsequent games in the Rock Band series would reuse these new elements, including vocal harmonies. The game was developed with the blessing and critical input of Apple Corps, including former Beatles Sir Paul Mc. Cartney and Ringo Starr, who both made public appearances supporting the game.
George Harrison's son Dhani helped to bridge discussion between Harmonix and Apple Corps, while Giles Martin, son of the Beatles' music producer George Martin, ensured high- fidelity versions of the Beatles' songs would be available. The Beatles: Rock Band was well received by the press, both as a genuine means of experiencing the music and history of the Beatles and as a standalone music video game.
Although the game's sales were considered respectable, with more than half a million units sold during its first month of release in the United States, analysts had projected larger sales volumes and attributed the lower sales to waning interest in the rhythm game genre and the video game industry recovery from the late- 2. Gameplay[edit]The Beatles: Rock Band's interface is stylistically unique to reflect the band's era.
For songs with multiple vocals, such as "I Feel Fine" here, harmonious pitch lines are shown on the vocal track (top) for players to match, although they will still score points if they simply follow the lead's pitch. The Beatles: Rock Band allows players to perform simulated rock music by providing up to six players with the ability to play three different controllers modeled after music instruments (a guitar controller for lead guitar and bass guitar gameplay, a drum controller and up to three microphones for vocals). Players simulate the performance of rock music by using their controllers to play scrolling on- screen notes.[3][4] For lead and bass guitar, this is accomplished by holding down colored buttons mimicking guitar frets and pushing the controller's strum bar; for drums, this requires striking the matching colored drumhead, or stepping on the pedal to simulate playing bass drum notes. A "Lefty" mode allows left- handed people to play, by switching which colour the beats are given. When singing vocals, the player must sing in relative pitch to the original vocals. A pitch indicator displays the singer's accuracy relative to the original pitch.
For songs with multi- part vocals, players need only to stay in tone with the lead singer to score points and keep their performance meter up, but players earn additional scoring bonuses when they successfully complete phrases in harmony. As in previous Rock Band games, successfully hitting the proper notes in sequence earns points for each player and boosts their "performance meter". Each separate instrument is given a level, defined by their instrument icon, and the average level is also displayed. If a player fails to match the notes, their performance meter drops. If the meter empties, that player is forced to drop out of play, which in turn causes the band's overall performance to drop. Any player to drop out can be "saved" if another player activates "Beatlemania" (referred to as "Overdrive" in other Rock Band titles),[5] which is collected by successfully completing specially marked phrases.
These phrases appear in white, and if the phrase is completed, the energy bar, displayed at the bottom of every track, fills by one quarter. Beatlemania can also be used to temporarily increase the amount of points the band earns. Activating Beatlemania is specific to each "instrument". For guitar, the controller must be temporarily shifted to an upright position; for drums, a special "cymbal" (Green, or red for "Lefty" mode) is hit; and for vocals, a noise must be registered by the microphone when prompted. Some alterations to the Rock Band formula were made to preserve the sound of the Beatles' music.[6] Audio cues that provide feedback on how well the band is doing, typically through the crowd cheering, singing along with the lyrics, or booing if the band is failing, are not included.
The virtual band members are not booed off the stage if a player fails a song. Rather, the game simply cuts to a "song failed" menu with the option to try again. The song is restarted from the beginning.
Variations on Overdrive/Beatlemania activation include the removal of player- controlled audio effects. While guitar players can use the controller's whammy bar on sustained marked note to collect more Beatlemania, this does not alter the sound of the note.[7] There are also no freestyle drum fills in the songs for activating Beatlemania; instead the player continues to perform the correct note sequence before being presented with a note to activate Beatlemania.[5]Throughout the song, players receive points for every note hit, and this is totalled up and displayed at the end of the song, along with a percentage of how many notes they hit, and a rating: 1 to 5 stars. If the score is close to perfect, normally requiring at least 9. The score is saved and shown alongside the song in the select screen; over time, as the song is replayed, it shows only the highest score. Instrument peripherals[edit]Instrument peripherals designed for The Beatles: Rock Band include the Höfner 5.
Ludwig drum controller (right) that were shipped as bundles with the game. Controllers based on the Rickenbacker 3. Gretsch Duo Jet were also created and sold separately.
All currently available Rock Band peripherals are compatible with their respective console version of The Beatles: Rock Band. Similarly, peripherals designed for The Beatles: Rock Band are backward compatible with other Rock Band titles.[8] Some controllers designed for Guitar Hero games will also work with The Beatles: Rock Band.[9]Four new instrument peripherals modeled after those used by the Beatles members were introduced alongside the game: a Rickenbacker 3.
Gretsch Duo Jet guitar, a Höfner bass and a Ludwig drum set.[1][1. These instrument controllers function similarly to the controllers designed for Rock Band 2, with most alterations being purely aesthetic.[1. A "Limited Edition" bundle of the game includes one Höfner bass guitar controller, one Ludwig- branded drum controller, a microphone, a microphone stand and Beatles- themed postcards.[1. A second, less expensive bundle configuration contains peripherals first introduced with the original Rock Band game; this bundle does not contain a mic stand or postcards.
The game was also released as a Sing. Star bundle with two microphones,[1. The Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitar peripherals are sold separately.[1. The Beatles: Rock Band features gameplay modes similar to other Rock Band games, playable both locally and online.
Story" mode is similar to the "Career" mode of the first Rock Band game and follows a linear progression through the Beatles history. Optional challenges are available in each story "chapter", tasking players to complete every song in a specific chapter as a single performance. By earning high score ratings for songs or challenges, players will unlock photographs and video clips of the Beatles taken from the Apple Corps' archive to provide "splashes of history".[7] One such unlockable "prize" is an edited version of the 1. Beatles Christmas Record.[1. Up to six players can play any song in the game cooperatively via "Solo/Band Quickplay" mode. Two players can also play against one another in Rock Band's two competitive modes: "Tug of War", where two players perform alternating sections of songs to outdo the other's performance, and "Score Duel", where each player simultaneously plays the entirety of a song while trying to accumulate the highest score.[1. Tug of War allows players to choose individual difficulty levels, while Score Duel requires that both players play at the same difficulty level.
Both competitive modes require that players use the same type of instrument. Several "Training" modes are available for The Beatles: Rock Band, including tutorials for both guitar/bass and drums. Practice modes are instrument- specific and allow players to practice entire songs or individual sections of songs.
Guitar, bass, and drum practice modes allow players to slow the tempos of songs; vocal practice mode helps to emphasize the selected harmony portion of the vocals by adding a generated waveform sound to the selected harmony line in tune with the lyrics.[1. There are also two drum training modes called "Drum Lessons" and "Beatle Beats".[1. Before playing, a difficulty has to be selected: easy, medium, hard or expert.
