Beatles Rock Band

Can we all agree that Beatles Rock Band is, in fact, the best game ever? After all, we can agree that The Beatles were the greatest rock band ever, so it's an obvious conclusion. Granted, my knowledge of video games is limited to stolen hours playing Tetris during study hall, a few rounds of Wii bowling, and a countless hours watching my brothers play original Nintendo.

Over Christmas I finally got the chance to play Beatles Rock Band and had such a blast that it inspired me to write this list of

FOUR FABULOUS REASONS TO LOVE BEATLES ROCK BAND

1) The Animation

The opening animation on this game is so entertaining and classically cool that it stands alone as a piece of art. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSLLxRmR3nY

2) Kids

What could be more entertaining than listening to a five-year old sing, "We all live in a yellow submarine"? Or, a twelve-year old stumble through the twisty weirdness of "I Am the Walrus"?

3) Deeper Cuts

The game doesn't have the complete Beatles catalog, but it doesn't just stick to the most popular songs. There's "A Hard Day's Night" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" but there's also "I Me Mine". Apparently you can download more tunes from the web, too. Maybe someday they'll make The Beatles Anthology Rock Band...

4) Harmonies

Now you're really a part of the band! You're singing harmony with Paul McCartney! You know you always try to sing the harmonies when alone in your car. At least now you can get the synchronization bonus for doing it!
