Beatles music video game in the works

[saxifrage00]

Harmonix has secured the rights to use Beatles music in a Rock Band-style game, which is under development and slated to be released as a stand-alone game in winter 2009.

Sweeeet.

Hot damn! That's exciting as all hell. And it's probably the only thing I've seen so far that might even tempt me to pick up a next-gen console. (Though Twilight Princess came close, but wasn't tempting enough to warrant buying a new console all on its own.)

It's definitely making me sad that the wooden construction of this building precludes me having a RB drum kit for my 360. Well, that and having nowhere to put it...

Wow, awesome!

I'm still pondering if I'll get Rock Band or Guitar Hero: world tour. Decisions, decisions.

Of the two, Rock Band is a better game for casual play with friends. I don't know much about the solo modes of either of them, however.

Out of curiosity: On which consoles did you play them? I have to get the Wii-version in any case, that's the only next-gen console we own.

[fimmtiu]

Only on the Wii. They're pretty low-horsepower games, so it doesn't matter which console you run it on, except for slight differences in the song lists. Oh, and the lack of downloadable content for the Wii versions, as I understand it.
