Molotov Cupcake of Spawn Kill reviews Harmonix's latest title, the much anticipated and hyped The Beatles: Rock Band. She explains what works and what didn't, and tells you if the game is a worthy addition to your collection.

The Beatles: Rock Band offers a warm and inviting experience to those who are new to The Beatles’ music or longtime fans who have been waiting for the chance to take up the mantle of their favorite band member and sing their hearts out to “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” Personally, this is one of the biggest things to happen to music gaming, and I am honored to be a part of it. While it may only come packaged with 45 songs and is devoid of any Beatles narration (impossible to a degree since only Paul and George are left), this is one of the most complete and loving tributes to a band via video game that there has ever been. One can only hope that Harmonix gives featured bands of the future this kind of attention. Keep an eye out for album DLC, including Abbey Road and Rubber Soul coming out later this year, and let’s all get our Beatles on sometime via Xbox Live. The love you take is equal to the love you make – Harmonix, consider me absolutely enamored.

    Should be arriving tomorrow! I can't wait! I'm glad it is getting such high praise though. Maybe it'll convince other "hard-to-get" bands to jump in and give this a try. God knows Zeppelin and Floyd would be my first two choices to get the same treatment as the Beatles did. Unfortunately Floyd seems more likely than Zeppelin at this point. Could you imagine the dreamscapes for The Wall?!
