Probably the only band-specific Rockband/Guitar Hero rhythm game that should exist considering it's The Beatles.
Missing a fair few noteworthy songs, and Expert mode adds notes and cord that don't really exist in the songs.
Great presentation, background videos are visually colourful and fun. It's Rockband with the Greatest Band in the world.

Harmonix set out to make a Rock Band game featuring nothing but Beatles songs and visuals to match. It succeeds on all those fronts AND is really fun, so they basically perfected their vision in making this game. The only caveat is it could have borrowed from Guitar Hero's band-specific game formula by lifting tracks from similar artists, because although the songs in this game are good, none of them really push the boundaries of difficulty in a challenging way. But yeah, this is an all-time classic

Out of all the band-centric spinoffs that flooded the market during the tail end of the western rock game bubble, I think this is the only one that justified its existence just by how much of a Beatles tribute it really was. So much detail in the backgrounds, the thorough history of the band is shown here (unlike, say, Guitar Hero Van Halen), and, especially once you get to the later years, it becomes an experience like no other Rock Band game. I'm not even that much of a Beatles fan, but I played the entire game in one day for that one achievement, and it was worth it.
An absolutely lovely and warm game. Having a specific set of people and a specific historical context gives the visuals so much more to work with. It's genuinely beautiful and feels so much more deliberate than any other Rock Band game.
It's just deeply deeply fucked up that the Beatles will be the only band to get this treatment and that makes it all strangely mythic and melancholy.
