  • The Beatles: Rock Band is a game in the Rock Band series. It was released for the Wii in 2009.
  • The game was released internationally on 9 September 2009, coinciding with the release of the new, remastered CD versions of The 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 will not be cross-compatible. Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos described the game as "... a new, full game title production built from the ground up." Gameplay mechanics differ slightly from previous Rock Band games, including the addition of a three-part vocal harmony system.
  • New in The Beatles: Rock Band is vocal harmonizing. This can be achieved if players connect multiple microphones to their console and each sings to a different vocal track. To protect the integrity of The Beatles's song catalog, some features found in previous Rock Band games have been tweaked. Freestyle drum fills leading up to the activation of Overdrive (Beatlemania) by hitting the green drum pad have been removed completely, only leaving the glowing green note to hit. Using the whammy bar on extended notes does not affect the sound of the note, however it still contributes to increased points. Big Rock Endings are not attached to any songs in the game. The original vocals of the songs cannot be raised incrementally up or down or muted. They can only be kept as they are or lowered sligh

Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos described the game as "... a new, full game title production built from the ground up." Gameplay mechanics differ slightly from previous Rock Band games, including the addition of a three-part vocal harmony system. The game was developed with the blessing and critical input of Apple Corps, including former Beatles members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. 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, assured high-quality versions of The Beatles songs would be available. The Beatles: Rock Band has been 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.
