The Beatles Rock Band - Microsoft Xbox 360

We've logged dozens of hours on this with friends, and the three-part harmony sections are surprisingly forgiving even for tone-deaf players like me. The setlist flows perfectly from early tracks to the later psychedelic stuff, and the “Dreams” sequence is a visual trip you don't get in other music

The song list alone is worth it—I’ve spent entire evenings just flipping through the decades of Beatles tracks with my drummer friend. The way the game lets you feel like you’re actually performing those harmonies together is spot on, and the Xbox 360 handles it all without a hitch.

My friends and I finally had a proper band night with this—the four-player mode actually works smoothly, and the song flow feels just right for a party.
