Last week, The Beatles Monopoly game was announced. This week, they are going interactive. Apple has announced that they have entered into a deal with MTV Games and Harmonix to develop a game based on the music of The Beatles.
No details about the concept of the game have been forthcoming and today’s announcement is only for a release sometime in 2009 but the Beatles are into it."The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music. I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out," Sir Paul McCartney said.
"It gives me great pleasure to be part of The Beatles / Apple and Harmonix / Rock Band partnership," said Ringo Starr. "The Beatles continue to evolve with the passing of time and how wonderful that The Beatles' legacy will find its natural progression into the 21st century through the computerized world we live in. Let the games commence."
"It's cool. I love it and hope it will keep inspiring and encouraging the young generation for many decades," said Yoko Ono Lennon.
"People are having so much fun playing Rock Band. Combined with The Beatles tracks, it is a great way to either listen or participate," said Olivia Harrison. "If you like the music, it doesn't take much persuasion to get you to play."
MTV Games make Rock Band, the rival to Guitar Hero.
