audio representation of the Beatles
history number 2 the game was originally

and Ringo Starr as well as Olivia
Harrison and Yoko Ono widows of George
Harrison and John Lennon respectively
number three the visual representations
of the Beatles in the game while
cartoon-like
are realistic in their dress mannerisms
and movements designers study photos
videos even beatles tribute bands and
watch The Beatles Anthology for weeks on

were properly dressed as well number

this was done to conserve the original
veel sound and integrity of the tunes

challenges which unlock prizes in the
game these prizes include archived
photos and music one such example is the

history together in an informative and
highly entertaining video game
