In a press release this morning, MTV Games and Apple Corps LTD. announced an original Beatles rhythm game from Rock Band creators, Harmonix.Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said the game will not simply be an addition to the Rock Band series but "a new, full-grown, custom game built from the ground up."
Given the blessing of living Beatles members Paul McCartney and Ringo Star and surviving wives Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, the game is said to fully encompass the complete history of the revolutionary band as the press release reads:
...the game will be an unprecedented, experiential progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of The Beatles.
Although unattributed, Gamespot verified the expanse of the title from Apple Corp LTD. CEO Jeff Jones:
He also said it will cover the Liverpool quartet's entire catalog, from their first album, Please Please Me (1963), to their last album, Let It Be (1970). The game will also incorporate elements of their career, but neither MTV nor Apple Corps. would comment on whether or not Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, or John Lennon would be playable.
Also, Giles Martin - the man responsible for the Beatles "Love" project - will function as the music producer for the new Beatles experience due fourth quarter 2009.

I wonder if this new game will be available to play on mobile platforms like the krave... I would like to see some of these graphics on it's large touch screen flip up display. Maybe the gameplay can be heard over a bluetooth headseat! i just saw it online at motorola.com/krave. it is definitely worth checking out.
OH!!!!! I will be first in line to buy this one. And that is big for me because i never am the first in line to get games :)
