Beatles fans sample new computer game ahead of release

They strummed away on plastic guitars, kept the beat on a drum kit and sang along as they tried to emulate their idols through the game.
"It has that whole family appeal, bringing together parents, grandparents and kids to play this game," said Neil Ashurst from computer game store Game.
"Seasoned Beatles fans can step into the shoes of their heroes and a new generation of younger fans will be introduced to one of the country's most iconic bands."
The Fab Four have been recreated in virtual forms in the game called "The Beatles: Rock Band", that lets players join the band as they springboard from gigs in Liverpool to global stardom.
Forty-five songs are included with the game.
