Harmonix: 'Yoko Ono gave us hell'
Beatles: Rock Band developer Harmonix has said that Yoko Ono gave the designers hell when they were making the game.

After an early build of the title was completed for E3 earlier this year, Ono saw the game and asked to change several components.

One of the suggestions was to make the concert on top of the Apple Corps building in Knightsbridge "look windier", according to Wired.

"We were like, oh, gee. Thanks," said Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos. "It would have been nice to know that six months ago, but yes, thank you very much."

He continued: "She's an artist. She was very concerned with the look of the game. She really held our feet to the fire."

Senior vice president Paul DeGooyer added that "she gave the designers hell" on her visit.

Beatles: Rock Band will be available for 360, PS3, Wii and DS on September 9.
