Summary

Musicians finally have a game to call their own. Rocksmith delivers the most realistic music experience with a great track list, tons of options to tweak your sound, and progressive difficulty to test all abilities.

We like

  • Progressive difficulty adjusts to your true abilities
  • Authentic guitar experience
  • Eclectic track list

We dislike

  • Audio setup, lag management a bit frustrating
  • Event presentation is a bit of a letdown
  • Overall pricetag, general difficulty may keep beginners away
