So much better than I expected
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
My daughter wanted to learn to play guitar, so we bought her a starter guitar kit and, at my husband's suggestion based on recommendations he's heard, we also bought Rocksmith 2014. You do have to buy this game (I hesitate to call it a game, but for ease of writing, please bear woth me) new, it seems, because other stores that sell used games don't have the equipment to test the cable that comes with the game to plug into the guitar and your game system, which is how the game recognizes what you're playing on the guitar. It does an amazingly good job of that, by the way. It walks you through basic set up, tuning your guitar, and basic playing technique. It asks about your experience level and guides you through lessons accordingly. When you play a wrong note, it not only picks up on it, but gives you corrective instruction such as, "that sounded like the third fret - you want the second fret." If you miss a noye, it will have you try again, and will slow down or speed up the tempo based on how successfully you're picking up what you're learning. Learning to play basic riffs is similar to the format used in the Guitar Hero games, only for a real guitar. There are also fun video game style games that help you develop your technique. I think this will prove to be a good learning tool. ... show more

Lack of direction leads to frustration
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
Lets get to the point of my review: THE BAD Would be nice to be able to turn off the annoying voice messages that repeat over and over. I'd want to know the info once, maybe twice, but OVER AND OVER really ticks me off. I know the string is out of tune, that's why I'min the tuning section! Give us an option for captions over narration. The game does not recognize some notes in the training. You can hit the note at the exact moment, and it will even PAUSE so you can hit the note but it will not register the note, even though you can clearly hear the note being plate. To make matters worse, it was an OPEN E note...how much simpler can you get? The same note in other exercises works with no issues. The biggest disappointment is there is no flow or direction or layed out rehearsal/learning schedule, its all free flow. I was wanting a guided tour from basic lessons, chord rehearsal, practice, to next logical skill and finally to learn a song. As an example, I did the setup - no issues there, then started with CHORDS 101. I progressed thru the lesson and practice track. But then NOTHING. It doesn't prompt me for the next logical lesson. Or are you suppose to follow the lessons in order? There are too many options for the complete beginner/ non gamer to follow. I suppose some will plot through this and be fine, but as a learning tool, there needs to be a pre-programmed structure option that will force you thru the proper exercises for the best learning experience. The lack of a printed manual also is big con. Yes, no one prints a manual and I believe there is a online manual, but as a old er player, I still believe in a printed book. I don't see how its possible to manage the "60 day challenge" with this. I have to wonder how many hours each of these "success story" people actually had to practice to get to the playing level they show in the videos. Some of us work 40 hours a week and have other responsibilities. lol Download content. I was expecting this, and don't mind it. However to this novice gamer, $3 a song will very quickly add up. Song packs are a better value at $12. The logical person in me can't grasp potentially paying way more for DLC than for the game itself. THE GOOD The interface is nice, when it works it works. This is perhaps the best way for me to learn guitar. Those familiar with the Rock Band or Guitar Hero games will find the format very intuitive, but MUCH more challenging in the more advanced levels. The adaptive nature of the game, even on the practice tracks is nice. The better I do, the harder it gets. It silently pushes you to do better. DLC. LOTS of songs in many different styles are available to download an learn/play. My quick review of the library shows over $80 in songs I would like to have based on my tastes, not to mention what I may like if I actually listened to them. It's a good thing I can't play a lick and it will be a long time before I'm at a level to be able to tackle new material. The game itself comes with a wide arrange of songs to keep me plenty busy for the foreseeable future. In case it matters, I am playing the XBOX One version, with the supplied cable. The console is hooked to a SONY XBR 70" TV via HDMI. I have no apparent lag issues as others have reported. ... show more

Amazing Game
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
This is a great game. My husband has been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for quite some time and this game is very helpful. We love that we can hook the guitar up to the Xbox One and not only learn how to play the guitar, but have fun while doing so. This is a much better way to try something new than trying to learn off of paper. This game has mini games that you can play that assist in learning the basics of playing the guitar. There are numerous songs to select from that are standard with the game and also has a massive list of songs that you can purchase as you see fit. Of course these additional songs add to the overall price of the game, but when you are learning to play a song that you love it makes the learning process even that much better. I see this game as beginner friendly, as well as, for more advanced players. He has enjoyed this game so much that I am also wanting to learn how to play now. ... show more

Poor software and none working hardware. Not worth the money and certainly not worth the effort.
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
This thing it terrible and poorly designed. Bought if for my daughter for her birthday. I installed the software on the XBox One, hooked up the cable and guitar started the software and watched it continue to crash back to the menu every time it got past the splash screen. It was frustrating. After nearly 2 hours I finally figured out the issue. This thing is so poorly designed it will not get past the splash screens if you have a Rock Band microphone plugged in. I unplugged the Rock Band microphone and it started up and got all the way to the calibration screen. Thought I had it made at that point but...... On the calibration screen it tells you to play it loud. I must have sat there for 10 minutes trying to get it to pick up the guitar. I tried different USB ports, checked the guitars (which I already knew worked) on an amplifier, unplugged the disconnect and plugged it back in several times. Nothing worked, not even a second guitar. After an hour I gave up for the night. I tried again the next evening with the same results. Reading I found out that cable works on PC/XBox's/PS4, etc. I hooked the cable up to the PC and waited as it installed the drivers. I then went into the drivers and set them up and while the drivers worked fine, nothing I did would pick up the guitar. Only thing I can guess is the cable is bad out of the box, and after dealing with their crappy software it isn't surprising. Avoid this turd. While it may seem like a good idea if it were to actually work, the frustration is not worth it. The software seems to be so poorly done it can't distinguish it's own cable from a microphone, and the hardware doesn't seem to work. I wasted hours on this mess, and I'm no closer to my daughter learning to play guitar (although she may have learned a few curse words). I'm sending it back today for a refund. Hopefully I can find a better solution that works for my daughter. In the amount of time I spent trying to make this garbage work, I could have learned to play a guitar. ... show more

Delay - don't buy
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
It would be a lot better if the delay issue was fixed. I followed the instructions they provided, and while it helped the delay, it's still not totally gone. The downside is that you can never get a perfect score even if you play it perfect on the easiest level. Also, timing is really important when you're learning an instrument, and this basically trains you to strum ahead of the beat. I waited to late to try it out after I ordered because I got two games at once, but I would have definitely returned this and don't recommend purchasing. I have played guitar for over 20 years, so I can already play - just thought this would be a fun, quick way to learn some new songs... which it really would be if the delay issue was solved. ... show more

Awesome game for musicians (or those who want to learn)
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
I've been playing music for nearly 30 years, and while I liked the concept of Rock Band I've always wanted more--something that would let me hook up a bass or guitar and play along to some of my favorite tunes. Thankfully, Rocksmith delivers, and I can't recommend it highly enough if you are a musician and also love video games. I picked up Rocksmith 2014 on sale (for 40 bucks including the USB cable--which was too good to pass up). Installation was easy. The game does a decent job giving you little tutorial bits along the way. It has a lot of features that I'll probably never use all that much (customizing amps and tinkering with sound settings, etc.) but it's good to know that's there in case I ever want to really dig in to all the features. The library of songs included range from some classic rock to more contemporary metal and alternative numbers. If you're like me you'll find some tunes that you like, some that you won't, and even more that you've never heard of. Thankfully, you can import songs from previous versions of Rocksmith. I found a cheap copy of the original Rocksmith for Xbox 360 and spent another 10 bucks to import the songs into RS2014. It was worth the price for me, but may not be for everyone. About my only gripe with the game is that, initially, none of the DLC would show up in the shop. Then magically about a month later I can now shop for song packs on Xbox One. Not sure what was going on (licensing issues? server problems?). There are tons of individual songs and song packs to choose from, and now I'm worried about spending too much money! Two small gripes: Unlike the PC version, if you want to play co-op you need an extra Xbox One controller. I don't know why the game requires it but it's kind of stupid (although this may be an Xbox One thing and not a design decision on Ubisoft's part). Also, you may experience varying degrees of input lag depending on your set up. If you can output audio via optical cable to a receiver that's preferable. You can tinker with settings to improve the lag, but it's noticeable at times. I'd like to see more indie bands in the shop, and also some classic stuff like Motown, Staxx/Volt, etc. The game is clearly marketed toward guitar players but I almost exclusively use it for bass. Would love to see Ubisoft put out a few packs geared towards bass players that highlight some of the masters of old (e.g. Jamerson, Dunn) along with more genre packs (punk, post-punk, funk, rap, etc.). In short, I'm glad that Rocksmith is a thing and I hope its audience continues to grow. It's awesome and I recommend it to anyone who wants to practice their chops or host a music night with friends. Totally worth the purchase. ... show more

Great Game That Makes Playing Guitar a Blast
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
Fantastic Game! Got this game for my 11 year old daughter. We had a Fender Squire that worked great plugged right into the XBox One and bass works great as well. It has terrific tutorials that teach all kinds of techniques for both guitar (lead and rhythm) and bass. Its very simple to learn the songs and I'm very impressed with how it scales up the difficulty as you get better each time you play a particular song. I absolutely feel like this game does what it promises and does it well. There are also several mini-games that are fun to play that also help with technique. I would like to give this 5 stars, but can only give it 4 for the following reasons. 1) I'm fairly familiar with a lot of popular classic rock, but probably 60% of the songs that come with the game are ones that I've never heard of before. There are lots of songs that you can download from the cloud, but at $2.99 a song, they aint cheap. 2) Although the game will get you playing these songs and it has lots of great tutorials, I wish there was an option that would allow you to turn on the name of the notes that would show on top of the colored pips that come down the screen. I think that would help amateurs like myself learn the actual notes and their locations on the fret board without losing any fun of the game itself. One of these days, I'm looking forward to purchasing an additional guitar cable (game only comes with one), so my daughter and I can play at the same time. These cost about $30 new, but I'm hoping I can find one a bit cheaper than that. ... show more

Great - but make sure you have the right audio setup.
Platform For Display: Xbox One Edition: Cable Included
The first thing you need to be aware of before purchasing Rocksmith is that there is a known issue with audio lag if you're using HDMI cables for both video and audio on your PS4 or XBox One. Really, Ubisoft recommends having an audio receiver connected via optical audio cable for sound, and HDMI for video out to the TV only (see full details here: http://rocksmith.ubi.com/rocksmith/en-us/setup/index.aspx). If you don't have this setup, you will definitely experience a delay in the timing between when you pluck a string on your guitar, and when you hear it from your television speakers. So buyer beware on that, if it's something you think will be a detriment to your playing experience (as it was mine). I ended up purchasing a Samsung soundbar, for which I had been looking for an excuse to buy, in order to address the issue (don't forget the optical audio cable). Beyond the above facts, this is a great game. To be clear, though, it is more than just a game. It's technically a guitar-playing simulator. So if you're looking for something more arcade-like, look to the Guitar Hero franchise or Rock Band. What Rocksmith does differently primarily comes from the fact that they require a real electric guitar, with real lessons and progressions that lead you up to being able to play actual songs. But they make it tons of fun, and provide incentives to make real progress, so it doesn't feel like you're practicing. You can choose a training regimen that takes you through lead guitar or rhythm guitar, and there are plenty of songs in the base pack that comes with the game. If that's not enough for you, there are additional songs and song packs for specific bands available for purchase through the Microsoft store (I assume that Sony has the same in its store for PS4 users). All in all a great experience for beginners and experienced guitar-players alike. ... show more
