Imagine picking up that Stratocaster of yours and plugging it directly into your Xbox or PS3, now wouldn’t that be something? Well Ubisoft has announced a revolutionary music game, Rocksmith, that lets you do just that; sorry, no more plastic guitars kiddos.
All you have to do is get a real guitar, and no matter what level of experience you have you can plug it in via a USB-1/4 in cable, tune up, and you’re good to go!
You simply plug in your real instrument using a standard quarter-inch input jack, that then attaches to your PC, PS3 or Xbox 360 via USB, tune it up and strum away!
“Rocksmith is the most authentic and addictive music game ever created,” said Geoffroy Sardin, HQ Chief Marketing & Sales Officer at Ubisoft EMEA. “Whether a beginner or a seasoned guitarist, players can progress at their own speed and walk away from the game with the ability to play songs by memory. Rocksmith is the only video game that gets players stage-ready.”
The game will feature an entire library of tracks, but the bands that have been confirmed so far include The Animals, The Black Keys, David Bowie, Interpol, Nirvana, and The Rolling Stones.
