Rocksmith – Authentic Guitar Games
© 2012 Ubisoft, Inc.
Plug your real electric bass or guitar into your PS3 or Xbox game console, to play along with selections of music. It's like karaoke, with real instruments. Your instrument must have a 1/4" output jack in order to work. There are multiple levels, from single notes to complex chords and techniques, and a nice selection of music, from different genres. Rocksmith includes a 1/4-inch-to-USB cable.
