Ubisoft inveils Rocksmith for real Guitars

Posted by: 3/15/2011

Well, you thought that rhythm games were dying and so did we, someone seems to disagree. Ubisoft lifted the curtains on Rocksmith today, a new game franchise where players plug real guitars into their Xbox 360, PS3 or PC.

The game’s library will include songs ranging from the latest hits to classic rock. The gameplay in Rocksmith will adjust automatically to the player’s skill level and will make reading music visually fun and intuitive according to Ubisoft.

“Rocksmith is the most authentic and addicting music game ever created,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft U.S.. “Whether a beginner or a seasoned guitar vet, players 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.”

Rocksmith is developed by Ubisoft internally and will ship in the later half of 2011.
