Rocksmith, the better alternative to Guitar Hero

Coming out Fall 2011, Guitar Hero competitor, “Rocksmith” is a game for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC that allows you to use any real guitar you want.

That means you can use your favorite six-stringed guitar to play the game, instead of a plastic, guitar-shaped controller with only five colored buttons.

Rocksmith allows you to actually learn songs on guitar instead of just playing a video game with no real redeeming value. This means that people who play guitar will be more prone to play the game, and possibly even those who don’t currently play may show an interest in learning to play the actual instrument after picking up the game.

Since it’s still a video game, after all, that means that there will be competition, just like in Guitar Hero, but instead this will be competition that requires actual skill and talent – not just the ability to see who can push colored buttons the fastest.
