RockSmith is the sophisticated rhythm game cum teaching tool which has players utilising a real guitar to achieve goals, one of these it seems is the ability to learn to play said guitar in the shortest time possible.
Earlier this year publisher Activision announced the cancellation of all Guitar Hero and D.J. Hero projects leaving EA's Rockband as the most obvious rhythm based video game franchise still with a heartbeat. Well publisher Ubisoft has decided to take the microphone centre stage with a new IP known as Rocksmith, using real guitar's as input to a video game.
