Well it's nice that it's good to learn with practicing my parents are making me play it anyway it looks fun to learn with
The story mode in this game is horrendous. It's long boring and un fun. And often the guitar doesn't pic up when you hit a note. Even though it's completely tuned. I hate it when it forces you to play garbage songs like unnatural selection that are wayyyyy too long and boring in order to progress. I also don't like how you have to unlock games in the guitarcade
No way this is so much better than guitar hero and rock band. This actually let's you use a real guitar and not some plastic walmart one that barely registers half the time
I miss guitar hero
The dlc is not to simple try playing the free bird solo (combo)
F
Still better than COD…
so… this looks pretty awesome. Just 2 questions. 1. It looks good for teaching songs but what about tabs? 2 for an acoustic would i just buy a pickup?
I like the seriousness of it
For beginners I would give it a 9.0. For intermediate or better it's mostly a waste of time or just a way to practice your basic techniques in a casual way. If you find traditional practicing boring then this game is probably for you. However don't expect to become a better than average guitarist with this learning tool.
@Kris Gil don't confuse add with mod. Some songs like some AC/DC songs I've seen probably aren't even available to officially download.
through the fire and flames isnt as hard as some people think
I think I might give this ago, I'll get it pre owned though!
lol, you can actually download Through the Fire and the Flames on Rocksmith if you want. Actually you can download a bunch a different songs for Rocksmith, just look at the other videos that people posted of them playing Rocksmith. There are a number of different songs you can download to Rocksmith of all different difficulty levels.
@hioeo lol, what do you have against DragonForce.
Multiplayer?? A game like this doesn't need multiplayer!!!
yes
he said its not good for people who know how to play guitar well
Can u use bass guitars
i dont think lonley should really be a negative point
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Hahah i was guna buy this but its apparently a loneky game lol đ
I would say: Got an El-guitar? wanna teach the guitar basics? or how to play some new songs? BUY IT!
wanna party with friends with a fun video game? Buy Guitar hero (or something similar)
know the basics will learn more? Get a guitar teacher/book/experiment on your own!
Over all it's an entertaining game, it's up to you if it's worth your time^^
Compared to entertainment games like Guitar Hero, It might be a little boring in the long term, cause it's mainly about teach how to play.
Compared to a good guitar teacher it might not give you everything there is to know about how to play a guitar.
It gives you the basic of the basics: what string to pick and what chord to play in the songs available. It is a very good game for newcomers, but there is more to guitar that knowing how to play a few songs^^
Too simple? how is that a bad thing? haha, its good for me, i dont even know how to use a guitar xd
any electric guitar works. instead of a peripheral, it uses a special converter cable.
YES! my cuz had a bad car wreak…in recovery i let him borrow it. 1 week he's jammin! seriously!!
BUY IT! IT KICKS FISTS!
crap review. this game kicks ass & they better make another! In i much higher league! it more than a game! im an ASCAP member & veteran musician. have played live in front of countless souls & i love it!! was a halo/ call of duty junkie for a while and this game saved me. the amp mode is awesome! i've actually tracked with it! Alas.. i'd expect a tone deaf goomba with no rock skills to not have fun with this one..just sorry you gave it the IGN 8.0 just because you HAVE NO MUSICAL TALENT. FNDERP
It teaches you to play songs, not music theory…
Do I have to buy a specific guitar for this or use my electric guitar?
I'm confused is it a good game???
GuitarBots is free and I learned faster
I think this game deserves an upgraded review because of the dlc that is release has changed the simplicity of this game into a difficult and enjoying one. Cliffs of dover, yyz, burning for you are a few both difficult and enjoying add ons.
This is the best music game ever but ign is right. I was somewhat of an intermediate player when I bought it and found it pretty boring at first because it was too easy and the song list sucks. The dlcs are really cool but you have to pay for all of them. I don't got any of the dlcs and yet I'm still able to have so much fun with this.
No.
Go With the Flow by QOTSA is on the main setlist. Float On by Modest Mouse came out as DLC last week.
Is there any third eye blind modest mouse oasis or qotsa in this?
