I can't believe I didn't review this game yet... It's the only game you can guarantee I will play every single day if I can! If my time count is low it's also because I play a lot of coop and also own the game on console.

Yes, I'm going to give this game a glowing review and from 2 points of view:
1/ If you already know how to play guitar/bass - or at least have all the fundementals
2/ If you're a beginner - just picked up a guitar or want to review all the basics


-A list of songs and dlcs where everyone can find something they like
-A variety of songs to learn using different techniques, effects, rythms...
-Fun minigames just to practice your techniques
-Master mode - if you have this turned on, Rocksmith will eventually remove the notes from the screen so you can properly learn the song without needing Rocksmith with you
-Coop - excellent game to just play some songs with a friend - you don't both need to know it as Rocksnith will be there
-Stuff to learn when you just don't know what you want to play! (biggest pro for me) - Really helped increase my repertoire.
-Session mode - to just jam with a virtual band - fun and relaxing
-Copy effects, tones and sounds from any song in the game for your session mode - Nice little time saver


-You have to go into Riff Repeater to increase the difficulty of each song manualy - I like playing them on 100% difficulty from the start. A setting for "default start difficulty" is missing
-All songs aren't always at the same level - Minor problem as you can just adjust it yourself, but I'd look into that
-Realtone Cable required - the option to use another input method would be nice and save use having to crack the game (there's a no cable fix out there) or having to hunt for one without the game
-Uplay - Just go away! We don't need you! Although you do if you want to unlock bonuses for Rocksmith


-Price! Compared to guitar lessons, Rocksmith is much much cheaper. Even the DLCs are worth it compared to tutoring prices, and that's by a longshot.
-A nice automatic difficulty adjustment - if you play a part of a song perfectly more than once, Rocksmith will slowly increase the difficulty until you're playing the entire song with ALL the notes - I've even used this a few times on really complicated songs
-Riff repeater - slow down a whole song or just one riff and adjust the difficulty of individual riffs to make learning easier
-Minigames are a great and addictive way to practice your techniques. You'll play then without even realising you're getting better at guitar
-Both rythm, lead and bass selection for most of the songs - for bands with 3 guitarists, (like Boston), the 3rd part of the song is found in "bonus arrangements"
-Can teach you the basics of making your own sound using virtual pedals, alot of which are actually licenced
-Rocksmith changes the tone and effects of your guitar for every song so your cheap guitar can sound like the real thing

-Realtone cable - it can also be a pro I guess as it is plug and play - but the dependence on it is a con - see above
-Difficulty can go up/down too soon or late for your liking - no adjustment can be made
-Lacks a proper tutorial for loads of the options - but you will figure it out eventually
-"Rocksmith recommends" can be really useless
-No real career mode (like in the previous game) - No a huge con, but I liked it.
-Uplay - Just go away with your stupid unlocks

All in all, I really have to recommend this game for everyone. If you already know how to play and are set in your ways of playing, then Rocksmith might not work for you, but for everyone else, it's the best tool for learning and practicing guitar and bass I've ever seen! New song DLCs are released every week, so the repertoire keeps growing. I really like it for that. I now know loads of songs I would've never thought to learn and my technique and speed have really improved massively!
