#Rocksmith reviews by musicians ps3

You wouldn't expect a mario game to give you access to world 8 just because you can half-a$$ your way through world 4, why should Rocksmith be any different? The lag when the ps3 audio is hooked straight to your stereo is equal to a good latency midi setup, meaning you can sense it if you're really trying hard but it's not enough to effect your playing. Rocksmith only gives you what you've earned. To all the reviewers complaining about the difficulty not going up fast enough (*cough* joystiq *cough*) I'm pretty sure its because you're not as good of a guitar player as you think you are. Once I got dialed in and actually started playing with precision the game would ramp up the difficulty and mastery level pretty fast. For me this usually comes from missed palm mutes, missed harmonics, half-pressed barre chords, and brain farts. Regarding the auto-difficulty: At first I didn't feel like the difficulty was amping up fast enough, but then I realized after listening to some replays that this was because of my sloppy technique. at higher levels of play it's really just like playing guitar hero with your actual guitar. Don't listen to all the people that say this is more of a tutorial than a game. I've spent roughly 10 of the last 30 hours playing Rocksmith, have over 10 songs with over 85% mastery, mostly songs I'd never heard before, I've spent roughly 10 of the last 30 hours playing Rocksmith, have over 10 songs with over 85% mastery, mostly songs I'd never heard before, and can now say that this game is the bee's knees for anyone that plays guitar for fun regularly. This is like finding a better woman after you are already married, except it is much easier to ditch the old games and play this one. If this game would have came out first, I really think RB and GH would not have taken off like they did.

#Rocksmith reviews by musicians tv

I had to hook my PS3 up directly to the tv and miss the great sound because no matter how hard I tried to adjust the lag it just never felt right, this feels perfect. I have it running through a surround sound receiver through HDMI and then to my tv, and suffer no lag at all. I was a bit leery at first since I heard even if you miss notes the game still plays them, sure it does but the wrong note you hit still plays and it makes it sound terrible, so playing it correctly is satisfying enough. I have not been playing my guitar often in the last few years, and this game gave me a reason to break it out and play again. I have not been Excellent game! It is a much better feeling playing along with songs using a real guitar than a little light plastic toy. Excellent game!
