Raing out of 5: ****

Ever played Guitar Hero and felt guilty that it was a plastic guitar you'd dedicated whole chunks of your life to mastering?

Well, Rocksmith offers a solution in the shape of a specially designed USB guitar lead which sees your TV become an amp and enables your console to detect the frequency of the notes you're playing.

Included songs are the expected mix of rock from past and present, but the beauty is the carefully pitched difficulty, which self-adjusts depending on the skill of the player.

A host of tutorials complete an impressive package, let down only by the odd moment of frustrating inaccuracy in its pick-ups. - The Independent
