| Guitar Hero in my opinion although I'd have to give credit to Rock Band for song choice because of the DLC. |

Tbh there's no comparison. Actually playing a guitar in rocksmith is a completely different ballpark from playing a controller in RB or GH. If you want realism, go for Rocksmith. If realism isn't your thing, choose one of the others.
Personally I have GH. But I hear good things about Rockband. I don't think you'll regret your choice, regardlesss of which you choose.
Being in the UK I still have to wait for Rocksmith. But I have already placed my preorder. My hope is that I will never have to play another RB or GH style game again. Not because of their quality, as I love playing them. But I really want the 'Use your own real guitar' approach to become mainstream. |

| No no no no no, it teaches you how to play the bass riffs. Playing guitar and bass guitar is similar, but playing bass correctly is completely different to playing guitar. |

I need to get this game, I haven't heard much about it in the UK.
Why does the box at the side say it's released in Europe October 19 2102? |

id say this is a much better concept than either GH or rockmband... however its the first and so they are at a bit of a disadvantage since your comparing tit to 2 series with countless releases
also @8 i completely agree hey loose major points for thinking you can emulate a bass on a 6 string |

| @1 Rock Band has the best set list cause the keep adding hands down but Rocksmith is toward the people that want to learn how to play guitar. I have both of them and RockSmith can boring really quick. |

| wow i would have expected the option to choose bass to come with the original game. Pretty awful that you need to pay $30 for it |

| This game actually teaches you to play? |

It does teach you to play. Real exercises are turned into mini games and it adjusts to your speed. At first you may only play single notes and only quarters and eights, which are one or two notes per bar. It really does help. Some of the mini games help with finger independence. A demo would be nice for many people but the guitar cable is like 30 bucks alone.

@15 As much as I love to play Rocksmith, I don't think it's safe to say the game "teaches" you how to play, rather it shows you what to play. Granted, there are videos in the game too that will show you how to do certain techniques and etc.
If you're new to the guitar or bass, like me, then it's best to still use traditional methods to "learn" such as books, online lessons, and people to jam with in real life.
But Rocksmith is an awesome game that really lets you improve and show off (even to just yourself) your abilties, while making it incredibly fun and not as tedious as sitting down with a book and playing scales to a metronome. |

| I would really hope that the European release includes this bass DLC for free, given the amount of time we've had to wait. |

| They are releasing an updated version of Rocksmith on October 16 in the US that uses both Guitar and Bass for $79.99. This is just DLC to upgrade people that already own the original to include Bass. And yes you can use an actually Bass Guitar to play the Bass part of the game. |
