Kirk Hamilton, Multi-Instrumentalist and Music-Game Liker

“No”s across the board here, and as a result I’m going to give Rocksmith a “yes.” But it’s only a symbolic “yes”, because this game does a lot of things very right, and I want to reward that. It manages to do what Guitar Hero and even Rock Band only hinted at — take real-world musical instruction and apply it to a video game setting. It’s well-made, and it works… except for lag, which bugged the crap out of me but which I eventually got around.
