- Those with zero existing understanding will find that Rocksmith 2014 Edition will cause their guitar to gently weep, but when used as an accompaniment to real lessons, the software really sings. With a wealth of songs to learn and excellent arcade minigames that make typically tedious practice exercises actually entertaining, anyone with the right attitude will find real value here.
Sammy Barker · Nov 09, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Rocksmith 2014 is a very impressive guitar learning experience. Its comprehensive suite of lessons and practice formats, fun mini-games and hugely entertaining Session Mode make it suitable for anyone, from novices who've never picked up a guitar to competent players looking to improve their technique.
Jaz Rignall · Sep 23, 2014 Reviewed on PS3 - Rocksmith 2014 Edition is certainly more suited to complete beginners than experienced musicians, yet still includes a host of brilliant features that will improve your skills when used daily. Despite its muddled presentation and occasional technical hiccups, this is still a great tool, providing you with the ingenious Riff Repeater and your very own virtual band.
Katy Ellis · Nov 22, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - If you are looking for an educational and fun way to learn guitar, Rocksmith 2014 can definitely give you what you want. The tutorial videos have been upgraded, the Guitarcade is more badass, and the riff repeater mode is flawless. The only downside is tuning ,which can be a bit too overbearing at times. For those of you who loved the original Rocksmith setlist, you can import all of the on-disk songs from the last game for $9.99, but any DLC purchased for the original game will automatically sync to your game.
Jessica Vazquez · Oct 31, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - But after a few hours with Rocksmith, my skills improved in the sense that I was no longer a guitar-virgin, and had a basic understanding of the dos and do nots. I won’t be sitting beneath an old tree on some college campus reciting pretentious hogwash to a bunch of promiscuous socialites with my trusty 6 string any time soon, but I’ll continue to learn, and eventually advance beyond the help of Rocksmith, grow horns and dethrone Jimi Hendrix as the greatest guitarist of all time. If I ever find the time, that is.
Lee Cooper · Oct 29, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - The biggest issue you may run into is that you may not have your own electric guitar, but buy one, rent one, or borrow one from your school or a friend, it will be worth it. For those that think Rocksmith 2014 Edition is merely just an update with new songs, grab your axe and be prepared to be blown away.
Frank Naresh · Oct 26, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Consequently, there’s no doubt that Rocksmith 2014 is going to continue to set me on the path to guitar mastery thanks to its wealth of options, tutorials and songs. This is much more than just a rhythm game: Rocksmith 2014 is a masterfully put together and fun learning package that will change some people’s lives for the better by introducing them to the joys of playing guitar. If you've ever thought about playing the guitar or improving your skills, now is the perfect time.
Steven Williamson · Oct 25, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - It’s a title with a very specific purpose and real world application in mind, and for that alone I could give it a nearly perfect score. It is lag free (based on my home theater setup), load free, and features a simple yet modern interface design. Navigation is extremely quick meaning you spend more time playing and less time figuring out where to go, and the song selection is varied enough that there is something for everyone.
Chandler Wood · Oct 24, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Rocksmith 2014 is not a game. It is a tool for learning, with benefits. You can enjoy the experience you get with the game at face value. However, it is not designed this way. It says on a piece of paper in the box that you can learn to play the guitar in 60 days by taking the 60-day challenge. While I am not going to say this is 100% accurate, I can honestly claim that if you have the drive to learn, then Rocksmith will definitely be the best tutor you’ll ever pay for.
Matt Walker · Oct 23, 2013 Reviewed on PC, PS3Read full review - What makes Rocksmith 2014 such a great companion for any guitarist or bassist is its power to incentivise: it’s capable of sparking new passions or rekindling old ones in players of all skill levels via its successful gamification of common guitar-playing techniques. It’s smooth, flexible, always encouraging, and makes practicing a pleasure rather than a chore. Whether you’re a fretboard virgin or a would be virtuoso, Rocksmith 2014 deserves a place in your daily practice routine.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Rocksmith 2014 offers three different development paths for lead and rhythm guitar as well as bass. It now includes the ability to set song difficulty, rather than having to play the song starting at the lowest difficulty, as in Rocksmith. The game will have a Session Mode, which enables players to perform in jam sessions with the in-game musicians. Other new modes include an enhanced Master Mode to help with memory-playing and new Guitarcade minigames. New missions have been added as a way to challenge and direct players towards areas they need improvements.
Developer: Ubisoft San Francisco
