How the blue hell have I not heard about this game until now??? Probably because I've been blatantly ignoring the music game genre for a while now, but this just shatters it - YOU PLAY A REAL GUITAR!!!

Found the trailer on the US PSN store while trawling for Mortal Kombat stuff last night and I don't think I've been more pumped for a game in a long time. Supposed to be coming for 360, PS3 and PC in their Fall, though it seems no one over here has an actual date for it yet. I can see this being both a PS3 and PC purchase.

I saw a single piece on it a while back, on Gamesradar I think, but promptly forgot about it. I have this feeling it won't be released here, or the dongle will be very hard to find if sold separately.

Would like to see a tracklist.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

I think that tracklist is actually incomplete. There is actually 50 songs in the game, so that's just over half.

Here's a list of the minigames-

Quote:
 
Ducks is a shooting game (think Galaga) that teaches you fret placement, but keeps it simple with a single string.
Super Ducks is similar to Ducks, though it uses all six strings.
Scale Runner focuses on teaching basic scale patterns.
Quick Pick Dash is all about picking speed. Here, you simply pick the selected string as fast as possible. This is a good way to learn string placement.
Big Swing Baseball puts you on home plate, ready to swing. You hit the ball by playing the correct note on the guitar.
Super Slider is a puzzle game inspired by Nintendo's Dr. Mario. You need to use the slide technique to succeed here.
Dawn of the Chordead mixes up chord playing with zombie killing. Play the right chord to kill the little zombies. Yes, even a music game has zombies these days.
Harmonically Challenged is a "Simon says" type of game where you have to repeat a series of harmonics.

Hmm, I'm tempted to get this. Being self taught guitarist there's probably a bit this game could teach me in basic stuff I never picked up on

Those mini games sound like a good way of learning or refreshing fret knowledge and skills. Theyre probably a bigger draw than the song list, for me anyway. Still not sure if I can be bothered importing though.

You mean clicking a link and having it delivered to your door as opposed to having to go down the shops yourself? :P

I probably would have leaned towards importing anyway. I can see the DLC songs being more readily available from the US stores than ours, whenever it should get here. There'll probably already be DLC by the time it gets released here.

Alot of the songs on that list I've never even heard of, but I'm looking forward to ripping into some Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots. Considering how much Dave Navaro has been in their preview videos, there's gotta be some Jane's Addiction in there somewhere.

I meant not sure if I can be bothered enough to get it at all. I have this feeling I'd play it a couple times then just go back to using my tascam to slow stuff down so i can play it and lamenting my loss of fretboard skills.

Release date for Europe was supposed to be today, but instead they announced it will be delayed over there due to licensing issues with the songs. US is still set for next week, though have warned that the 360 version IS region locked.

Must admit this seems like a fun way to learn instruments incorporating game play like Guitar Hero/Band hero style with learning.
They should do it with more instruments.

There are strong rumours that an update to add bass isn't too far behind it's release.

First ever update that removes features (two strings, and the ability to look cool)

So it turns out that the real reason it may be delayed in Europe is because there is actually a band in the UK called Rocksmith and they're kicking up a stink. Good on them for waiting till the absolute last minute. If that's the case then I'm sure Ubisoft are going to see legal options as a viable alternative to replacing all those discs, manual and covers with the name all over it.
