One of my most played "games" ever. I've also purchased my fair chunk of DLC, and it was worth every penny to me.

If you have any interest in playing guitar this could change your life. Aspects like the riff repeater make practicing songs easier than they ever have been before. You will also discover you like bands you now like that you never really listented to before. Don't knock Iron Maiden until you've learned to play a song.

The transcriptions of songs are very high quality. There are occasional mistakes of course, but their transcriptions tend to be higher quality than the official tab books for many artists.

You will not enjoy this software unless you buy the cable. Many of the negative reviews seem to stem from frustration that they have to purchase a rocksmith cable, or frustration that trying to avoid this purchase is causing the game to not work correctly, which is missing the forest for the trees. $30 is nothing in terms of learning to play guitar. That is the cost of single song book or a half hour guitar lesson. You can also use this cable as a recording interface if you want to record songs outside of Rocksmith, which is significantly cheaper than alternatives.
