Ubisoft shows off Rocksmith at SXSW

At the SXSW event, Ubisoft showed off their latest foray into the world of music-based rhythm games. Called Rocksmith, this game ditches the color coded buttons that you had to hit in games like Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero - replacing 5-button guitar controllers with a real electric guitar instead. Designed for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Rocksmith is a game for guitar enthusiasts. Whether you're a beginner who is starting to pick up the instrument or a seasoned shredder, Rocksmith aims to make use of the guitarist in you.
