Rocksmith

The gameplay follows a familiar view from those games where a song is represented as a stream of notes flowing on a board towards the player. They need to be timed right to play them out correctly. Near the bottom of the screen, there is a horizontal overlay that shows the correct position on the fingerboard. Near the top of the screen, the lyrics flow by along with the overall score based on accuracy and difficulty. An overall rating keeps track of the progress throughout the entire game. The game comes with over 50 classic and modern rock songs, including some unlockables when a double encore is achieved in a journey mode.

In the amp mode, the sounds of the guitar can be tuned through a selection of pedals and amplifiers. They can be mapped to three slots to activate them during songs. Preset settings are used for each song by default to make them sound authentic and custom ones are unlocked when a song has been properly played. A riff repeater option offers custom difficulty levels by breaking up the songs into parts such as the intro, outro, solo, verse, and it comes with three modes. The Free Play mode requires every note to be played, while The Accelerator adapts based on speed along with the option to define a custom speed throughout the song. Performing well in The Leveler raises percentages until a riff has been mastered.
