New Guitar game from UBISoft

It's been a tough stretch for the rhythm genre. After being sold off by former parent Viacom, Rock Band developer Harmonix laid off 15 percent of its staff. Meanwhile, rival rhythm publisher Activision completely disbanded its Guitar Hero business unit, taking the DJ Hero franchise with it. Undaunted, Ubisoft has decided to enter the genre.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ubisoft will unleash Rocksmith for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii this September. The game will come with 45 songs from bands like the Rolling Stones, the Animals, David Bowie, and Nirvana. According to the report, Rocksmith will sport songs not available in Rock Band or Guitar Hero games.

Hmm.. it seems this game will be using real guitars. It seems it will actually teach you to play the real thing! Sounds awesome. If this is true, then it isnt really targeted to the casual crowd.
