Rocksmith is an alternative to buying sheet music and is by far the the better option , as well as all the tutorial extras . Everyone who plays the electric guitar or bass and doesn't play Rocksmith is missing out on the next evolution of music.

Never mind the German text
Was slightly taken aback by the packaging and leaflet being in German but it didn't cause any problems. Hubby assured me that the actual game (?) is for UK as well. He's happy, so I'm happy!

Money saver
Great bit of kit. Cheaper than English version but in English if you have your xbox account set to English. Save some cash, get this one.

Such a good idea, but some huge glaring problems
I'm a guitar teacher, a grade 8 guitar player, and a performing musician.Rocksmith is a really great idea. I got the game with much excitement. However, here are the main issues with it.1) There is no tablature for any of the songs, and the rocksmith guitar notation is substandard to normal notation, and a pain in the butt to learn to read - especially if you have already spent years and years becoming proficient at reading real music. For example, when I learned 'Plug In Baby' by Muse, it was from a tab book with timings written clearly in the stave above. On Rocksmith there's a very very unclear timing guide and the notes on harder songs are laid out like a bewildering onslaught of multicoloured squares that, if you're a serious musician, the only way to really figure out is to actually painstakingly work through them with GuitarPro or a similar program, converting them all into standard tab.2) There is no way to turn up the guitar track you are supposed to be learning, or to listen to it in isolation. An intensely irritating example of this would be 'Live Forever' by Oasis, where in the original track, the lead guitar parts are virtually inaudible in the mix. When learning the song on the hardest setting, not only do you have to endure the at times indecipherable rocksmith guitar notation (which is great if you're a beginner and a nightmare if you're not) but you can't even listen to it to figure out the timings! In the end I had to go on youtube and watch people playing the piece perfectly so that i could actually hear the lead part!!!!! very much not ideal. This issue occurs in lots of songs and could easily be remedied by allowing the player to turn up the individual guitar part, or listen to it in isolation.3) The game requires you to hook the audio outputs of your system to an external speaker using analogue connectors to reduce the audio/video lag. This works just fine. However, there is STILL a lag when playing the game on 'score attack' mode - and the lag exists between the playing of the guitar and the game processing the notes. What this means in real terms, is the game will only tell you you have hit a 'perfect' note if you actually hit the note a millisecond too early. And on the more difficult songs, this amounts to having to retrain yourself to actually play out of time if you want the game to register a perfect performance. Of all the issues, this one is the most glaring, frustrating, and seemingly ignored by the makers, Ubisoft. It means the leaderboards are also a bit of a farce - the people who score the high marks who have the time and inclination to relearn how to play guitar a split second too fast - and what on earth is the real-world application or point of a skill like that? Give me a break.If these issues were fixed - tabs, adjustable volume levels for guitar parts completely buried in the mix, and fixing that hideous hideous processing lag, this game would be utterly indispensable as a guitar teaching tool worldwide. As it is, it is a very good idea that has, unfortunately, been imperfectly executed. If they fix these things, I will take it all back.
