Ubisoft unveils more songs for Rocksmith tracklist

Ubisoft showed off their upcoming music-based rhythm game, Rocksmith, at this year’s SXSW event. The game that lets users plug in a real guitar into their consoles as opposed to plastic controllers with five different colored buttons. This way, players are doing more than just playing a game – they’re actually learning how to play songs as well.

The game is set to be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in fall 2011 for $79.99. Ubisoft has announced some new tracks that will be featured in the game:

• Best Coast – When I’m With You
• Blur – Song 2
• The Black Keys – Next Girl
• The Boxer Rebellion – Step Out Of The Car
• Cream – Sunshine Of Your Love
• The Cribs – We Share The Same Skies
• The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry
• Jenny O – Well OK Honey
• Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama
• Nirvana – Breed
• Pixies – Where Is My Mind?
• Radiohead – High and Dry
• Red Fang – Number Thirteen
• The Rolling Stones – The Spider and the Fly
• Silversun Pickups – Panic Switch
• Soundgarden – Outshined
• Spoon – Me and The Bean
• Stone Temple Pilots – Vasoline
• Taddy Porter – Mean Bitch
• Titus Andronicus – A More Perfect Union
• White Denim – Burnished
• The White Stripes – Icky Thump
• Yellow Moon Band – Chimney

In addition to the previously announced:

• The Animals – House of the Rising Sun
• The Black Keys – I Got Mine

With the music rhythm video game genre somewhat dead at the moment, can Ubisoft bring it back to life with Rocksmith?
