Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft's 2013 music game, a follow up to Rocksmith that is described as a replacement rather than a sequel. You plug in virtually any electric or bass guitar with a USB adapter, so no special controller is needed, and the game comes with 66 songs, with over a thousand more as paid downloads. It offers three development paths, for lead, rhythm and bass guitar. You can set a song's difficulty instead of starting at the lowest, and a Session Mode lets you jam with the in game musicians. Other modes include an enhanced Master Mode to help with memorizing and Guitarcade minigames, and missions direct you toward what you need to improve. Even now, playing your own guitar makes every song a lesson you learn by playing it.
