This is a Pack/Addon for Rocksmith 2014, requiring the base game to function. Released in 2014, it enhances the core music simulation gameplay—where you learn songs on a real electric guitar or bass via scrolling note highways—by adding five specific tracks by Audioslave. Distinctively, this content integrates new, authentic artist tones for each song, playable on both guitar and bass within the existing Rocksmith framework.
As a Song Pack, this addition significantly enhances the existing library of playable tracks within Rocksmith 2014. It does not introduce new story modes, levels, or characters, but rather focuses entirely on providing new musical challenges and authentic arrangements. The quality and scope of the content are comparable to other official song packs released for the platform, offering several full, playable songs.
Integration is seamless: once purchased and installed, these new tracks become available within the standard Rocksmith 2014 modes, including Lessons, Score Attack, and the standard Play mode. Each song is presented with note-for-note accuracy, allowing players to practice using the game's signature real-time feedback system.
This specific pack centers around the music of the band Audioslave, adding five distinct tracks to the player's repertoire. The included songs are:
A key feature accompanying this content is the inclusion of new, authentic tones for each song. This means the game attempts to replicate the specific amplifier and effects settings used by the original artists for those tracks, allowing guitarists and bassists to achieve a closer sonic match to the recordings while practicing. Furthermore, all included tracks are playable on both electric guitar and electric bass.
The core gameplay mechanics remain consistent with the parent game: players plug an electric guitar or bass into their PC via the required Real Tone Cable (sold separately from the base game). The game then displays scrolling tablature synchronized with the music, highlighting which notes to play on which fret and string. This pack simply provides five new pieces of music to engage with using this established simulation system.
