This is a Pack/Addon for Rocksmith 2014, requiring the base game to access its content. Released in 2014, this simulator DLC integrates five specific Shinedown songs—"Bully," "45," "Sound of Madness," "Second Chance," and "Enemies"—into the existing guitar/bass learning framework. The core gameplay loop involves learning these tracks using the game's real-time feedback system. A distinctive feature is the inclusion of new, authentic tones specifically modeled after the original recordings for each added song.
As a Song Pack, this content is not a standalone experience. It requires ownership of the parent game, Rocksmith 2014, to be accessed and played. The primary function of this DLC is to introduce a specific set of licensed tracks for users to learn and master on an electric guitar or bass. The scope of this addition is focused entirely on musical content, adding five specific songs from the band Shinedown to the available song library within the main game environment.
This integration means that players can immediately utilize all of Rocksmith 2014's existing mechanics—such as real-time feedback, difficulty scaling, and practice tools—with these new tracks.
This specific pack focuses on providing five distinct tracks from the artist Shinedown. The included songs are:
A significant feature accompanying these tracks is the inclusion of new, authentic tones tailored to replicate the sound profile of the original recordings for each song. When a player selects one of these tracks, the game loads a specific amplifier and effects setup designed to match the Shinedown sound, allowing guitarists and bassists to practice with the correct sonic characteristics.
For players who utilize Rocksmith 2014 as a guitar learning tool, this pack expands the repertoire available for practice. It offers specific, professionally licensed material that allows users to apply the game's simulation mechanics to popular rock music, providing structured practice opportunities for specific riffs, solos, and chord progressions found within these five songs.
This particular Song Pack was released for the PC platform, utilizing the Microsoft Windows operating system. It remains a fixed addition to the Rocksmith 2014 catalog.
