Rhythm games are generally fun immediately. Real instruments are fun maybe after investing several hundred hours of practice.

I don't know if they've fixed it but I did try version 1 of Rocksmith, a game that's supposed to teach you actual guitar. Unfortunately, the first song was playable by a noob. The 2nd song was impossible for a noob. And that was the end of that.

Maybe they've fix it, or maybe I suck, or maybe some people plow on anyway.

I didn't play Rocksmith for years, but I think it had some "level" setting for most songs. You'd get fewer notes and simpler chords on the easiest level. That said, I didn't start with Rocmith as an absolute beginner. It did improve my rhythm, correctness and speed, which is great, but didn't improve my musical knowledge about notes, chords or scales. I see it as a good stepping stone, but eventually you have to move on.
