does it keep your interest even if you play real instruments?

It keeps my interested. Vocals are trickier than singing in real life, because you have to ape exactly what they're doing. Even worse with people who actually sing slightly flat, because it fucks with your sensibilities. Plus, you can't manage a note by simply singing, say, down a sixth (A lot of artists will even sing their own shit picking notes harmonic to the original line when they sing live).
The GH/RB games have actually been great rehab for my fucked up shoulder and the attached, and it's still fun to plick up a dumb little plastic instrument and stum away. It's not the same experience, but it's still fun as fuck.
Clox has a point, in his own pretentious way. The games aren't about creativity; if you want that, get a real (insert instrument here). They're not even really about simiulating the experience. They streamline the experience of playing an instrument. It's about fun, which is why Kalyx's 24 tier, six strum bar guitar game doesn't exist yet.
