At first I wasn’t going to buy this game in a million years.Then I thought “maybe this game won’t be so bad after all”. Now that I’ve seen this review and that video you posted a while back, I’ve gone back to “this game sucks”. Oh,and you guys have been saying it’s for kids, specifically it’s for little kids because I’m 12 and I would not enjoy it at all.

Now I’m really considering purchasing this title..I really, from the beginning knew that WiiMusic wasn’t going to be something that you can easily judge just by watching it on TV, or watching someone play…It clearly something that you must experience for yourself and open your mind to. I used to be in a band in middle school, and I really enjoyed those times in the band room, I really hope this game, can sorta bring me back to that..

Very nice review, indeed. I’m still on the fence. I have to choose between this and other great games I want right now, but it’s very likely I’ll buy it sooner or later.

If they announce new songs over DLC it will be an instant buy for me, as much as I don’t like DLC in general (since my only concern right now about the game is its longevity).

You guys are right, I stand corrected. I’ve repented and I will buy Wii Music day one, and learn to enjoy it.

“Jeff, learn to comment.

Jack premise for Wii Fit and Wii Music being one of THE games of our decade was based solely on sales. Thats like saying McDonalds is “THE store of the decade” based solely on their billions and billions served.”

Oh HO! The turn of phrase! You are trying to do a simple logical substitution but are failing, mainly because it isn’t JUST sales numbers Jack is citing when he talks about Wii Fit being important. But you keep bringing up something popular that’s “double plus uncool” and saying something snarky about it like it makes it all better. It’s pretty crass elitism and it doesn’t favor you well.

I mean, is popularity bad? If one of your favorite games was a quadrillion seller, would you be happy for it, or would you suddenly feel your video game “street cred” be threatened and try to go more obscure? It sounds like someone has an image problem, and it isn’t the non-gamers or Nintendo fans this time.

I had written this game off after watching the E3 presentation. I don’t know what it was but I felt immediately embarrassed watching it played live on stage.

The more I thought about it though, I really enjoy “pointless” games like animal crossing and endless ocean. So I decided to try out Wii Music.

It’s amazingly fun. So fun. It really captures the joy of playing music. I hope my family will like to play, too, so we can jam together. I already know of one relative who never plays games and hates electronic music but who will absolutely love playing.

Kudos Nintendo.

muggins, many people’s first impressions are that the game is simple. if you’re a creative person that likes to play with music, change it up, experiment, remix, etc, it seems that most people who get over the hump, begin to realize the depth behind this game. give it a chance. the trend seems that people change their minds on the title after putting some time into it.

daverage, so tell me, ps2 was the best console last generation, based on SALES, hardware and software. was it the best last gen? of course it was. your mcdonalds analogy, you are talking about food, which cannot be any more different than video games. great analogy on your part. mcD’s burgers are the cheapest food on the planet. i can buy a double cheesburger on the dollar menu. a gourmet burger @ the 99? probably about 8 bucks. how much is wii fit, $70? wii music, $50? gta4, $60. they are all fair comparisons.

@ daverage and richter.

you guys are idiots. the analogy wasn’t a good one, with MIB vs shawshank, but it still proves the point. ok, so how about star wars vs forest gump. star wars is the mother of all movies. but anyone that knows anything that none of the star wars movies, even the original trilogy were particularly critic proof. so i believe that is a good analogy. star wars, any of the movies are box office monsters, and almost everyone will tell you is a better movie than forest gump. you might be a self proclaimed elitist and say forrest gump is better, but majority rules. sorry, just the way it is. if wii music outsells GTA4 in lifetime sales, then wii music is the better game, voted by the people with their wallets. and sorry both you guys are in the minority, which is too bad for you.
