wii music review - 5.0

[QUOTE="Fawlcon_Pawnch"][QUOTE="thegoldenpoo"]

surprisingly high score for such a poor heap of ****

i mean seriesly, there isn't even any gameplay its just flailing and MIDI files (oh god why MIDI files?! WHY?!) i suppose people go soft when they see a nintendo logo i would personally give this a 0/10 on principle becuases its crap like this that will kill gaming.

also i hate Mii's

and puppies

and sunshine :P

SpinoRaptor

Everytime i hear the "kill gaming" comment i die a little inside.

Seriously, Wii Music is killing gaming?!!

Is it helping gaming?

Its doing neither.

Its just another game out there, in this case aimed towards the more casual crowd. Stop being so dramatic.

Only dumb sheep wouldn't defend this game, because it's games like these that are going to move hardware andget more 3rd parties interested in the Wii.mdisen2

The Wii is already the best selling current generation system on the market,so how come the latter hasn't already happened yet?

Not a surprising score.But at least it will sell well; that's a good thing,right?:|VGobbsesser

No, not really. How would it be a good thing?

Cool, something to handout to kids for Halloween.

for those asking "why MIDI why?"

It wouldn't have been possible any other way. There simply wouldn't be enough room on the disc (be it DVD or Blu-Ray) to hold the number of tracks required.

You're talking 60 different instruments each capable of playing any part of the track in a variety of styles...you'd be talking thousands and thousands of hours of recording. This isn't like other music games where you have a set track with set notes and set instruments. MIDI is the only option (although that's not to say they could have got some better MIDI samples for some instruments)

the sad thing is that if it did then it would still sell more the the public than the next-box, the general public are generally stupid in my opinion, hell they all buy closed platforms like the i-pod and woder why we never see innovation.

:lol:

i dont think anyone really cared for this

Good, I hope this game is a complete flop.lantus

Unless it gets a 0 :lol:

who didn't see this coming since it was announced?whodeysay85

The Wii owners who haven't gotten a good game in a long time, and have to grasp for straws, hoping the waggle instruments get at least a 6 or 7 here so they can justify a purchase without feeling like they wasted money (unless of course its free, then go for it) this looks like something that should have been either pre-installed on the Wii or a free tech demo. 1up was clearly high while reviewing it, or they wanted to be like LOL what happenes if we give this crap a high score and suddenly everyone thinks theres a small chance its good. I guess what happened was, a couple of sheep suddenly got excited that they can break out the wii and a duster.

I take this with a grain of salt. The guy admits that he came into the game wanting to hate it and wow, surprise surprise he hates it. Thats a major issue I have with video game "journalist". They don't seem to have any real training in being a journalist and they don't stick to unsaid rules that you see followed by people who review music, movies, books, etc like no blatant fanboyism (or at least warning that you're a fanboy), going into a review wanting to hate what you're reviewing, and a variety of things that add professionalism to the trade.

I didn't understand when he bashed the game for not having a music maker mode. Is he saying that the unreleased GH:WT and MTV Music Maker are the only good music games (since those are the only ones with a music maker mode)?

He's upset that there aren't modern songs... but if i'm correct isn't the game based around an orchestra? The last time I heard an orchestra on Pop radio it was Bittersweet Symphony and that was just a sample... and it was like a decade ago.

"To its credit, the game allows you the freedom to pepper songs with your own ****-- you can add notes, hold notes, and alter pitch with some items, a truth enhanced by the fact that there is a robust list of instruments to choose from, some 60 total. But when all is said and done, you're not so much creating as you are modifying songs, so if you're accustomed to really taking the reigns of your videogames, I think you will be left wanting more from Wii Music's setup."

Once again, outside of MTV Music Generator and an unreleased game, what current music game (Rock Band, Guitar Hero) isn't like this? Rock Band 2 is brand new and is just like this AND it has no music editor mode yet the reviewer didn't drop off 5 points because of it.

i know about 5 wii owners that got 360/PS3 this year. I suggest everyone else does the same. If you want to actually play something this year....

Exactly. The more this game sells the more **** nintendo will put on the market.

Exactly, my wallet is getting emptied by PS3/360 purchases, I'd be rich right now if I only had a Wii, but my 360 cost less then a Wii anyway, even with a harddrive.

de Blob, Strongbad, Sam & Max Season 1, Wario Land and World of Goo

Have all been good games that games that have come out for the Wii has of late. Not jaw dropping ones like LBP or Gears. But still good games overall.

Well a retail premium 360 is actually cheaper here in UK than a wii. But wii still otusells it 5:1. Kind of makes you realise who is actually buying the wii....not gamers that's for sure.

Hope Nintendo learns from this mistake , they're getting too overconfident

I'll admit World of goo is good but Wario land was average.

I'll admit World of goo is good but Wario land was average.

Kratos_OMEGA

To be fair I have not played Wario. Many of my friends have and enjoied it. There too many other games coming out right now for me to get it. I do own de blob and enjoy the game quite a lot. Strongbad is a lot of fun also, but only if you are already a Homestarrunner fan other wise you will not understand half the jokes.

If you are a Tetris fan I would recommend Tetris Party which just came out on the Wii over Tetris Spash on the 360. I have both and Tetris Party is much better.

My sister owns a wii i dont' play it much. Only when she's playing i might try something. Not really worth it.

I own all three systems. The Wii and 360 see all most all of my gameplay. Right now it's de blob for the Wii and I have been playing Half-life 2 from the orange box and DDR:U on my 360.

Anyone with a three digit IQ knows this and yet these "hardcore gamers" act as though Wii Music is some sort of proof that Nintendo fails at everything forever.

It should have scored a 1:roll: I just don't get nintendo these daysjasonheyman

Miyamoto liked the idea. Nintendo more than likly does what ever Miyamoto wants.

Miyamoto has been trying to make games his wife would play also. This and the other two Wii titles have came out because of that.

Why was it stupid? Miyamoto thought it was a good idea. So Nintendo which is only here because of Miyamoto made the game. The game will sell well. The game will more than likly be fun for the people the game is targetting. Which is not you. Not every game which comes out has to target the core gamers. I don't plan to buy it but I don't think any less of Nintendo for making a game which targets another market than me. That would be like me getting mad at Epic for only making shooters because I am not a big fan of shooters.

The game is made simple and easy to use because the group the game is targetting want simple easy to use games.

Yeah I did. There was nothing that interested me. So I should conclude they will never come out with anything that will interest me ever? Please.
