Just when you thought the Nintendo Wii couldn’t go wrong, it just did. What was touted as the game that could possibly out beat the raves about everyone’s favorite, Guitar Hero, Wii Music flopped a big one. Guitar Hero and Rock Band both rock the Wii Music out of its socks. Event their satellite games have more hype surrounding them than the Wii Music has for it’s huge debut!
Why does Wii Music suck?
Oh let me count the ways…
- WII MUSIC SONGS - It’s cool that they broke the genre of only having rock songs but selections such as “Twinke Twinkle Little Star” and “Oh My Darling, Clementine?” Wii Music had potential to reach a broader audience, however, those kinds of song selections appeal to only 5 year olds learning their “ABC’s” which reminds me, they should add that to their set list as well…
Also, the songs are rendered very poorly and the renditions are far from the best… Beethovans - DOWNLOADING SONGS - With Wii Music, you can’t! Yup, that means you’re stuck with playing “Happy Birthday” over and over again!
- GAMEPLAY - Too easy and once you get familiar with the songs on the disc, there’s nothing else for you to do!
What did Wii Music get right?
This game lets you play a butt load of cool instruments including familiar ones like the violin, clarinet, trumpet, harp, piano, and guitar. Then there are more unique instruments that you can play like cowbells, shamisens, sitars, marimbas and maracas. Then there are “instruments” that are off the walls like dog and cat sounds, vocals, kung fu, and cheerleader sounds. Yeah, lot’s of variety there. I guess when you’re playing “Twinkle Twinkle” over and over again, you can just play it in a different instrument.
My Recommendation
Stick to the proven. Guitar Hero is the way to go!
