In Mii Freestyle, two players can select their own Miis and jam locally with half a dozen different beats and themes in the game, and use the controllers to literally "jam" together with no needed song progression, scrolling notes, or danger of failing. You simply pick a theme (which will dictate the tempo), grab an instrument, and go, jamming on the instruments however you want, with your Miis rocking out on stage.

 

 Sounds a lot like Wii Music.

Guitar Hero: World Tour is a sellout to the casuals and will bomb.

 

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but GH:WT has all the features of the PS3 and 360 versions plus Mii Freestyle mode.

 

It was sarcasm. I find it amusing that when Wii Music implements this game mode, the reaction is horror and disgust. When Guitar Hero does it, it becomes a very fun addition.

Yes, GH: WT has other modes, but I'm pretty sure Wii Music will also. GH: WT also has expensive, space-consuming, and immersive controllers, while Wii Music features more instruments, but with lower cost and immersion.

I'm not arguing whether one is superior to the other or not. Wii Music is still very much an unknown (I blame Nintendo's paranoid, antisocial marketing strategy). But I do think that both will have their own merits depending on what a particular consumer values. By confirming that this mode can be very fun, these articles suggest that Wii Music will also be a lot of fun.
