Enthusiast gamers do not want Wii Music to succeed. It stands as an insult to all that the long-time customers of the industry have come to accept as the norm: it's immediately accessible, it has no inherent ties to gameplay in the usual sense of the term, the difficulty is based on natural human traits like balance and sense of rhythm instead of reflexes and rote memorization, and it has no scoring system to speak of; you're the one who decides how good or bad you are, not the game. It is, in short, the embodiment of everything that the Wii series has been aspiring to be thus far.
To sum it up, of course review sites are going to be slamming it. Guess who runs them? The very sorts of people who don't want Wii Music to succeed, of course.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
