Thats reall low, but it wont surprise me if it sells really well.

 

you point of view is the majority kid. and it is a very good point of view by the way

Would you honestly buy this game over rock band 2 or guitar hero world tour? The only people who are going to purchase this game are fanboys, like people did with Haze

 

I'm probably not going to buy this game, but Wii Music attempts to capture the feeling of creative expression through music which is something that Rock Band and Guitar Hero will never be (particularly) successful with.

Anyways ...

Since I haven't heard a well thought out (logical) reason why Wii Music has received so much hatred I started to think about what was so problematic about Wii Music that offends so many people. What I have come up with is that there are no false pretences to get you to engage in something which is not enjoyable on its own, the only reward for playing Wii Music is to play Wii Music.

This is such an unconventional idea, and it begs the question of whether it is a worse idea to have a videogame where there is no reward beyond playing the game (Wii Music) or a videogame that makes you engage in hours of repetitive and un-enjoyable actions in order to reward you with a pointless cut-scene or advancement in the game.

 

There was a thread about that on GT I think or was it IGn hmm not sure but the most didn't like it because they thought Nintendo will spend more time on making games like Wii Fit, Wii music and less time in new (hardcore) games.
