Is Wii Music too hard for the core gamers?

so the difficulty lies in layering multiple instruments on top of each other?
I don't see what makes that so hard as opposed to unnecessarily intricate.
People do this stuff for a living btw.

 

I'm not sure what I can say that would make you see the connection between intricacy and challenge. I mean, I would think that would be kinda self-evident that a complex creation is harder to make than a simple one. An open question is harder to answer than a yes or no question, isn't it?

As for that last sentence, thanks captain obvious. I'm not sure what your point is. As I just posted, people also get paid for doing surgery. Some even make a living out of martial arts, shooting guns, and flying aircraft. Do you suppose any other in-game activities might be rooted in the real world?

Edit @ Goddog

I actually agree. The easily accessible parts of Wii Music are only a tiny slice of the content, and if that slice doesn't engage you, you aren't going to enjoy the really rewarding part of the game. Rock Band is far more accessible than Wii Music is (other than the price and space considerations of those peripherals), and that's going to hold Wii Music back.

You don't actually have to be musically inclined to enjoy the game, but you have to be open to learning more about music. Most people aren't going to enjoy a game which is half music lesson.
