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.

 

 

without an M-Audio box that seems impossible.. but yea.. Fruity Loops, Reason or anything like that or very accessible and can be easily downloaded or bought (even with a similar pricetag to a rockband). The amount of VSTi's available (virtual instruments) is ridiculous and many good ones are even free...

I don't own a Wii.. but when I heard the name Wii Music I was interested to see what it was all about... Truthfully I do this stuff all the time with the programs mentioned above.. I don't see a point in buying a game... And truthfully I don't understand why someone with the interest would want to chose the game route over the real one anyway...

 

I love Guitar Hero, because it just simulates something. If the game was making songs with a fake guitar or recreating songs with one, I'd rather just learn to play guitar.

I've seen the effects of rock band.. My friend never played an instrument in his life.. and got real good on expert at rock band drums to the point where he's buying a real drum set.. But Wii Music just doesn't seem to offer that kind of enjoyment... Maybe I'm wrong. But from a person that does production I don't see where the interest in this would be when there are better options available for those people, at slightly a higher price..

 

I don't remember Frequency being a hit either.
