I would just like to take the time to congratulate Wii Music and Nintendo, for thinking outside of the box.

Aside from praising them for selling a million copies...I have to ask, why are you praising them for "thinking outside the box" with this game? Wii Music is doing nothing more than what Rock Band did last year...even less actually. At least RB is interactive. With Wii Music, you're still pretty much using an air guitar or air drums

Oh child.

Oh my sweet, ignorant little child.

 

I weep for thy ignorance, and pray that it is rectified someday.

 

What? There's no ignorance in what I said

There's the gameplay. Drop that Wiimote and Nunchuk and you doing the same thing you were doing when you were 5. At least something like Guitar Hero takes some hand eye coordination.  Try and prove the video evidence wrong...please and thank you.

If you tell me that vibrating the nunchuk up and down is more innovative, or at least in your sense, makes my statement "ignorant", than actually matching fast paced notes on screen (which in actuality, learning guitar is VERY similar because instead of notes on a screen, you have tabs on a piece of paper), then...well, there's nothing more to say. I'll give up

 

No no no, you silly little boy! You see only what you want to see, and thus understand nothing. :-/

Guitar Hero may need hand-eye coordination. Wii Music also needs hand-eye coordination, and something more beside: musical taste, and originality. You're not playing a glorified (albeit fun!) game of Simon Says; you're rearranging music in real time with the instruments of your choice. It's something no game has ever allowed before, something no other developer has so far envisioned. Is that not originality?

But please, don't take my word for it. Play it yourself.

Or, continue with your willful ignorance. From the posts you've written so far, I can safely say that your opinion has ceased to matter a long while ago. I just take some pleasure in pointing out your silliness and foolishness. It's fun!

Nah, I think I'll pass. I'll just continue waggling my hands in the air in the motion of instruments, and imagine musical notes in my head.....that way I don't have to waste $50

All Wii Music has done was given that example a physical form (the Wiimote). I don't care that it sold 1 million. Great for it. But don't say I'm ignorant for pointing out the obvious. You put the wiimote and the nunchuk in the position you'd hold a guitar, then you waggle thus replicating guitar notes. You put it up to your face and push buttons, thus replicating a harmonica. You waggle both ridiculously, thus replicating drums.....tell me how that is any different than doing so without the controllers in hand and the Wii turned on the TV screen. In reality, I'm playing Wii Music right now, because I'm playing air guitar right now....the sounds are in my imagination, but I'm still going through the motions.

How about this, look at the video again, and turn the volume down....look familiar to something you were doing when you were a kid?

As for regards to it selling because in reality it's really good, despite reviews....I guess Mario and Sonic is game of the century because despite getting a 67 on metacritic, between the Wii and DS, it's sold over 9.5 million copies
