ah, 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

You're making a fool of yourself. You obviously don't understand the game in the least and have made up your mind about it because you want to hate it for some reason.

Saying that playing Wii Music is like playing air guitar is meaningless, I could say that Gears of War 2 is nothing more than me holding a stick and pretending to shoot some guy in the head. In fact, I'm doing that right now since I am imagining it in my head.

In the real world however, Wii music offers a much deeper music experience than any other game in the market right now. To use the guitar as an example, using the various types of input you can play the guitar just with straight notes, or you can play muted notes, you may play chords, or muted chords, you can add pitch bending and vibrato, you can even do double picking. All these different teqhniques gives creative possibility that a game like guitar hero doesn't come close to offering. And this is for the guitar alone, there are tons of other instruments that I don't even have the first clue yet about how to play well.

If you want to hate the game, fine, go ahead, I am sure it makes you feel serious and manly, but don't run your mouth about the game when you know absolutely nothing about it.
