@Kyros: It's nice to see you don't even understand what karaoke is about.
Karaoke is about people wanting to sing. The people may not know how to keep in rhythm, or know the words properly or even can't sing the right melody. Karoke gives you the words and the melody to sing and if we take Singstar into observation, it takes this a step further, it shows you when to go up or down in the melody.
This is the excact same idea Wii Music bases itself, but instead of singing, it's about playing.
The reviews are understandable, since if you don't have prior experience with music, it's really hard to come out with anything but noise. But, if you take the lessons and practise a little, you'll soon get a grip.
Funny you mentioned the drumset, if you have a balance board, you'll have a complete drumset that is like playing real drums (unlike the Rockband set).
@Esa-Petteri: More likely explanation is, that Wii Music offers much more replay value.
@Topic: Just popped into my mind, that Wii Music is showing the problem with games in general, only this time reviewers as an example. Since Wii Music requires some practise to master the game, when the reviewers just want to pick the game up and play, they actually have set theirselves into the position of a traditional non-gamer, who could be interested in games, if the games were easy to pick up, instead of going through tutorials and the proper use of analog stick and complex button combinations. Hahaha.
