From what I've read from the favorable crowd for Wii Music. It is a game that you can enjoy if you want to learn to make music and that you must have some musical talent to really get the most from it. I would expect a gaming site that was reviewing such a game for a general public that might not want to put that much effort into such a game that quite a few people in that mass audience wouldn't have the talent to find much enjoyment from to begin with and that they wouldn't want to invest the time to develop dormant music talents in, wouldn't rate such a game as a must purchase item for most people. It's like if a company made an accounting software program that would teach you how to be an accountant. Well, if you're reveiwing the program for a mainstream audience and knew that many of them didn't want to be CPA's, then would you review the program as something that everybody in that audience needs to rush out and enjoy?

The entire reviewing system is actually built this way. You do not review a game unless you have the talents and interests that the game requires. You never put a person completely devoid of gaming talent to review a game. The people reviewing sports games should always be interested in sports. Difficult shoot'em up games go to the hardcore shoot 'em up fans for reviewing. And so on and so on. And then we shouldn't do the same for Wii Music? Why?
It's a double standard. Either you review all games from what they set out to accomplish, or you review all games solely on your personal preference. Otherwise it's not for the consumers, it's for a certain demographic of consumers. Anyone outside this demographic is then deemed either too stupid or not interesting.
