I really could care less about music games, but this new one sounds bad ass

I don't think this will do well. Why would i want to wave my Wii remote in the air if i could actually PLAY an instrument? (as in GH3 or Rock Band)

IMO, Guitar Hero 3 or Rock Band is much more fun.
This game only has you waving the remote. That doesn't sound fun to me.

Erm, because those aren't instruments either, just custom controllers.

Personally, a rhythm game that doesn't require me to pay a premium for an extra lump of plastic to clutter up the house is a bonus for me.

okay but without the "plastic material" all you really have is a Wii remote
which means:
1. your imitating a Maraca using just the Wii remote
2. custom controllers ENHANCE the game experience
3. guitar hero and rock band are popular because of their "extra lumps of plastic"
4. Would you play GH3 or Rock Band with just the Wii Remote (dosn't sound like fun to me)

 Sure, I understand how people dig the immersion. It's the whole point behind force feedback, the Zapper, and (wait for it) the wiimote.

Doesn't change the fact that there's a finite amount of space available around my Wii, and that the sense of immersion costs about $20-50 dollars per person.

And yes, if I could get the gameplay of GH3 out of just my wiimote, that would work. You could probably do it with a four-button nunchuk replacement (much cheaper and smaller than a guitar) and use wiimote waggle for strumming. Actually, judging by my experience with Rock Band, I'd probably find the waggle easier to use, though the structure of the guitar would be missed for the button-pressing.
