Guys, this isn't senseless bashing, so you can say what you want.
The game is pointless!
This is coming from a dedicated Nintendo fan, a musician, and someone who would really enjoy these two ideas coming together.
Guitar hero is a fun game, but some people feel it's limiting the genre because you're just pressing buttons to recreate someone else's song. The next logical step is to give you creative control - the ability to create your own music.
Now what we have here is a game where the key is programmed in, and you just wave the controller around and it plays random notes that are in the same key.
This isn't a game, it's not fun, you're not doing anything with any sense of accomplishment or anything! Just aimless waving.
It surely isn't music! Anyone who's a musician knows that there is much more to music then just randomly playing notes in whatever key you are in. The only thing they give you control over is the rhythm, and even that seems shoddy, the controls seem loose, and with something like music you need to be very precise.
The drum set just sounds terrible as well, maybe it was the drummer, but any sort of percussion device needs to be extremely accurate, or else it just sounds like crap.
I'm sorry, I'm not out here to just bash the next "casual Nintendo game." I'm just pointing out that this game is horrible and has absolutely no appeal to me.
