Unless you've played this game, you have no place calling this game bad. And even those that HAVE played it haven't played the whole thing, all of the instruments, or the final build, so you can't judge it yet.

I doubt it's going to be incredibly deep either, but seriously. You guys have been bashing this thing from day 1 and you haven't even seen it in action.

Also, by what I can tell, you most certainly CAN make music, if you just learn the buttons and motions properly.

poor guy... he's lost the plot

I'd be inclined to agree if it weren't for Mario Galaxy last year. He's still got the magic, it's just that nowadays it seems to be going to waste.

I think we have seen more than we need to. At least its badness is funny.

@Kyros: Watch out, you'll run out of arguments soon.

Let's look at the drums in Rockband, if i recall, Rockband drums have 2 drums, when Wii Music drumset is complete set. Which one resembles more playing real drums? As far as i know, Rockband drums are as much drums as DK Bongos. Also the Rockband drums are "mini" drums, while Wii Music drums are in real size (they can be minisized too if you like).

And the guitar, look how you play the electric guitar in Wii Music and you play it in Guitar Hero/Rockband and then tell me, which is more like playing a real guitar. Besides, Wii Music has the "high grip" in the guitar, like a real one.

I used Guitar Hero as an example, because it's the best selling franchise in music games and i'm personally somewhat familiar with it.

So far what i've seen, Wii Music looks polished. There have been put quite a lot of effort into the controls. Of course, i can't say how successful it is in the end, but so far what i've seen, Wii Music seems to be the best music game we've seen.

Oh, and what Guitar Hero (and apparently Rockband) is offering as a feedback, is "good, bad, miss".

@OkeyDokey: Well, that describes Guitar Hero pretty well. Or if you want to go strictly by the definition you gave, we don't have any "button mashers".

You can play the songs however you like in Guitar Hero and Wii Music, in Guitar Hero you get a score from your timing, without having any control over what you play, when Wii Music gives you the control, but no score.

I seriously hope you're joking about the part directed at Kyros, If not, please stop for your own sake.

And actually yes, there are plenty of button mashers by my definition (which is the correct definition btw). I'm not even going to bother explaining it because frankly, you have 2.5k posts on a gaming forum. You should know by now what a button masher is.

@OkeyDokey: No, i wasn't joking.
Even the button mashers require some sort of skill and timing for your mashing and even in the worst case scenario, skill is taking you further anyway, than just random button mashing.

What i find funny in the threads about Wii Music is, that everytime people are telling how much Wii Music sucks in relation to Guitar Hero etc., because how well Guitar Hero resembles playing a real guitar etc.
Guitar Hero and playing a guitar have nothing in common. The most retarded idea for music game i've ever seen, is Guitar Hero. It could have been "Buzz Guitar" or "Pad Hero" aswell, but it certainly isn' Guitar Hero.

You should better. Arguing that Wii Music gives you a complete drum set or a real guitar implies that you have drunk more Nintendo kool-aid than is good for you.
Wii Music gives you nothing but two small white pieces of plastic. The question is how far you can get with that and apparently not very far when you look at the videos.

Hmmm... it seems that a role model had fallen today :P

@ Hairy guy
How can you say Guitar Hero is nothing like playing a real Guitar and then say that Wii Music is?

Right now, I think you're just trying rile people up by saying incredibly stupid things.
