Dude, if you've only played it briefly, then you have no idea how it tests your skill. Boxing alone is a workout with a fair amount of timing and reaction needed. Golf takes some serious sensitivity and thought, same with bowling. Baseball takes a lot of timing, and tennis, while it only takes some basic timing for the actual game, the training games for everything are seriously intense.

This is part of what comes with having a WIDE audience for a game, the main part is going to be easy enough for less skilled players to still get somethign out of. If you want your games to be challenging, try actually taking 10 minutes to LOOK for that challenge.

I've never seen a Singstar thread in my entire time on this site so my comments would never of been seen about it.  And Singstar is nothing like wii music, it falls more in line with a karaoke machine then anything else.   And i don't see a problem with singing, and there are singing games on all the systems similar to Singstar.  But if Sony or Microsoft made a game at all similar to wii music then you would hear my opinions about it.  I've also watched about 20 wii music videos so i know what the game is about.

If you people are really against Wii music. Here's a tip.

Don't talk about it or give it attention.

Seriously exactly like what happened with Wii fit. Most people who didn't like or want the game kept moaning and complaining till the point it got everyone constantly looking up the game and updating there forums over it.

Also game reviews hardly reflect the outcome of a game sales. We should all know that by now.

Wii music existence offends me.

Wow. I was thinking that if something like this were to come to the PS3, we'd be constantly hearing:

PS3 "Jam" is going to be HUGE.

Since E3 that's all I've been thinking. A bloody level editor is going to be considered a full fledged game when meeting daily challenges in a simulator that win/lose factor affects even real life isn't.

But everyone is entitled to thier opinions.

People who regular post on video game boards, that is really the target audience of Wii Music.

Not surprised most people bash it here, what only a few thousand people come here, while millions will buy this. I could see people not liking a game, I don't like many games but people are taking hating to this game to extremes. Also games aren't what you define it as, games already have a definition and people will be entertained by this.

I don't want to buy this but don't have any reason to bash it and will play someone else's copy.

this was the vid that completed my "changed mind"ism.. if i had a bigger interest in music, i'd get this game - i still might if/when it comes to a slightly lower price range

Both these videos, show the potential of wii-music. On the first music, we see IGN playing the legend of zelda song HORRENDOUSLY. You can literally just listen to them waggle the wii-mote constantly in some notes, not keeping in tune with the beat or rythum of the song. They almost sound more interested in getting the worst quality video out possible to quite frankly, justify their reviews. Which honestly, I cannot trust since they gave GTA4 perfect reviews when the game is very CLEARLY flawed. (My problems came mostly with online)

The 2nd video, JC Rodrigo really takes super mario brothers and plays it great. He puts his own twist on it and properly demostrates that this game is more creative than mashing buttons or hitting pads on plastic replicas of drums and guitars in order to pretend your playing a song someone else made.

That creativity aspect on its own is enough to give this game for me a 8/10. Just to be able to take something and change it to fit my style better.

Edit - I'm just gonna throw it out here, but wouldn't it been more fair of IGN to put up a video of them actually playing the song well as a comparison video? We got two videos, one of them butching legend of zelda, and a poor video of matt playing La Bomba. It doesn't even feel like they are trying. I'm sick of IGN's biased opinion.

Besides, Catsuit, Dogsuit and CHEERLEADER? Comonnn!!
