Really, that is all that current editions of Guitar Hero do too, right?
Granted, Wii Music will not "penalize" the player for "painting outside of the lines", but ad libbing and creating your own arrangement of the songs is one of the major points of Wii Music.

Mummelmann said: The lack of a score system also makes it kinda redundant for people who play games both for fun and for achievement.

Actually, there is a score system in Wii Music, although it still probably isn't exactly what you are after. When I created my first "music video", the game asked me to rate my own performance on a scale of 0 to 100. If I send the video to a friend, I'm not sure yet if he/she will rate my video, or will only be able to add a rating after adding his/her part to the video.
Also, when you play the mini games, you are rated on your performance. The system seems very similar to Wii Fit.
I think one of the biggest drawbacks about Wii Music (for "core" players, anyway) will be the song selection. All tunes are "muzak", with a very small selection of pop tunes, and then a larger list of classical and traditional songs. I suppose Nintendo's rationale of choosing only well-known melodies and songs without complex structures does make sense, but I still think it would be nice if in the future they offer DLC to add a wider variety of popular music.

Finally this game gets the covarage it deserves :)

Although i'd agree that this 'game' isn't for everyone, anyone calling this shovelware really mustn't understand much about games.

Are you that insecure that you care if others see you pantomiming a musical instrument?

 So like Mario Kart.  That's what I feel like doing to Nintendo since I have become so rubbish recently.

A quote from IGN's hands on

"I'm going to continue tooling around with the multiplayer modes, trading videos and more as I search in vain it seems for what is supposed to be so special about Wii Music. I have no doubt that it'll sell brilliantly, but as far as I can tell so far, this is a fluffy, pointless, borderline shovelware project from one of the greatest developers on the planet."

And they actually seem like they really tried to like it. Apparently, there is no hidden depth to the game at all.

Did you leave out the second part on purpose? You also use the shovel to bury them while they are unconcious.

 Can you create your own music or only modify the music included?

No, apparently Cassammassdfsda Matt has hated the game for months now. All you have to do is watch the Zelda video he made to see how much of a chance he's giving the game. He's either intentionally trying to make it look bad, or he's developing Parkinson's disease.
