That was impressive. (Be sure to skip to about the 4:30 mark.)

Come to think of it, this game engine would be a good fit for Jazz music.

I'm still not ready to eat any crow myself. Just like there was no reason for them not to include some sort of routine mode that pulls different exercises together in Wii Fit... there's absolutely no reason to make this entire game a create mode and that's it.

I guess I'm still bummed that I was expected a super deluxe version of band bros. and this is what we got instead.

People keep acting like it's so much better than it was at E3... it's really not... there have just been better presentations.

I will wait and see for the reveal of the full list of songs in the game because I want a lot of game music more than any of the other stuff. Of course more classical music is more than welcome too.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #185 on:** October 16, 2008, 02:56:28 PM »

Pale, everyone has already decided if they're going to love or hate Wii Music anyway. Perfect 10 scores won't convince the haters and lousy scores won't convince the lovers either.

In the end it kind of doesn't matter because anyone like myself who isn't interested in Wii Music seems to be totally into Guitar Hero: World Tour. There isn't a shortage of music related games this winter.

Music games are the new Tony Hawk games.

I was iffy about this game based on what I had seen before, but that video above really helps to market it all. It's now on my probable buy list, before it was far from it. I'm surprised.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #188 on:** October 16, 2008, 04:33:47 PM »

I am still undecided about the game. So impressions WILL impact me either way.

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/690178/Wii_Music_Track_List_Revealed.html

We have licensed music! John Lennon, Earth, Wind & Fire and Sting are just a couple of the artist on the list.

and lawl at the wrong artist and name on "Jitterbug"

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #190 on:** October 16, 2008, 06:04:45 PM »

Wow great selection.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #191 on:** October 16, 2008, 07:04:28 PM »

That list of licensed music would make a good "music with no balls" compilation.

14 licenced songs - the FIRST Guitar Hero had more than twice that. GH: World Tour and Rock Band 2 both crush that amount and they both have DLC.

Many of those songs are covers. The current Rock Band and Guitar Hero are now 100% master recordings.

What is Wii Music's target demo? It just seems like Guitar Hero for Creampuff Wimps. It's like Nintendo has been living in a cave for five years. Wii Music seems like it was designed to compete in the pre-Guitar Hero rythym game time period. It's like Miyamoto and Iwata are all "this is going to squash Space Channel 5 and DDR" all while being completely oblivious to the two HUGE American music game series. Maybe it's because Guitar Hero and Rock Band aren't available in Japan and NCL just doesn't understand how huge they are.

Donkey Konga all over again.

1up gave it an A-. wow.

i've begun to warm up to this game lately.

stop comparing it to Rock Band and Guitar Hero. It's like comparing Super Mario Galaxy to God of War.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #194 on:** October 16, 2008, 07:34:59 PM »

Ian STILL has no idea what Wii Music is? It's not even in the same genre as Guitar Hero (where DDR and SC5 and Donkey Konga would also fit). Much of the music are covers anyway because they will intentionally sound DIFFERENT when interacted with, unlike the rest of the "push the correct button" genre. In the typical music games, you take in the music as-is (or, you avoid failure so the original track stays intact). In Wii Music, you bring out something new (a twist, from a vast but controlled range of twisting) from yourself.

It's entertainment software for non-musicians (ie music toy). DIGEST THAT. Trying to pin a demographic to it is missing the point.

And everyone can keep comparing Rock Band to Guitar Hero. They're still colors and buttons as usual.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #195 on:** October 16, 2008, 07:38:10 PM »

But wait-a-minute, a non-game on a non-console got a high score from a hardcore media outlet?

Non-games are supposed to score poorly and sell well! The sales are destined to bomb then!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #196 on:** October 16, 2008, 07:41:15 PM »

Pro nailed it with his first point.

Oh Pro you crack me up.

Monteblanco · « **Reply #197 on:** October 16, 2008, 07:47:05 PM »

Wii Music songs aren't covers. They are synthesised as the game will fill the appropriate notes at any inputs given by the player. As such, Wii Music behaves as a real instrument, though a very easy to play one. This is very different from rhythm games, such as Guitar Hero, where, don't matter how good you are in the game, the music will sound the same, regardless of your score. In fact, Wii Music don't need scores as it is up to you to evaluate how well you're playing.

Perhaps because I have some familiarity with music, I never had any interest in rhythm games, such as Guitar Hero. Wii Music seems to be the one of the few music games available and thus I am not surprised many people don't get it. I look forward to see if it will be any good.

That's funny cuz from my understanding Ian is fuhmillyar with musak, yet he appears to not get it.

I'm no musician but I do have some desire to follow and understand (ie enjoy) music at some core creative level.
