This is my first Amazon review, after reading alot about Wii Music - and reading the reviews on here, I felt compelled to post my thoughts.This game is nothing like Guitar Hero/Rock Band, so best to put those thoughts aside immediately.What it is, is more musically challenging. At its core, GH/RB are just pressing a button that corresponds to a note on the screen. If you dont press it, you start to fail = no creativity.With Wii Music, you CAN get different notes out of the instruments, by practice and experimentation.Basically, when you play the 'Custom Jam' mode (1-4 simultaneous players), after selecting your instrument part (from a choice of 60), you then start to play your part of the song in the band.You can play by 'ear', or by pressing the - key, you get a note chart. This note chart is a key feature, especially for the beginners. If you 'play' your instrument when the note chart indicates, you will get the right note for that time in the song and carry on doing so will see you complete the song as intended.Doing this is hard enough at first (each song is graded 1-3 stars in difficulty) and it can be a bit frustrating as mis-timed notes begin to sound like a real-mismash of noise.Stick with it though and you'll be completing the songs fine.Now you can start to customise the song to YOUR style and begin the creative process. For example, if playing the guitar part and 1 note is coming up, by holding DOWN on the d-pad, you can enable quick strumming, so 1 note becomes 10 - 5 notes before and 5 after the 'charted' note. The game will then pick the right notes and pitch etc for that part of the song.Other examples are holding 'c' to play a chord instead of a note, 'z' to palm-mute notes etc etc. So by using combinations of all these controls, you really begin to add your own style. More skilful players can slightly (and deliberately) mis-time their notes to pick out another note from the song.On top of all that, you can adjust the timing of the song - so perhaps miss notes out (deliberately) to produce a different sound. The 4 bouncing 'be-bops' in the corner of the screen help you keep time and also to indicate what section of the song is coming up (melody, solo etc).When you have completed one instrument in the song, you can go back over the song with a new instrument and so on, until you have filled all 6 parts of the song.It truly is quite deep - much deeper than what you may think before playing it.The drum mode is actually very good too and feels quite authentic. Its not 1:1 controls and you do need to use buttons on the controllers as well as waving the sticks, but you do get a good sensation of actual drumming and the wealth of lessons provided help a complete novice such as I, to get a good idea of rhythm and timing. This is a mode I will practice over and over.I've rambled enough, but hopefully that will give people a different opinion. Dont take this game on face value of 'oh its just waving the sticks around and you dont really play anything'. Its deep, fun and educational - and well worth getting!

I bought this game in time for two family Christmas parties and it generated hours of fun beyond our expectations: our guests were absorbed by it all afternoon.The Open Orchestra and Handbell Harmony games are fantastic interactive party games and worth 4 stars alone (but note that the latter really does need 4 controllers + 4 nunchucks to get the best from it). We found the level of difficulty just right for a family of 10 ranging from 7 to 70 with lots of scope for increasing the challenge for the more talented/experienced. Also, it's worth noting it is not overly competitive: the collaboration elements worked very well in a mixed family group.Playing alone I found a lot of the subtletydescribed in some of the other more considered reviews and this will ensure I keep coming back to it in the coming weeks.Despite the fun, I withheld the fifth star for the following reasons:i) the jam sessions which form the main body of the game are too challenging for impromptu parties - you really do need to take the tutorials before you can get the best from them, otherwise they tend to descend into audio-mush.ii) not enough tunes, at least not until you've progressed further to unlock them.Despite these two minor gripes it really is a very imaginative and well-executed game.

I'm not going to talk much about the use of the instruments, because that has been talked to death. Basically, you wave your arms around as if you were playing them. It's amazingly clever and very fun.My gripe with it is there are few tracks that you can actually play. For example, conductiong an orchestra is fun, but htere are only 5 songs to conduct! There are lots of instruments to play, and quite a few tracks to play them to, but it does take a while for them to become unlocked, so if you just want to sit down and play "Wake me up before you go go" (did I mention they're not very modern either?), then you've another thing coming.Also, the Nintendo WiFi & Touch Generation aspect - I expected that you could play your instrument in your home,and play with a friend at their home elsewhere. Alas, you cannot. The only thing the internet connection does is allow you to share videos, which isn't very exciting.Good, but could be better.Still, the I recommend the game whole-heartedly.

I have to say, this is not the sort of game that would appeal to everyone but bought this for my youngest. Her and her big sister have not put it down! They spend hours 'jamming' I think if I hear 'jingle bell rock' one more time I'm going to go insane!!There has a lot to do in it like having lessons on a variety of instruments, playing mini games that are really quite hilarious to watch and jamming using the mii characters you have created. Also once you have made your music the way you like it you can design your own CD cover and keep it in the wii for later viewing or as mine do show off to anyone who walks through the front door while they are playing!A great game for younger children andtheir daft parents.There is a couple of the mini games that would be fun to play at parties or family gatherings.Enjoy, just don't take it too seriously its just a fun thing. Although a few of the tunes begin to grate after the millionth play through.

wii music is an excellent game. yes it might be for some people who cant afford GHWT (me included) but it makes an excellent substitute. superb multiplayer fun, loads of instruments and songs, conduct your own orchestra, test yourself for if you are pitch perfect, make your own version of a song and send it to your friends!This all sounds amazing and indeed it is but there is a reason why i haven't given it 5 stars. all you do is press about 3 buttons and make actions, the way you press them doesn't make a difference to the sound, it is only the timing of the action that determines that. it feels...limited. If i could choose, i would pick guitar hero (i own GH3) every time,nevertheless a must buy for all amateur gamers (hardcore gamers stay away. all in all...BUY BUY BUY!

Wii Music is a game that should be approached with extreme caution. The game is well worth your money, but it really comes down to what you are interested in.For example, I wouldnt recommend this to anyone who is thinking of creating a brand new masterpeice of music, because , simply, you cant do this. The game does not let you change the notes...just WHEN you play them, allowing you only to create your own take on a song.Thats said you can come up with a pretty original take on a song such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" by changing the tempo and genre.So in all, buy this if you cant play an instrument and what to let your feelings be expressed through music,just dont expect to create your own original masterpeice.

This game basically allows you to jam along with well known tunes which your choise from a selection of instruments.First time you follow a character who guides you though how to play various musical instruments.This game requires at least one Wii Controller and Nunchuck, and supports upto 4 controllers, the Wii-fit board is optional as it is used for some of the drum routines.It is not quite a music creation program. Both my wife and I enjoyed the Jam sessions, seeing how much 'noise' we can create !As you progress like many other Wii games, more options become available, in this case more instruments and more tunes.

when i first got this i was suprised, it was very good and i couldnt get off of it. The graphics are good on the videos and the instrumens sound very similar to the real ones. I started off by playing a few instruments and i did a lesson. atfer i did the lesson on the piano and trumpet i recorded video of my own. it sounded great and after it aksed me to do another lesson, so i did and it was telling me how to actually create my own video. i was very excuted.i have had it for about a year now and i am still happy about it.overall anyone who is going to buy this game, is going to be very pleased :)

This a first class game, demonstrating the brillance of the Nintendo Wii. The aim of the game is to play music as part of a band of up to six instruments. You can stick to the notes if you want or you can do your own thing. It is great fun playing the different sorts of instruments, especially with friends. The best bit is when you make you're own version of a song playing each part one at a time and then putting them together abd watching it all back with a video starring your Miis!This is great fun!

I love Wii Music. You can play together with up to four people, or solo. It's a great party game - for any age. It's also possible to create a really dreadful racket with it! While it cannot teach you much in the way of musical talent, it is good for rhythm. There are lots of games to choose from, including quizzes, handbells, and drumming lessons (requires balance board). And there are 50 different songs to play in jam sessions.I really recommend this game. Everyone I introduced it to has LOVED it.

22.4.2009

This product is fantastic! the best part is the drums - you can learn to play a 5 piece without having that vital space taken up by a real drumset but you do need the balance baord to take full advantage of this facility- Apart from the drums it's really aimed at younger children and my 3 year old has lots of fun on it. It's not to complicated for the youngsters to learn and a good introduction to the concepts of timing and pitch etc.

I bought this for my 14 year old daughter who loves music and I am absolutely hooked - the handbells are sooooooo addictive! Having 2 Wii remotes and nunchucks is best as you can play against each other. Being the conductor in an orchestra is fun as you have your own Miis playing the instruments - such a good laugh. I would totally recommend this game - have been playing it since Christmas and laugh all the time!

4.1.2009

It's a brilliant game, it's fun to play with others on it because it'll be a great laugh. Whether you are a composer or you haven't seen a pianoin your life you will love this game either way! It's also good on your own because you can make your own video or take a private lesson, or jam, or conduct an orchestra or many other things. All in all a great game.

3.1.2012

This is a great game!I've been playing it non stop since I got it. best wii game I ever got you can play loads of lifelike instruments that are really lifelike and cool , like for playing the trumpet it feels just like playing one. I would probably pay £30 for this easy but for a fiver this game was money well spent makes a great gift!!!!

25.4.2009

Great fun for all the family but I think I am too old for it! I can't seem to get the hang of the instruments but the kids love it and seem to know what they're doing! Its good to all play together in a band and try to keep the rhythm going, you can create album covers and playback your tracks, another great game from Wii
