Wii Music

By Vernon Southward

Wii Music has received a lot of advertisement from Nintendo. This may be normal for most companies but Nintendo doesn't tend to advertise much at all. If you ask me it's because the type of people who see ads in newspapers, flyers, and on primetime television are the type of people they want to buy this game and the only type that will probably appreciate this game. That group consists of kids under 9, adults with kids under 9, kids under 12 who like music, and adults who have no idea what Guitar Hero is or think it's too complicated. Wii Music is simple and yet overly complicated. It has nothing to do and yet there is everything to do. Doesn't make any sense right? Well neither does the game.

There are basically no goals. Your actual interaction with the song itself borders on pointless and pretty much all you do is make the song sound worse than you've ever heard by using completely random and often inappropriate instruments. Instruments which, while simple, are far too difficult to control properly. Nintendo really tried to do something great and different but they were so focused on the different part they didn't manage to get the great part down. One of the most outrageously terrible things about the game is the soundtrack. There are obviously men in too tight suits at Nintendo who do nothing but complain about the budgets regardless of the absurdly large amount of profit they've made over the past few years.

Why does this affect the game you ask? Many of the songs are those free "so old no one owns them" songs, many are also songs that toddlers listen to. I know the game was made with a younger audience in mind but when you have songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in your game you've gone on a path that leads to nothing but boredom. I know many kids that are more than happy with Guitar Hero's music selection. They may be kids but they like what adults like for the most part (after the age of 4 or so anyway). So instead of collecting all of the fantastic songs (there are a few in there) from Nintendo's games over the years which are generally much loved by EVERYONE who hears them, instead we get some stale "adult" songs and some insufferable children's songs. If you have young kids and some money to throw around get it, but it isn't highly recommended.
