GI: "Finally, Nintendo has seen fit to deliver us from the horrors of Guitar Hero and Rock Band's intuitive gameplay, accurate mechanics, and great song selections. Thank God. Now I can stop pretending that I was having fun rocking out to Metallica and live my dream of playing backup cowbell in a cruise ship band version of "Yankee Doodle."
Yes, folks, Wii Music is here. Here are the basics (and believe me, it's all basics): You select a song and one of dozens of instruments. Then, you and up to three friends can waggle your remotes and press buttons in time, and begin creating what can only be described as a god-awful racket. The notes are automatically generated, but do change in pitch along to the prescribed melody (and slightly altered by holding down buttons at random). In addition…well, no that's pretty much it, actually. You can save these performances for posterity, but haven't we suffered enough already?"

NLife:
As tradition mandates every year, I sat watching the Nintendo's 2008 E3 presentation with high hopes of a new F-Zero being finally announced. As the presentation moved along, Cammie Dunnaway kept pushing products that were clearly not targeted at me and my generation of core gamers, bought up in the mean streets of 8- and 16-Bits. No harm there, since Nintendo's and the late great Satoru Iwata's new vision of "games for everyone" meant that there was a whole new audience to whom Nintendo had to push product presentations. I understood that, and was feeling positive because surely there had to be some sort of killer app being shown at the end of the presentation, right?
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I began noticing (from time to time) patterns in the way music is used within games. The following short list of game soundtrack stereotypes and patterns are by no means the result of a scientific process, but I do think it would be interesting to dip the metaphorical toe in the water and start this discussion!
I was expecting an article about the entire industry. This is sort of the norm for these types of games though.
lol Sorry Miyamoto but Wii Music is a wreck
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
I didn't think that kinda score was possible to get from Game informer. To top it all off this game even scored worst then rock revolution did!

guitar hero rock band killer confirmed :)
Guys...this is Game Informer...in case no one noticed, these guys hate everything about Nintendo and I don't think they actually play the Nintendo games they get.
Brawl got a lower score for not including Mega Man and for having clone characters like Ike and Marth.
Galaxy got a lower score for including Bowser Jr.
Personally, I think most of us here are better gamers than the guys at Game Informer, after all, they couldn't get the Wii wheel to work in Mario Kart and called the Nunchuck combo "unresponsive" in Brawl.
They also started the claim that Lucasarts was angry about the Wii Motion plus not being announced til E3, when Krome Studios has personally said that they did know and didn't want to wait to release the Force Unleashed or Lightsaber Duels, especially since they felt it didn't need it.
Being someone who has played Wii Music, I have no idea what they are talking about. The controls are totally responsive to about everything...maybe they still haven't figured out how to hold the Wii mote, or perhaps they are trying to play it on their 360.
Either way, these guys are probably the worst site to get any Nintendo information.
