  • Kids? Kids shouldnt even HAVE a wii. >.> KIDS should be living their childhood, not stuck inside playing video games all day and night... (Like me... <3)

  • YOU ARE NOT IGN SO STOP PRETENDING TO BE YOU FUCKING DUMBASS

  • This game was good... it was meant to be played with FAMILY and Friends not as a stand alone game !!

  • You suck. This game is win.

  • My advice is to watch a few of Tirelat's Wii Music videos. Go ahead. Sit down for an hour and I promise you'll be amazed.

    This is a far richer and more complex game that it first appears. There is a tremendous amount of freedom to create, and yet you can easily play along to the songs. I can appreciate Miyamoto's agenda here.

    The song selection should be stronger, and that's a fair criticism. Nintendo would be wise to add music-themed packs - a classical pack, a jazz pack, an NES/SNES pack.

  • This game is only good if you have freinds

  • good review, tho i disagree sum, but good things 2 know

  • this games is lot of fun u dont need but can use the balance board

  • Are you high this game is great.

    and you don't NEED to use the balance board

  • shadowluigi1111:

    he was just telling the truth! he said what he dident like about the game and they where a resoanable things. he dident say the game was horrible and did highlight some good parts to it!

  • The Wii doesn't suck! Don't judge a system by a bad game. Stupid ass fanboy!

  • To be fair, it also has the virtual console, the homebrew channel, and the internet channel.

  • you probably sit at home all day, playing these games and consoles, and you dont have a girlfriend. They're both good consoles, my brother has them both, so shut the f*ck up

  • You sad cunt, I'm am a married man with a daughter. You little child, who has no life replying to comments over 4 months old. LOSER, SAD FUCKING FAGGOT, CHILD!!!! GET A LIFE!!!

  • dude, screw you, dont start crap that you knows gonna get some bad comments.

  • Oh yeah, and fuck you for saying I asked for your childrens pictures. You probably lock them in a basement and take nude pics to send to all your perv friends. you, sir, can go get butt raped in jail, and fry in hell

  • cunt

  • Comment removed

  • even tho youre bad at playing the tuba, we ain't saying you suck

  • And the douchebag award goes to...

  • you, obviously :)

  • I should have seen that one coming.

  • dont worry :P its not personal XD

  • Has the reviewer ever played a real drum set? Wii Music doesn't seem to be much diffrent other then just getting used to it.

  • Dude WTF you forgot to review the best part of the game, drums freeplay , and it's not REALLY hard, you just have to get used to it

  • Where's handbell harmony?

  • lol @ all the mii's in the orchestra!!

  • this review is way better than GT's review

  • Can you save the videos to an SD card?

  • I think it would have been cool if they included a music maker. That way players could compose an original song and arrange it however they please. Then this game might actually be worth the 50 dollars.

  • how do you get to the free play of the drums like in the video like when you are just playing yourself playing the drums and you only see your hands and stuff how do you get there???

  • it only can be played if you have the wii balace board conected to the wii

  • when u r in free play mode on the drums press the " - " key on the remote and that will cum up

  • nintendo needs to make games and they need to make them good and they need to make more otherwise I'm going sony next-gen with ps4........ I'd rather nintendo didn't make this game and give us nothing then see this at gamestop on the same shelf that I'm looking at for games cause it makes me feel like an asshole........ ppl most think I like dumbass games like this cause I picked it off the same shelf as smash bros brawl........

  • What games are for the PS3 that aren't for the Xbox?

  • killzone 2, unchated drakes fortune and soon uncharted 2, grand turismo prologue and soon gt5, little big planet, metal gear solid 4, resistance 1 and 2, motostorm 1 and 2, demon souls coming soon; hard rain, god of war 3, the last guardian (by team ico who made shadow of collosus) and MAG a 256 player online fps. Plus blu-ray movies!

  • I don't know about the others, but I know God of War, Little Big Planet, and Blu-Ray are pretty good reasons to get a PS3.

    Together, of course, not alone.

  • Ratchet and Clank Future!

  • What Mikey said

  • fat princess, trine, most PSOne, now most PS2 (SELL UR PS2 and PSOne) zombie apocalypse, elephunk... and aLOT more

  • this kinda game pisses me off when we could have had maybe one of nintedo's O-K signature like f-zero or kirby or a real donkey kong game witch I haven't seen in a millennium or fuck I could even imagine a Ice climbers game being better then this or actually on the level of ok considering how well they done with mario galaxy and platform games period.........

  • i agree, i was expecting a Pokemon theme in the selection too

  • This is definatly a game for casual gamers but meh even tho im hardcore i kinda like it.

    and i dont have the board so i dont know WTH theyre talkin about with complicated drums.

  • lol you hardcore! you just gone casual since you picked this shit up. go burn your ps3 or 360 now. 360s and ps3s are not for casual gamers

  • No dumbass im just more way hardcore than casual -_- and besides i dont have a PS3 or 360 so STFU.

  • if u h8 this game whyd u buy it or rent it faggot lawl ownd

  • Another question.. wich version are you reviewing? the promotional version or the real deal?

  • god my mom got this for my sis........i hate it. i got Rockband 3 for the PS3 and wii music is like the atari vers for it

  • So sad that they wasted 100% of the potential of this game.

  • the one issue i have with this game is not only the fact that the songs suck, but the fact that you can't create your own songs.you can't even download any songs, not even for money. i love nintendo, but they always make a bunch of half-done games that they always could have done so much better on.

  • Can you at least jam with the insturments, not recording your own song but just messing around with it?

  • i hav it i dont think so. yes, u can mess aroiund though.

  • This is sad.

    Ign is so unappreciative.

  • whats the rating from ign?

    also the onm gave it 80%

  • Hi,do you have to have the Wii Fit Balance board to play the drums, or can you still play them but with out the bass pedal and hi-hat?

    thanks

  • You can play the entire drum kit without the board, just having trouble and may be boring as it is not realistic.

  • its a rentable game... i woodnt waste a butt load of money on something tht gets boring in a week

  • French Horn? no. Trombone? no. Baritone? no. Euphonium? no. Oboe? no. Basson? no. Mellophone? no. Wagner Tuba? no. staple concert instruments missing? yes. wii music = lame get a keyboard!
  • Its because no one plays those instruments :S

  • well thats because you were not in a marching band in high school were you?

    you probably like top 40, so stop talking about stuff you don't care about!

  • this guy just sucks at the drums. the controls are really good and that is actually the best part of the game if you have a balance board.

  • if i get this game i will definatley plan turkey in the straw

  • so how creative is the song maker????

  • this game looks like it suckssssssssssss

  • if you think so... then dont get it

    i have this game and i find it fun!

  • idk why they bitch and whine about this game, its not real music, its Fun , for kids and family, what it lacks is that for a full retail price game you would expect more songs

    but the fun having your kids playing with you is priceless

    (btw im mostly a ps3 gamer xD)

    But, i got to admit the nintendo E3 2008 Press Conference was really Embarassing

  • i kind of have to disagree because first off that bar on top was for rhythm not notes and second the drums aren't that difficult as the person says in the video' it more realistic because in real life you have pedals which the balance board represents.

  • DCTHELEET, PLEASE ANSWER.

    so they have a mode where you are supposed to play specific notes on the screen, somewhat like rockband or something? an example of what im trying to say are the notes on top of the screen at, 1:17 ?

  • well actually, yeah you can follow the on screen notes, but you can add your own notes in there if you wanted to so you can add your own feel to the song.

  • rock band is cooler

  • so yeah, is it worth my money buying this game?

  • Only if you've got children/siblings who enjoy musicmaking, or if you feel like toying around with public-domain songs and making them your own. It's a good Christmas gift; put it that way.

  • That's fair enough, I suppose.

    There's more than public-domain stuff here, though. It's just oldies.

    Which I guess I must enjoy more than most my age or something.

  • Depends on how you approach basic music arrangement.

    Give it a try -- that's what I did.

    Some will like it, some will hate it, it's hard to say until you try it.

    I THOUGHT I was gonna hate it, but I loved it enough to buy it.

  • It's all in how you mix it. I've managed to punk out all the classical songs and they own now.

  • this look sso funn~

  • im getting it to free play on the drums

  • Can you upload your own songs onto it???

  • people who buy into this shit are beyond lame. at least rock band & guitar hero are for wii.

  • i think miyamoto should be kept in a cage wit a computer and a guy with a stick pocking him and saying 'MAKE PIKMIN MARIO AND ZELDA!!! NOW!!!!'

    please just one little bit of motion control..

    -slap-

    NO MAKE MARIO!!!!

  • That was just appalling. Were you honestly expecting a full-fledged musical game from the Wii? Everyone should know better by now.

    It's a game targeted to children and casual family members, not musicians, hence the incredible ease with which you compose and arrange music. BTW, if the renditions are "poorly executed," then you're not playing them right. <.<;

  • Ok Miyamoto, so you gave us this piece of crap. NOW GO MAKE ANOTHER ZELDA DAMNIT!

  • WTF...you need a balance boaredd!

  • Nah its actually just for the "Drum Mode" which is what you saw there with the actions and stuff...

    you can do everything else (including the Drum Kits in Custom Jam) without it...

  • Yeah... Why was this the feature presentation at E3 again?

  • this game fails. you can't even create your own songs in it.

  • i'm actually quite disappointed with this, er... i can't call it a game persay. noisemaker as Matt says? i'm just trying to see the good behind it all, but the decision to release a music based game when guitar hero and rock band are dominating rhythm games currently... not such a smooth move there Nintendo. i still have trust in you Nintendo, but this little toy might just be aimed at the younger kiddies..

  • you need wii balance board for it?

  • No. It's just that if you HAVE a Wii Balance Board, you are able to have a more in-depth play experience with a much more complicated drumset than the one you usually use in the game.

    It is not necessary to have a Balance Board to play Wii Music.

  • This game is good............if your three years old. I don't wanna sound like an asshole but this game is just a noisemaker. Nintendo screwed up. Thank God we have guitar hero and rock band

  • nintendo what's happened! I used to be a HUGE nintendo fanboy but now with this crap I've decided to get an xbox 360... I'm still keeping the wii, but I bought this game and sent it back after 1 day. Don't get me wrong, the wii has brawl and zelda, metroid is awesome too, but NINTENDO WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS!

    it's sad D:

  • So much wasted potential...

  • This game sucks! Nintendo has really gone downhill. This game is not worth buying, its worth throwing in the trash!

  • Yes they are doing so bad selling the most consoles in the home console industry. And still standing strong after 20+ years

  • Oh yeah Game cube was sooooo strung.

  • The Xbox wasn't.

    The PS3 isn't.

    Nintendo are an amazing developer. They know what the fans want, they knew this was going to be bad, that's why they were advertising it so much.

    Nintendo are doing so well they keep releasing these sort of games because casuals get them and they get more money from casual games then hardcore games.

    The fact is Nintendo know what they are doing.

    You would sell out if you were getting so much money as well. So don't think your console is doing any better. It aint

  • ahahhahahahahah ok you dushe bag, wii only has 2 good games Mario Galaxy and Zelda!!!

  • No more heroes

    Metroid

    BW2

    Zack & Wiki

    Mario & Sonic

    MKWii

    Captain Rainbow

    Wario land shake dimension

    Much more

    And also learn to spell faggot.

  • All of the games that you have listed are worse than PS2 or original XBOX games, they have graphics of a PS2, also I am 100% sure I can spell 100 times better than you I just type really fast and watch TV and dont really pay any attention to the spelling on the internet as log as you get what I said I couldnt give a fuck, one last thing work on your grammar Mr. smart ass... you nintendo faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!!!!­!!!!!!

  • No wonder you have "kid" in your username, because that is exactly how you behave - like a tantrum-throwing child.

  • and wat is ure problem duuuude

  • My problems:

    1. Your grammar sucks.

    2. You insult people for stating opinions, then get all defensive when you get some back.

    3. You're extremely immature to turn peaceful disagreements into silly little insult matches.

    4. I really hate people using the word "fag" derogatively.

    That is my problem with you, "duuuude"

  • duuuuuuuuude u r such a faaaaaaaaaaag!!!

  • Wow, I can certainly see how much maturity you have - about as much as a newborn. I guess it is pointless getting through to somebody who obviously has no life. Why else would you post stupid comments that do nothing but cause trouble to pretend you're cool? You should just stop embarassing yourself with such stupid remarks, you're only furthering people's perception that you are extremely stupid and immature. Anyway, I'm done arguing with you as it is completely pointless arguing with a kid.

  • duuuuude u totally suck dude

  • do u even know the definition of fag? maybe u should look it up instead of saying something u dont know what it is

  • a person that constantly complaints like uuu!!!!!! it means many tingz gay, stupid, uncool etc. there is no 1 meaning the original meaning is homosexual but you can use it however u want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG

  • No. You cannot "use it however you want." The word and the meaning you're using are two completely separate concepts. People like you who associate the words "gay" and "fag" with negative connotations are immature, ill-informed, irriting, insulting to others, and just plain disgusting. Learn to differentiate, or you're not going to have a pleasant social life. if any. This is not a "complaint," this is fact. School's in. Try learning something for once.

  • ...You're going to lead a truly sad life. I'd pity you if I gave a damn.

  • blaaaaaa blaaaaaa blaaaaaaa here we go again when is this going to end?

  • You. Shut up. Now.

  • hahahah heeeeeeelll noooo duuudeee!! you shut up first

  • whats your problem? calling ppl fags cos they write long comments???

  • well really your comment doesnt make sense, i wasnt referring to the video i was saying what a knob your being about somebody else! so next time, get you facts straight, talk like a sain person, and then fuck off duuuuuuuudeeee!!!!!

  • And you're happy about what Nintendo are doing, I honestly could give a rats arse about how much money they make. What you and every1 else should care about is the quality of games that come out and M$ & Sony are doing a much better job atm.

  • Mario Galaxy was a quality game. And Microsoft and Sony are doing a much better job atm because they don't make their own games. The Zelda team and Mario team etc etc. are working hard. Nintendo works very hard on their games, they made this to cash in. Just wait. Shigeru is starting to doubt the quality of his Zelda games, he says they are not good enough.

    And I do care about the quality of games, I'm just waiting for them to come out. They have already released their most popular franchises.

  • It's just i remember they days of playing so many great games on the NES, SNES & N64. The Wii has not lived upto my expectations at all. It used to be about the games and now it's more about fancy controllers and mediocre games to make use of them.

    In all honesty I though Mario galaxy was good but was not the same as when I played Mario3 and Mario64.

  • well I think that the Wii was more like an experimental console. Now that they got the controlling system (which is quite good), they can concentrate on graphics and performance for the next console and that one then will run over X-Box and Sony...

  • I think the next one will be on par graphics wise with the PS3 & 360. Nintendo will always try and keep their manufacturing costs to a minimum so they can sell it at an attractive price for consumers and make max profits.

    So therefor I see Nintendo being behind again in their graphics department, I honestly think that Nintendos next console will not be as popular as the wii, unless they come up with something amazing that will make it sell.

    As Alastair said they are in it for the money.

  • Yup

    Back when third party games were also as good as Nintendo's games. Most of the people on this comments page are lucky if they have ever owned a Nintendo 64. Yes Mario galaxy didn't have the same feel as Mario 64, it was still good. Don't worry Nintendo love money, the Wii is a way to get more money, and if that fails they advertise the DS even more.

  • Even with Matt pouring GALLONS of perfume on this turd, he still couldn't even say it was good in any way.

    But seriously needs to grow a pair and flat out say it's terrible already.

  • Yea i know its verry good for Nintendo

  • I personally liked this game, mainly for the variety of instruments. I don't get why everyone's calling it shitty...

  • Because their sheep, the media has bitched about this game as if it would bring an end to gaming, and they love to mention how this is Nintendo's big game of 08 as if Nintendo is the only company that makes games for the Wii, get over yourselves people and actually play the game before borrowing someone else's opinion.

  • I agree!!!! :P

  • This game is fucking crap that should be dumped in a landfill.

  • Good call Matt, this game looks horrible

  • The drums with the balance board are horrible in this game. Rather play with GH4 or Rock Band.

  • Sure they did. Playing it perfectly too I assume? Anyone at any age can play them, but well?

  • Hat's off then... I had a lot of trouble with the drums when using the balance board... other than that I like the game...

  • This looks really boring to me, but that's because I'm a musician. To kids, the idea of waving around their controller to play music is going to be awesome. For myself, though, I think I'll stick with my guitar.

  • thats stupid how you can't even make your own songs in the game.

  • Yea You can...

  • sounds rentable but i wouldnt rush out to buy it

  • Dang on any other Wii music game everyone is like cheering for the game, but in one negative review all of sudden everyone started hating on it.

    It's actually a pretty good game because even though it isn't hard music but it is music. From what I learned if you learn how to play music people will come out better and more intelligent.

    -My opinion!

  • Great I know how to play Wii music so now I know physics. "Hey disarm this atomic bomb." all in a days job. Oh hold on let me get my nun chuck. Safety first (Straps on wii mote) Now I'm ready for action!

  • Aw, that's depressing. I was hoping for this to be an intuitive Mario Paint, but I guess it's just annoying Simon, although I'm not sure if I would consider it less interesting than Guitar Hero or something similar.

  • So This is Wii's most hyped game of 08.

  • Yah, I like this game a lot, but not sure yet that I would have hyped it this much... I would have quietly released it to see if it caught on. SSBB and Animal Crossing are my 2 big games for the year. That and a few titles for my PS3...

  • suprise suprise, JUNK...

  • Matt doesn't have a clue about this game.

    This is one of the hardest games I've ever played - you can either play to have fun or you can play to improvise - I've only pulled off one improv and have had no luck lately. They are in there though... this is a hard game. check my videos to see the only one where I succeeded!

  • i rented this...its fun, but i would NEVER buy it. a week is all i need

  • it's a shame about Wii Music. Good idea, but while entertaining, it was a disappointment. I would stick with Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and also Wii Sports and WiiFit.

  • And this is why eventually Nintendo will eat their own shit.

  • seems more of a 7 then a 9...

    but its hitting a specific audience and that's probably no one around here so have fun hating

  • Let's face it: we all knew this was going to suck. I think I'll stick to Guitar Hero for my music-based gaming, thanks.

  • actually i think wii music sucks i think its ok

  • that made no sense at all

  • lol i know i ment to say * I don't think this game sucks.Its ok

  • and ill stick to a real instrument, see whenever you act superior to one version of something be wary if theres one better than yours... owned

  • I never said I didn't play a real instrument! I play Saxophone and Clarinet, and I tried learning Guitar, but I never did very well. That's why I prefer Guitar Hero - it's simpler to do and makes you feel like a rock star at the same time! And IMO there's no better music game than Guitar Hero! So, I'm NOT 'owned'! Have a nice day!

  • i think they r right about wii music

    TO FUCKING KID FRIENDLY !

  • Why are you so greedy? Why does every game have to be made for people like you?

    When something isn't made for you, why do you act like a child and complain about it?

    Sounds like Wii Music was made for you, man.

  • Hmmmmmmm.................... greedy, ay. Lets see I make $45,500 a month. child $5.75 a week. I think I know who to market

  • yeh I think I'll pass on this one

  • you know if the video is on ign why did you upload it to your own channel?

  • because IGN's website is terrible.

  • I like the idea of being able to play the songs creatively instead of mindlessly tapping along, but this is in serious need of songs people love and that motionplus thing.

    Cool idea, but I'll hold off for the sequel.

  • Yeah,NO!

  • I usually frown down at the people who class Nintendo games as 'kids' toys and the like but in this case i'd have to agree with them.

    WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!!

  • wat do u mean  "if u get really lucky"?

  • Cassamassina is an asshole

  • you can send music
