The sheer pleasure and creativity of making music - either on your own or as part of a band - is only a few hand gestures away this Christmas with the launch of a unique new game only for Wii - Wii Music.
Easy to play and with no experience necessary – you and your friends and family will soon be jamming for fun and making sweet music across a range of over 60 different instruments on more than 50 tracks made famous by artists from John Lennon and The Police to Madonna and Kylie Minogue and including compositions by Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Beethoven. You can’t make a mistake – if your movement is not entirely accurate, Wii will make the right kind of sound for you.

Watch the video review.
Wii Music’s introduction at E3 didn’t make anyone happy. It came after months of promises to please the “core gamer,” and their presentation proved that it just wasn’t the case. Instead of Link, they gave us a guitar. Instead of Samus, they gave us a trumpet. Instead of Mario, they gave us a dog costume. They teased renewing all of their classic franchises, but they didn’t announce anything. The closest thing to a “core” game was Grand Theft Auto DS, but that’s about it. But even so, there was still a chance that the “core gamer” was wrong, and that Nintendo was really ready to rock, but the question remains: does Wii Music exceed our expectations?
The graphics and overall presentation are impressive, living up to Nintendo’s Seal of Quality. Just like Wii Fit, Miis take the center stage, and are used as both playable characters as well as spectators. It’s always entertaining to see Kenny from South Park playing the Violin, or Osama Bin Laden playing the trumpet next to Garfield. The games menus are organized and slick, and the entire game has a sense of polish about it. It feels like Nintendo has figured out a template that works for their nontraditional games, and will continue to apply it to games like Wii Fit and Wii Music to ensure that, if nothing else, they look incredibly polished.
