Wii Critic Reviews

Wii Music may have a hard time winning over the skeptics who just want to laugh at it, but give the game the chance it deserves. You just might realize it's pretty damn fun being in on the joke.

Don't demand an orchestral "Guitar Hero" or instrument simlation and you'll be happy. [Christmas 2008, p.48]

While Wii Music is sure to divide gamers, it's just too fun for us to pass up on. [Christmas 2008, p.63]

Videogame or not a videogame. That's not the question. Wii Music offers sensations, gives fun and helps us to understand the meaning of music. It doesn't matter if this title is so casual, as long as composing our own melodies is an easy process for everybody.

Bold, original and bizarre, it's better than we anticipated but ultimately too half-baked to fully endorse. [Dec 2008, p.62]

If Nintendo had either ponied up for some proper songs people would want to listen to or, preferably, found some way to allow you to make up your own tunes entirely, this could’ve been something even more special.

Give Wii Music a try if you're growing lethargic of repeating the same songs in the same way over and over -- you might learn something about how music composition works, and you may discover your more creative side. Compared to other games of the genre and casual games in general, Wii Music is really more of a basic creative canvas than a "melt-your-fingers-off" game, but it enables its players to do a lot with a little and to do it nearly however they want -- it pulls this all off with a relative amount of finesse, too.

Wii Music is a novel and fun experience that will sweep away the hours while you're jamming with your buddies. Give it a chance and you're in for a good time.

There is no easier way to make music and play recognizable songs than by playing the Wii Music. [Dec 2008, p.42]

Vastly more entertaining than expected and completely unique amongst a sea of me-too music games.
