- It's easy to play improv jams. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart's content. Play faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music. There are no mistakes-just playing for the pure joy of playing.
- Wii controls immerse you in the music. You can play most of the 60-plus instruments in Wii Music using simple motions with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. Strum to play guitar, banjo and sitar. Drum to play jazz drums, congas and marching drums. Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone and marimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music doesn't make you use complex buttons. You only need to imitate playing the instrument.
- Wii Music offers virtually endless ways to make music. You choose the song and instruments and decide whether to blaze through a rock take on classical songs, put a jazzy spin on folk tunes or transform Nintendo classics like the Super Mario Bros.® theme into Latin-flavored numbers. The song list is only a takeoff point-it's how you improvise with the songs that matters.
- Send your band-jam recordings to Wii Friends who have Wii Music. They'll see your Mii band members, your players' improv styles and your instrument selections. They can watch your recordings, or play over parts of your song, then send their modified recording back to you. Improv jams can be sent back and forth over WiiConnect24 and changed again and again.
- Beyond the Jam: Wii Music includes many other modes besides the main band jams, including several musical games and an enhanced video playback mode for recorded jams.
- Play it again: Use the playback mode to see your jam recordings brought to life with dramatic camera angles.
- Pick up the baton: Command an orchestra in the conducting game where you'll wave the Wii Remote controller like a conductor's baton to lead a Mii orchestra through orchestrated music. Make them play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently.
- Ring a bell: Play a handbells game where you'll swing your Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to play your two handbells as part of a larger ensemble.
- Everyone on the team has a job to do: Play one of your notes only when the tune demands it.
- An ear for music: Take a tone quiz that tests your musical ear by giving you challenges, like putting note-playing Miis in order from lowest to highest pitch.
- Bang the drum: Play a virtual drum set in the drumming mode, the one mode in Wii Music that also uses the Wii Balance Board accessory (sold with Wii Fit?). You'll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance Board-which work as virtual pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal.

Don't let these haters fool you- Wii Music is a high quality music game that gamers of all skill levels should try. Just remember- this game is not anything like guitar hero or rock band. Wii Music isn't about high scores and perfection; its about being creative and expressing yourself.
It's certainly easy to pick up and play, but I certainly wouldn't say that you just wave your arms like a crazed monkey and beautiful music comes out. This game really does take some amount of skill if you want your songs to sound good. Kids will love just being able to pick up the controller and play basic songs, but there's a surprising amount of depth for more experienced gamers. There are about 100 songs, and each song has (I think) about seven parts (melody, harmony, percussion, etc.). Also there are over 60 different instruments. If that wasn't enough, you can adjust the tempo (from painfully slow to absurdly fast), and the style the song is played (rock, electronic, tango, japanese, and ...[More]

| Wii music seems exciting and fun at first, but take a closer look. Twinkle, Twinkle little star? Really? Not to be mean or anything, but after 5 minutes, it just gets old. If you want something really fun, learn to play an instrument. I am a percussionist so I am pretty well-educated with all the instrumental groups. I know people are flippy over othercomparing this from guitar hero or rock band, ...[More] |

| Wow! I can't believe you haters! I just don't understand you guys who don't like this game. No, its not perfect but it's a BLAST to play. When I bought this game, I couldn't get enough of it and 6 months later, I am still having a great time with it. The music is great, the animations are good, but funny and the controls are nice and simple. Some instruments aren't very realistic, like the piano (...[More] |

| DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!.The challenge is poor because all you do is wave your arms like a monkey gone wild. The graphics are really bad, no avatars but your miis. The responsiveness was terrible. The sound is not that good, because you can barely hear the instrument when you do a song. The controls stunk because again, all you do was wave your arms like a monkey gone wild. The songs were like song...[More] |
