There is a wide selection of public-domain music, and some (pre-modern) pop and Nintendo scores, but that's it. Although there is a wide swath of instruments, some are missing (where are you classical guitar?!), others are just gimmicky (cheerleader), and all lack good sound quality (especially the "sax"). The main problem is that it doesn't even fulfill what it's set out to do. Less-skilled musicians such as Matt Cassamania will end up with remarkably less interesting and more painful renditions. Skilled arrangers can produce some very interesting remixes, as evidenced by the videos showing up on YouTube. The rest is just basic sequencing, which puts most (not all) of the impetus on the user, and not on the software. Those expecting a simple rhythm game in the vein of GH/RB/DDR will be disappointed that there's only a hand-bell minigame that grants that experience. This isn't some dumbed down version of Guitar Hero, it's Cakewalk/FLStudio/SoundForge/ for kids.

No big plastic peripherals needed, just a couple of Wii Remotes and an open mind. Wii Music is another great music party game for those who can't even play music. However, the time you'll have with Jam Session just about makes up for that loss. You have your standard jam session for up to four people and that's about it. My only gripe is that there not enough modes. Wii Music sports a few fun extra modes and a functioning virtual drumset for those who have a Wii Balance Board. With over 60 different kinds of instruments, albeit some more ridiculous and pointless than others, each time you play can be a different experience than the last. The thing this game does best is make you express yourself. Musically inclined or not, Wii Music will give you a new perspective on improvisation. Music lovers rejoice! We've got ourselves another music game and this one is for everyone! Wii Music is a wonderful and joyous Music lovers rejoice! We've got ourselves another music game and this one is for everyone! Wii Music is a wonderful and joyous experience that pumps as much happiness and love as it can into your ears. To those who aren't, go play something that doesn't take any mental ability, you'll be happier. It's not for everyone, in fact, again, I think it's only for the creative, and it is hard to play in groups where everyone wants to be the star, but it is something both unique and wonderful that is being unfairly maligned. I've been enlightened by the lessons and feel the game delivers on both making my life better and being very enjoyable, though in a totally different way than what I expect out of a game. The sensation though, of creation was fantastic. The song was the one you know, but completely personalized from instrumentation to frills during the music, it was what I made it.and I still need practice. Working with multiple parts to try and nail the feeling I wanted out of the theme from The Legend of Zelda took me over an hour and I still wasn't satisfied. I make games for a living, I love being creative and WiiMusic allows me to do that in a way unlike any other game I've played. Playing the game has been something of a revelation, though my experience is quite unique. I had swore off buying it after E3 and have watched in stunned silence as it was marketed, unsure of just what the point was. I had swore off buying it after E3 and have watched in I'm not sure this game is a 10, but it comes about as close as a game can. I'm not sure this game is a 10, but it comes about as close as a game can.
