Hello... You may have noticed I haven't submitted any Reviews lately, so I'm a little rusty. But not to fear, I still got the skill! So today I'll be reviewing Wii Music (for the idiots who forgot what they clicked). And just so you know... I really didn't like this game, so I may give your favorite game a bad Review! So if you love this game to death... I suggest you quit reading now. On to the Review!
System: Wii
Genre: DDR kind
of
Players: Up to
4
Rating: E
Price: $40 or
so
Story:
Apparently you’re
some sort of beginning musician in the making and your goal is to travel
around playing virtually every instrument you can find to try to learn
new songs.
Graphics: ****
Okay, so the
graphics weren't that bad... They had some very nice instrument designs!
And all of the Miis were very nicely done (background characters). The
levels were also nice but they were really missing that Nintendo touch.
Something about them made me feel sick. Honestly it looked like a child
could have done the same thing. So not the worst in the world.
Sound: ***
You must be sitting
there, thinking "How could a game based around sound... only get three
stars?!" Well that’s because there were only a couple songs. Yes! Only
about thirty songs you could play! So lame! Of the ones you could... they
were okay. But really, they needed about nine times what they had. The
instruments working very well though, so points for that. The old dude's
voice was really annoying as well. The effects worked great, though! Every
time I strummed a string it worked, as it played the sound that a real
guitar ought to make!
Difficulty: **
The songs were
hard to play! Especially when you'd never heard them. They had no practice
mode where you could learn the songs step by step, which really bothered
me. They just said, "Hey kid, you've hummed a tune, right? Well here’s
a piano, go play in front of an audience and play them a wonderful symphony!"
They also had a mode for you to do all these challenges and on some of
them they give no clue what to do! So yes, this really needed to be thought
over more carefully!
Replayabilty:
It’s not that
you can't replay it... It’s that you'd likely never want to play the songs
again. I don't even want to play or think about this game ever again. I
mean, it was so bad. I literally put it away and now it’s collecting dust.
It’s been played once since I got it for Christmas from my brothers. If
you can stand to get frustrated by the songs then be my guest and say how
wrong I am, but if I'm thinking like other people then they probably hate
this game after they play it too. Or at least not love it.
Characters: ***
Sure, you can
use your Mii, but for the other stage characters... they actually scared
me a little. There’s a shrimp of a conductor, and a ton of nerds who stare
without blinking straight ahead, endlessly through the song! I mean really...
They needed to add in less horrifying characters or this may have had a
better score.
Controls: ****
I really can't
complain all that much here... The controls "normally" worked fine. The
piano and other instruments were simple and easy to use... except the guitar-based
instruments. They would not work. One stroke up and nothing would happen,
one stroke down and you would play a note. Then there were songs that required
you to move your arm up and down really fast, which with the guitar...
would not pick up the right signals. Overall they were fun to use on brass
and percussion instruments but some were just absolutely annoying.
Items: *
No items other
than being able to unlock some "way out there" instruments. Nothing more
really to put here... I guess a couple of the instruments were fun to use,
like the NES pipe or whatever. And the galactic piano I believe was fun.
Levels: **
There were, I
believe, nine different stages for you to play on. There was space, apartments,
a truck, cake, and some others that aren't even worth naming. Nine. Woohoo.
They needed way more. At least twenty. At least. Of the ones they had...
about half were interesting. Half. As you can see, they needed some more...
like maybe a party in the backyard. Or even a rock out in the shopping
mall!
Gameplay: ***
Okay, it literally
goes like this: Have conductor say random message, go get instrument, play
song a billion times, make terrible CD, send to a million (or none) friends.
That’s about it. I'm not even kidding. There was virtually nothing to do
other than that and some weird minigames. Boring!
Fun Factor!: ****
The first time
you play it, it’s fun. But it never is again. Once you've unlocked everything
there is- and that took me, no kidding, only two hours to do- you’re pretty
much left with a finished game. As I said, once you play you never want
to play again. No kidding.
Recommendation:
Would this be
worth spending 40 dollars on? No. 30? No. 20? No. 10? No. Free? No. You’re
better off spending 50 dollars on a DDR Mario Mix and dance pad than buying
this game. At least that game gave me endless hours of fun. I still play
it even today. But this game? Not in a million years do I wanna play it
again. It scored overall 25/50, which in reality would be 50% good. That
means they'd get an F on their math test. And they do. Do not waste your
time and money on this game if you know what’s good for you.
