I have been waiting to try this one out since the first wii commercial, that showed a dude acting like a maestro and another drumming away with the wii remote and numchuck.. but once i played it, it was fun at first, but quickly grew boring.. with all the time they took on this game, you'd think they'd do a better job.. There are a lot of instruments, and many ways to arrange them in different songs, but it still isn't entertaining for too long. Playing by yourself is completely useless, gets old fast. There are not as many songs as i thought there would be as well, and most of them get really annoying depending on what instruments you are using.
There are a few other game modes besides arranging music though, one of them is mini games, like mii maestro, hand bell harmony and a game that test your pitch recognition..the maestro one i really liked actually, its one of the little things that didn't get enough attention in this game. it's fun and challenging, even though the controls aren't that great.. there are only 5 songs too, so that's kind of a let down.. the other 2 mini games are ok, but nothing special. i guess this game is really meant for smaller children, or to be a party game. i haven't tried either of those yet, so maybe it will have its moments in the future.
Now that i got all of the downsides out of the way, its time for the one thing in the game, that i actually really thought was pretty good. The drum set using the balance board mode (or whatever you call it). This was really fun, and although the controls could be better, they are not at all bad.. you really get the feel of a real drum set, and the lessons actually teach you some pretty cool beats. too bad the jam mode with this drum set doesn't provide a view from the back of the set.. it would be a lot easier that way..
Well then, to put it quite simply, this game is not THAT good, but it can have it's fun moments. if you like music, im sure you can really relate to it and enjoy it, for a while at least. if you have the balance board it has a little extra value, but really, overall this game is a big disappointment..
