I can't believe I'm writting this, let alone played this game, but I did find out after playing it that I was having fun
Story starts off with my girlfriend. She happens to be a sophmore in college who is studying as a music major. The second she saw this game she went crazy. I tried to explin to her from my "superior" hard core gamer knowledge that this game was going to be a load of crap. Well I went with her and rented it and then we plus 2 friends attacked Wii music.
Now for the review
First off the game is exactly what you thought it was. Alls you do is wag the wii remote to the music (or not to the music if thats your fancy) and wa-laa! wii music. But I found there happened to be some fun involved in this. My friend Tessi had a blast playing as the non-instrumental options such as dog suit, cat suit, and cheerleader. The sound coming out of the t.v. from these options was, lets put it lightly, horrendous, but something weird happened. We all started laughing. There is other options and I'm not going to explain them all but because of its little quirks, and how your friends will react to acting like idiots (because lets face it thats what the wii is all about) I reccomend that you rent this game for a night of fun. Now reread that sentence. RENT. this game isn't worth the price, but for a 6$ rental its a lot of fun wiht a party of four. Just use wii music the right way, by renting it and you have a great game for a short time! I am also giving this game a 7 based on the assumption that you will take my suggestion and only rent this game.
