The Wii game console has expanded console gaming to the entire family with accessible games, an intuitive motion sensitive controller and a lower price point. With the release of the Wii Music game, Nintendo opens up an entirely new genre, started by the Guitar Hero franchise, to a wider audience.
Wii Music Instruments
Utilizing the motion controller that Wii has become famous for, you can expand the number of possible instruments to well into the dozens - go well beyond Guitar Hero or even the complete band set with Rock Band to play nearly any instrument you can imagine: Wii Music allows you to play the Indian sitar, as well as a wide variety of Western instruments from genres ranging from classical to rock.
Wii Music Creation
Music fans will delight in their ability to interact and improvise with musical scales in an entirely new way; rather than following a dexterity test format of other guitar rock games, the game allows you to freely explore and to simulate the creative process of music creation.
Since the collaborative nature of music creation is at the core of the process for artists, Nintendo emulates the feel of a studio by allowing you to share, remix and collaborate with other players on new musical tracks through its online Wii Connect feature. In this way, you can explore new musical ideas as well as getting the same type of feedback that you would get from a true musical composition.
For fans of nearly every genre - ranging from improvisational jazz to modern techno pop - Wii Music raises the music simulation genre to a new level, and is highly recommended for introducing children to the creative process. When combined with genuine interaction with real instruments and lessons, Wii Music can help jog the creative vibe in children of all ages.
