Wii Music

by Lynn Little

First there was Wii Sports which challenged your athletic prowess. Now Wii Music looks to challenge the inner musician in you. Wii Music is set to be released October 20th and will use practically every Wii accessory that has ever been made. Well not really but it does make use of the Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Wii balance board.

So, not only will your left hand have to keep up with what your right hand is doing but both will also have to keep pace with your feet. It seems like a lot of work to play a video game but Wii Music hopes to capture some of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band fans with it’s game play. Why be limited to a guitar, bass, and drums when you can try out one of 60 different instruments? Imagine strumming on a banjo or hammering out a tune on the piano.

Players will take part in a jam session and then can play back their musical masterpiece. You can also send your jam sessions to your Wii friends and incorporate their Miis into your game. Aside from the jam session, you can pick up the baton and lead a band. You can even take a tone quiz to test your listening skills. Play a hand bell game to get the hang of swinging the Nunchuk and Wiimote controller. So there is more to do in this game that just freestyle music.

Wii Music is rated E for Everyone. One to four players can jam out at the same time. Wii Music is slated to be released October 20, 2008.
