Did Roo just say that anyone can be a composer? WHOA, reality check.

Seriously, it’s a game by freaking Miyamoto. How can it be bad? It’s not Guitar Hero (and thank goodness for that – we already have 2 rock-themed music games), and it’s Nintendo. It’s a very different perspective on games and gaming in general. I agree that this will do very very well.

I very much believe that while yes the concept seems a bit half baked, the overall idea of the game will be brilliant. Miyamoto has proved time and time again that his games are amazing and is laughing all the way to the bank. We should be looking at this as an artistic endeavor and see what comes out of it.

Come on guys!! Are you freaking addicted to Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band this far?

This ISN’T meant to be a ROCK game! It’s a MUSIC game!

Well said Fourteentoone – and I do agree. But let’s uncover the BS and get down to brass tacks: It has the name “Wii” in front of the title. It’s going to sell millions of copies. And I bet it will definitely have appeal in schools, and to about 3/4 of the existing Wii audience. it’s competition is only itself, not Rock Band or GH. Totally different animal.

Whilst I agree that the music selection is…dodgy – Roo – this game has absolutely NOTHING to do with composing. It is about conducting.

And you might find that whilst they don’t have the same profile as rock stars, in the classical music world, conductors are the equivalent of rock stars, many of the greats burning the candle at both ends.

And if err… anyone could do it, then why isn’t everyone doing it, and making a ton of money, like the best conductors do….

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
