Review

Let's start out with the gameplay; the game allows the player to choose from a variety of different instruments ranging from normal everyday-used instruments to instruments that are not common to any of us i.e. (Cat suits, Dog suits-which make the player generate sounds from both animals). Another addition to this would be the use of the Wii balance board which is exclusively used for the drums.


The game is consisted of a multiplayer mode as well as a single player mode, and has a total of two modes, which are the Jam mode and the mini-games. Jam mode is consisted of two other modes within itself which are Quick Jam and Custom Jam. The Quick Jam mode takes the player in a random song for you to play in and the Custom Jam mode allows the player to play what songs they choose and what instruments they want to choose. The mini-game section is consisted of 4 games; Drums, Handbell Harmony, Pitch Perfect and finally, Mii Maestro.


The drums mini-game allows the player to use the Wii balance board as pedals; the player can also use a drum-set. Mii Maestro allows the player to conduct and orchestra, you must swing the Wii remote up and down and it depends on how fast or slow you swing the remote for a good flow of music, if swung too fast, the music plays faster, if swung too slow the music plays too slow. Pitch perfect quizzes the player on a certain amount of sounds. And finally, Handbell Harmony just makes the player play music with handbells by using the Wii remote. Opinions: the game is fun for the whole family, but is consisted of mini-games that are quite boring if the game is played for a long time.
