captpackratI picked up Wii Music today. A lot of critics are calling it a Fisher-Price Guitar Hero, and indeed it can be, but it does have potential to make some really interesting music. Unlike Guitar Hero/Rock Band, where you have to play a song exactly as it was originally recorded, Wii Music lets you adlib, adding or skipping notes, changing the rhythm or use a totally different instrument, and you can even improvise your own music. It's really a totally different class of game from GH or RB.
Among the dozens of instruments available is one called the Dog Suit, which puts a dog fursuit on your Mii and makes you bark like a dog. I was playing around with this, improvising a little tune. My roommate's dog kept tilting her head looking kind of puzzled. Then she went over to one of the TV speakers and started sniffing at it. I laughed.
