The game has been out a week and there are no reviews for it up at all on Metacritic. I would have thought that a Nana On Sha game would have had at least some attention from the critics. It's not out here yet so Ican't buy it for myself, but I'm really interested to see how it's turned out!

Maybe Giant Bomb will review it. That would be something.

I mentioned this game in a thread a couple of weeks ago. People are not going to play it because it looks so horrible. Everyone has forgotten about Parappa and Lammy.

I didn't like Parappa :(

I love Parappa to this day, I think the songs are genius and I have no idea how they could possibly have been written... perhaps with the aid of strong drugs. Looks like there's going to be no more catchy songs in this though, one reason not to be excited about it.

 Both Parappas and Um Jammer Lammy were decent games. Something makes me think this game won't live up to them. I'll have to wait and see though

Well, i don't know much about the game, but a Wii music game published by Majesco is bound to be thrown aside as shovelware, regardless of quality or developer.

I think I remember Ryan and Jeff talking about how they were kind of digging it, during the last Bombcast.  I thought they may review it, but they didn't mention it in today's I Love Mondays.

Thanks Alexander, that's an interesting read, looks like I can still look forward to the game :)

Here's another one, by cheat code central.

I was expecting this game to fare worse.

I thought that was out of 10 until I saw they said it has a stellar soundtrack xD
I'll be looking forward to the soundtrack then, if an official one comes out or it's ripped, but I don't fancy waving a wiimote around like a baton for a long time.

I played it today. I love Parappa and Lammy, but this game is really just bad. The art style is bad-bad, not charming-bad, waving around the baton really strains your arm, the "story sequences" are an absolute joke (think "my first flash movie") both animation- and content-wise (it hurts), and while the gameplay of finding the right tempo and rhythm and collecting band members and items is actually quite entertaining, the one thing that could have made this game recommendable is missing: Catchy tunes. The soundtrack really did nothing for me, and that's bad for a game that tries to step up to Parappa and Lammy.
And I can't see anyone playing this for longer than 10 minutes - Because your arm is going to hurt.

The really bad thing is, it's not even a kid's game. I could have sold it as good, because it has at least this audience, but for a kid's game, it's just too hard. It really is very difficult, finding the right speed and keeping track of everything on screen.

No, in all seriousness, this game fails. It's not entirely bad and I wish there was a proper gesture-based music game, but as it stands, it's much more annoying than entertaining.

Is it even out?  I haven't seen a single copy anywhere.
