Major Minors Majestic March Nintendo Wii

Do you have fun waving a stick for hours on end? Maybe this game is for you. Otherwise, it's not. The chief mechanic in this game is waving the remote to the beat of music, which is something you don't even need a game console to do. Really, all you do in this game is wave the remote. It gets old after about a minute. This is a classic example of the type of gimmicky game that the Wii can be known for. These types of games are what fuel the "just for kids" stereotype about the Wii. Don't fuel the stereotype, don't buy the game.

Don't be fooled by the cutesy characters, this is not an easy game for kids! We got it for our 4 year old to play thinking he could handle it, but it's tough. With that being said, if you're into band and marching band music, it can be kinda cool. If you've got no rhythm, though, you're outta luck.

I got this game because I figured it'd be a good game for my preschooler to play...simple easy...but you know what...too easy and quite boring. All you do is wave the wiimote up and down. It gets old really quick and my daughter asks to play something else. My husband tried to play it for 5-10 minutes but its just dull...wish I wouldn't have paid full price for it...want it? Get it used...

I loved the idea of a marching band game, seeing as I'm in marching band. While gameplay itself is enjoyable, the plot is bland and repetitive. Thankfully after beating the game once, cutscenes can be skipped. If one has been in marching band before, forget all knowledge except timing. The way to hold the Wiimote to make it happy is a skill to be learned, like a guitar player picking up rock band. It's like one of those online games you can download, same thing over and over again.

My husband picked this out for my 5 and 6 year old's. We took it home and tried to play it, but they hated it. They couldn't even get past the tutorial before they were frowning and I could tell they were not having fun. Thank god we only wasted $5 on this game. I even found it hard to control, and if an adult has trouble with the game, how are children expected to be able to play it? I will qualify that we are new to the Wii and we only have the Wiimotes without the motion detector, I don't know if getting that would help with the game controls, but we will not be keeping this game anyway.
