Wii Music has no score, no aim and so no game over screen. There's no winning or losing. Just music. But that is exactly why it's "better than a video game", according to Shigeru Miyamoto.

"I'm hoping that through Wii Music, we'll get more drummers, more musicians and more people interested in music," he said, according to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5026431/miyamoto-wii-music-is-better-than-a-video-game).
