Going by the first page many people thought this was a wii music copy. Are you blind? It's basically a puppet show toolbox.
1. Sculpt your character and environment.
2. Record your performance.
3. Share your creations, videos and sculptures.
Yes, one of the things you can record is a music related video but that isnt anything like wii music. The music was pre-recorded and they were acting as it played. Animations are procedural, move the controller around the screen and the character walks with it. You'll probably have to setup a skeleton (which shouldn't be too difficult). They'll have predefined moods you can choose that determine their animation. Press a button to interact with objects like the guitar (I think I saw one of them obviously press a button to interact with something).
There's nothing resembling a traditional game there but it does look to be an interesting interactive software. It looks pretty cool. I love the idea of creating sculptures but I wonder how difficult it will be with the move. Depth tracking and all that, could prove to be difficult. Basically MM goal is for people to create videos with this software, users upload it to youtube and it has a very obvious "made with MM sculpture software" look and that generates buzz. Like the user creativity around LBP but without traditional game trappings.
LBP first sold me on a PS3 because they were actually trying to do something interesting. This doesn't exactly give me the same vibe as LBP but it looks very cool and I look forward to seeing what direction MM take it.
