Based on the wildly popular Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical, the Disney Channel's High School Musical DVD board game is an above average companion to the ever-growing HSM empire. If you're familiar with the Scene It? DVD games and are hoping for the "start of something new," you will find this pared-down version aimed primarily at children six and over "sticking to the status quo." It comes with the High School Musical board game DVD, game board, and six character pieces. Gameplay is fast-paced and you can adjust the length to fit your timeframe. Choose one of six characters (Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Taylor, and Chad) and answer trivia, spot the actual (or "so not") scene stills, sing in the blanks of your favorite HSM songs, and complete the missing dance moves to further your character to the final call backs. Questions and challenges range from the appropriately appellative freshman to senior difficulty. The first player to reach the final call backs chooses the theme for the final showdown. All of the players that made it past the auditions compete to become the star of the high school musical.
The game's how-to was quick, simple, and useful. The practice mode takes you through the dance moves, and although we were expecting the whole musical numbers, the redacted walkthroughs are fairly thorough. Mrs. Darbus narrates your way throughout the game and has inspiring, drama-related banter that was only a minor annoyance to the adults after an hour of playing. The only troubles we came across were the constant clicking of the DVD remote after every scene in game, and also, an errant click while answering questions cannot be reversed, thus interrupting the gameplay. The songs and dances inspire players to get up and act as this game provides a bit of excitement for all of those fans of High School Musical.

High School Musical is every tweener's favorite movie right now! Found this four days ago on Amazon and got it in time for my daughter's birthday party today. You should see eight 8-year-old girls singing the missing words to "When There was You and Me" or all getting up and dancing the missing dance steps to a video clip from "Get'cha Head in the Game"! WAY off the charts for the cuteness factor! Very enjoyable-- my only complaint was that at first glance we couldn't find a "Party Play" option like they have on comparable Scene-It games. It might be there, but it wasn't immediately obvious when we put the DVD in for my daughter's party. Otherwise, great fun! Top holiday gift? Oh YEAH!

If your a parent of any kid from 6-12, you will be shocked to play this game and find out you know more about High School musical then you EVER thought you would want to. There is basically trivia and finishing the lyric of the song (I couldn't believe that I could remember, but then again, I find myself singing "get your head in the game" at work sometimes) but there is also dancing, where you have to complete the move. This is hilarious. My daughter (9) gets a big kick out of me doing the dance steps. She has wiped the floor with me a couple times, but I am getting better. This is basically Scene It for High School musical and we love it!
It also is a game that can be adjusted for time. Sometimes games can drag on and on but this one allows you to set the mark on how long the game will be, and as a busy mom, I LOVE that. I would highly recommend this game for kids as well as for a family togetherness game.

I bought this for my girls (then 4 and 6) because they have watched High School Musical endlessly. It has several categories of questions, ranging from fill in the blank lyrics to trivia from the movie to looking at shots of movie scenes to see if something has been changed. They love all these categories, and can answer many of the questions, but simply cannot answer one category -- where you watch a very short dance clip with a blacked-out segment, and you have to say what specific dance move would have happened in the missing seconds. If your kids have not memorized every step of the dances, they will lose on their turn every time if a dance question comes up. This frustrates my girls to the point where they rarely finish a game. Otherwise they do enjoy playing it, especially when friends come over.
