The game is OK. But I was REALLY disappointed that the HSM cast is not actually singing these songs - they use some knock-off singers that sounds VERY karaoke. I don't know why they just couldn't have used the music from the CD. Other than that, the graphics are OK and it is decently fun. I didn't (and probably wouldn't have ever) paid full price for it.

An extra star for only costing $10 including dance pad!

Simple, limited, fun. Great for kids. Daughers age 5 & 12 both enjoyed it. Repative sure. However, not annoyingly so (yet anyway).

Even if one only plays it a short time, it's only $10 and can be resold.

I purchased this item for my daughter's 9th birthday. It was apparently easy to set up because she and my 11 year old son set it up themselves. She's had a good time making her character (and one for everyone in the family), but more importantly, she's had a great time playing the game. I've played it too and find it pretty fun. My only complaint is that it is kind of easy to get "off mat", which led to frustration for my daughter until she figured out what was happening (she'd be aiming for, say, the step behind her, but would actually be stepping on the space behind and to the right, so her "hit" wouldn't count). Once we figured that out, though, we can remedy it pretty quickly during gameplay. My 11 year old son likes it too (but he wouldn't admit it to anyone!). It is a good game for getting some exercise, too.

I just bought this and received it Wednesday and it is already messing up! The wiring is screwed up to where when you press and hold the right arrow it is connected to the start button and it ends the song.. also when you press the left arrow it will also press the right arrow.

I ordered for my kids and myself to get more exercise in on those rainy days and in a fun way. We love it, but wish for more or all of HSM's songs could be on there. But other than that we love it.

Picked this game up at walmart, full price too! :( should have looked at amazon first. Got it for my daughter and my wife likes the High School Musical movies. My daughter loves the quizzes in the game and loves to dance. I even tried it and it is a pretty fun game. We are only on Sophomore level and it can be tiring!
Like people said it's not the original singers and they aren't the best singers but because of royalties if original there would be no way it would sell for [...] bucks. It is definitely worth the price of [...] bucks if you like dancing games and the high school musical music. It is good exercise.

Suprised the kids with this one. Suprised myself with how fun it turned out to be. The neighbor kid was so excited she was stomping on it instead of just stepping. Held up fine so far. My daughters are 8 and 11.

okay, it is an AWESOME game, AWESOME price, but i really wished they actually used troy and Gabriella's voices. the characters are very believable- they look like the actors/actresses. AND i also enjoy creating my own person, and changing their outfit to work with the song. however, you're not really dancing, just stepping to the rhythm. and, the mat tends to slip and slide, causing you to miss notes. i would recommend it, for any gender, any age. =]
i mean, how can you pass up a great game for a great price?

I was extremely dismayed when my daughter and I found that the game did not use the real vocals of the cast from the film for its songs. It's such a shame that the creators of the game did not use the tracks straight from the film. I mean, why even bother re-recording the songs? The singing is really poor, especially when compared to the original versions of the songs.

The motion capture is really stiff and unrealistic. The 3D models of the characters that we know and love don't do justice to their real world counterparts.

This game does have a few things going for it. My daughter spent countless hours creating her own character models and dressing them in various clothes and accessories. Also, the animations for the dance sequences recreate the scenes in which the songs took place.

I'm glad that I did not have to pay full price for this game.

If the game had used the original songs, I'd have given it an additional 2 stars.

Sure, its not the most original game.. or have very good graphics.. and the gameplay is very basic..

That said, that doesn't mean you won't lose the HSM fan in your household for 2 hours a day for the next month! Because sure enough, this is a fun game, and my 8 year old daughter can't get enough of it.

I was actually fairly impressed with the dance pad...for the price of this game, I was expecting something cheaper. I really like how they put the < and > buttons (Back and Start) on the plastic piece at the top of the pad -- which is not how the DDR dance pads are. It makes it more difficult to accidentally hit them, and therefore less annoyances for the over-ambitious dancers in your family (my son, at 6 years old basically just jumps around like a maniac on the pad, yet he somehow manages to beat his sister!)

Anyway, there are times when the dance beats don't really match up with the rythm of the songs -- and more often than not they are matching up to the vocals of the songs - not the beats. I'm not sure why they did that, it makes it feel like you aren't really dancing to the song, just doing some wierd stepping.

It's still worth the [...] shipped from Amazon, and it will certainly brighten your daughter/granddaughter/neice's day!

PS - wifey already played through all 3 difficulties too -- works pretty good for an aerobic exercise!
