This game is so much fun! you dont automatically get all 30 songs, you win them if you score over a certain limit on the different songs.

You also win the different enviornments, and characters the characters can sing in.

You also get graded like in high school :p throughout the song you get grades, and when you're done you get a final grade.

And i got a pleasent surprise when i went to something called extras and it had videos, interviews with the cast, dance along, and behind the scenes!

All in all a great game if you love HSM as much as i do.
Well worth the money!

We recently purchased the Wii for our 8 and 6 year old (and their parents). The kids love High School Musical 1 and 2 and listen to the soundtrack often. The game therefore seemed like a no-brainer. The game is fun, especially if your kids love the movies and sountracks. The graphics are not great. Music is great--it's the soundtracks from HSM 1 and 2. If your kids like to sing with the soundtracks, they will like it even more with this. Singing on tempo unlocks more songs and your kids can change venues to sing in (cafeteria, rooftop, auditorium, etc). There is nothing challenging about the game. It is simply karaoke. If you are looking for strategy or challenge, look elsewhere. If you are looking for you kids to sing for hours, it's great. Because of its lack of challenge and graphics, I would anticipate older kids will grow bored after a few hours--much more quickly than younger ones.

We bought this for my daughter at Xmas, and she loves it. She has always been into singing, and she has spent many hours with this game. The only beef I have with it is the grading system seems a bit easy. Although my daughter loves getting A+'s, she got kinda bored with getting them every time. But there were some cool features such as song and dress unlocks and what not. She still has her friends come over and play this game with her. If you are like me and judge your Xmas gifts on how long your kids actually play with them, then this game is well worth it.

Excellent Wii game. Both of my daughters (ages 7 and 11) and their friends love singing with the songs and then being told they are a rock star. They love hearing their voices and being able to perform either as a solo or a duet. All the words are provided on the screen so it makes it very easy to sing along.

My niece got this game for Christmas. Thankfully we also got the Hannah Montana Wii game, we just weren't planning on giving it to her until her birthday. We had to give it to her early because of this lackluster game. If you are not musically talented and love karoke, this is not a game for you. She's a smart 8 and can sing a bit. Her friend is a talented singer too. Neither of them liked the game. Said it was too hard, couldn't figure out how to change to other characters and was more of a joke than anything. There is no warm up, introduction or anything. Hannah Montana came out and they loved it. They did the warm up and felt comfortable with the game right away.
I wish before I had purchased the game I had seen a video clip of how the game was played. The warm up is a desperate need for this game.

So here's the deal with this one... I'm a huge HSM fan and I was super excited to get this game and to sing along like the rockstar that I am. However, when you start to choose who you want to be and you start singing.. it automatically gives you the lower octives and harmonies for the male instead of the female.
I know others have said you can kind of tweak it to make you sing either both parts but this should not have to be difficult to sing the part that you want. After my disappointment the first time I played the game, I stopped using it. I dont want to have to trick the game into letting me sing the parts that I should be singing already since I did choose the female characters!
I dont know if I'm just doing it wrong or is this a mistake the gaming software came with that really needs to be fixed?

This game is fun but not as good as the American Idol games. Yes, you can sing duets if you have 2 mics. But, on solo mode, you can only, I repeat ONLY, sing as the male part. You CANNOT sing the female part solo. Now, that's lame in my opinion. So, if you like High School Musical and you are 1)male, 2)female but don't mind singing the male parts or 3)plan to always sing duets, then this game will entertain you. If you thought you were going to rock out as a solo female vocalist, then pass on this one.

Other aspects of the game (graphics, music quality, ease of use) got a rating of "fine" from my wife.

If I were reviewing this software, I would give it one star as it appears that they put this together overnight. However, this is a game for my seven year old daughter, who is a huge HSM fan, so I'm writing the review from her perspective. She thinks that it's just "OK." She has asked me numerous times why the boys in the video game are singing like girls. I had not noticed...but she's right...numerous times the boys' mouths are moving, but a girls voice is coming out (and vice versa). She enjoys the grading system and getting new characters, songs, singing locations, etc. However, she grows rather bored of it after two or three songs and goes back to playing Wii Sports. Since she said it was just, "OK," I'm giving it three stars.

I'm wondering if Santa should have bought her the Hannah Montana game instead.

Wonderful for the HSM fan in your family. It actually "grades" you based on your singing abilities to keep on pitch. You can win and unlock songs from HSM2 and new outfits for the characters. It has been endless fun for our family.

This was so much fun. My 12 year old son and I played this all Christmas morning. He actually played it most of the day. One thing I will suggest is that although you can play the game with just one microphone, it will I'm sure be much more fun with two then you can do duets. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan of the HSM movies.
