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!

High School Musical Sing It

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.

The girls love to sing along to this game. Anyone who likes high school musical will love this game. It doesn't matter if you sing well or not the game calculates the pitch so once they learn how to do that they will score an A all the time. It is fun to watch the girls sing.

Entertaining but a little quirky

I'll echo a lot of what's been said - graphics are just okay, menus are touchy to navigate, and certain features/ways of getting around are not obvious. My 5 year old still loves it - she can't quite read yet but has the songs memorized (but it would help if the child is old enough to read well enough to keep up with the lyrics).

One tip for getting to sing the right part - it appears that the player gets the same part whether they are a boy or a girl. If the right part for you is not that part (and it looks like it usually is the first voice you hear), then pick Duet mode, name one of the built-in profiles as the player, and put yourself in as the profile for the duet. Since both profiles get the same score, this works out okay. But I think you still end up having to sing both voices.

Example - my daughter wanted to sing "Summertime" but ended up with Troy's voice - a little funny with the camera focused on her avatar singing and his voice coming out! We went back, named Troy as the player character, and put my daughter's profile (based on Gabriella) as the duet partner. We also picked "Corridors" for the venue. Voila, worked really well.

UPDATE: Got this info off a post at GameSpot - after you select the song you get to the screen where you set mic volume - if you look above the mic volume you'll see "Part 1" - if you click on the character name to the left of this to select it, you can then cycle between "Part 1," "Part 2," and "Mix." I'm not 100% sure exactly all it's doing, but it should at least let you pick a mode where the right voices are mapped to the right characters.

Four stars (maybe 3) if only because they could have done a somewhat better job making things work better.

My seven year old says that it's, "OK"

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.

Qwirky, not that much fun

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.

Off the hook!!!

I'm a 10 year old girl who really loves this karaoke like game.
The graphics are not very good. One example is Troy looks like his nose is cut off - making him look like Michael Jackson with all his nose surgeries. When I was singing with Sharpay my brother came in and asked who that was - bad graphics.

You are unable to unlock songs, styles and people by singing well. They have all the songs from both the High School Musicals.

They have the story line with the songs for the first H.S.M. but just the songs for the second movie.

I have really enjoyed singing with this. I would advise any fan of H.S.M. to get this fun sing-along.

:)

It's OK

I guess the hype for this was too much. When my 5 year old received it she loved it but it was annoying that you really couldn't figure out who was supposed to sing when you played with two players. She didn't really ask to play it as much as I thought she would. She said "that's all you do? is there anything else?" I guess we both expected there to be...well...more to it. Don't get me wrong, it's cute and if you want to just sing all the songs then get it! I guess I wasn't aas impressed as I thought I would be.

Lots of fun for any HSM Fan

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.

Neices went bonkers....

I got this for 2 of my neices and I never heard so much screaming...they play this for hours. Can't go wrong with High School Musical. It actually can tell if you sing the right words or not...very fun. Kinda like a little girls version of don't forget the lyrics...
