High School Musical: Sing It Bundle with Microphone
My kids play/sing this every single day! It can be a bit annoying at times, but the kids are having a GREAT TIME playing/singing. My kids bond over this and invite their friends over to sing...it's fun and they have a lot of laughs over it.

If your child likes to sing..........

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.

Kids find it fun

I purchased this for my 6 and 3 year old. The game is pretty tricky to navigate thru but after a few days my six year old was able to figure out how to pick out her own songs, stage, etc. If your kids like singing and High School Musical you cannot go wrong.

lots of family fun

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
