When it comes to video games based on movies, most of them don't really showcase a value for what they are worth. When they do it is rare, but in this case it just misses the makr by a longshot. I loved Alvin & The Chipmunks when they were a cute and funny cartoon series that lasted for several years 1983-1989 on NBC. Sadly though, the feeling of the chipmunks has gone down. Now with a movie based on the classic cartoon series, they have really lost there luster. But, as a video game, they absolutely don't have a prayer, even a music game that really is just for movie fans only.
Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Game brings a newly designed edition of Alvin, Simon & Theodore to the Nintendo DS. Sadly, the game tries to tackle against the bigger music games like Jam Session for the DS, and the hits Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Unfortunately, the game isn't anything new to gamers. As you try to match the moves of the DS Stylus of 40 pop songs, as without any doubt sung in Chipmunk style like Blink 182's All The Small Things. The graphics are nice, but the gameplay doesn't actually shine with vigoarnce at all.
All in all, Alvin & The chipmunks is one of those few games that actually isn't worth its weight in gold or bringing back die hard fans of the original Alvin & The Chipmunks cartoons from years ago. Instead, I actually recommend that if you own a Nintendo DS, get a game that has more meaning like The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. This game will have people saying Why, ALVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watch Alvin and the Chipmunks when i was younger as a cartoon and i loved them!Then I saw the new one and i loved it too! The game is fun but it doesn't vary enough. Love the music, the graphics are good, but u can only play 1-2 levels without getting bored. Other than that it is big fun!
Interactive Soundtrack

While I too miss the 80's/90's cartoon and the new digital "Munks" are cute in their own way, this game lacks the charm of the older ones. It's not so much a game as an interactive soundtrack. The music is good, but other sound to the game has holes like no voice overs or background music for the bland text. And the graphics are as good as can be expected for the DS, however they still are very stiff and repetitive. I wouldn't recommend this game for anyone except the die hard Chipmunk fan and someone under 7 years of age. I don't hate this game, and I find it enjoyable.
