 A little disappointed May 19, 2008

I would have to say that I was a little disappointed with this game. I bought it for my 4 1/2 year old who can't seem to stay on the stage. I guess for the amount that I paid it's OK. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone, if they want to try it, rent it first! Listening to them sing the songs is cute at first but very annoying after a while! I was really disappointed with the repetative and weak graphics. I would say that this game is good for a child's hand/eye coordination and that's about it.
Too hard March 24, 2008
I bought this for a 4 year old, he gets very frustrated with it and no longer wants to play. I was thinking this was more on the lines of the Hannah Montana game, you just have to do the arm moves no buttons to push with certain shapes. This game you have to hold buttons for the top and release for the bottom. I'm sure with practice my son would get the hang of it but if you miss the beat the game ends and you have to start over. He just doen't have the patience. Looks like alot of fun, but I would say it's for older kids with more hand eye control.
 Fun game for the whole family! January 12, 2008

Once you get past the chipmunks singing, the game is a blast! I bought it on sale and did not have a clue what it was about. I thought my 3yr old would get a kick out it. Once we started playing his 13yr old brothers took over. They have been waiting for to get Guitar Hero III and this has filled the wait.
The songs are actually great...regardless of the chipmunk singing! And you get so into the drumming that you barely notice. It is also entertaining to watch.
The head to head duel is a lot of fun. I hope that some one creates a Drummer Hero!
It show cases why the WII is so innovative, and fun for the whole family. I would like to see you physically drum on PSIII or Xbox!!
 really not fun January 1, 2008
This defines the word unfun. It's frustratingly hard to learn. Once you get it down, then it quickly becomes extremely repetitous. The kids had so much fun with the movie, that they wanted the game. They were very disappointed with this game. Really, really unfun. If you want a good rhythm type game, the dancing mini games in Raving Rabbids are a lot of fun.
This game is bad - really bad - even for the young ones! December 27, 2007

I cannot believe anyone would give this game a good rating, unless they've never played it. My 7 year old was so excited to get this game and even he immediately became aware of how lame it is. He paid $50 for it out of his Christmas gift card for GameStop. So sad. All you do is the same repetitive movement of clicking and shaking the WII remote when the star reaches the circle - this is THE EXACT SAME MOVEMENT as you move from level to level. The chipmunks are playing in the background. You never get to interact and there is no real story line. You don't even have to do it on beat so there is no real rhythm to it either. Also the cut scenes are cartoon stills with no movement, just voices. It's shockingly uncreative and repetitive - there is no fun or challenge or motivation to move to the next level, it's the same as the previous one. I'm suprised a video company can get away with producing this kind of toy. I will never buy a video game created by Sensory Sweep or Brash Entertainment again.
