Product Description
Includes Microphone
Express yourself through music with an all-new karaoke twist where you can choose your favourite "High School Musical" character and sing all of the songs from "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2". Debuting as one of the first video games to have a microphone on the Wii platform, "High School Musical: Sing It!" features motion-captured-choreography from the original movie’s dance routines and offers two play modes. In story mode, players live the movies performing songs beginning from ""Start of Something New" to "We’re All in this Together" and "What Time Is It?." In party mode, friends compete karaoke-style against each other. Players can choose their favourite backdrop and belt out solos or duets of approximately 30 hit songs, including popular tunes from other familiar Disney Channel favourites.

I really did think the 3-D animated singstar vesion of HSM would be a great game and a great hit. But it really doesn't seem that way. The graphics are jerky and the game often freezes. Also it doesn't actully have the real voices of the stars, which is a let down. It's not a very exiting game either, and it's only really suitable for a sleep over but not really a family game or a 1 player.
Thank you for reading.

High School Musical: Sing It is a fairly good game with some replay value and nice extras (like dance lessons and cast interviews). One USB microphone is included, although a second is required for effective two-player play.
The main story mode takes you through the story of the first movie, narrated by Kelsi, singing the songs in sequence. You'll play that once and then mostly use Quick mode and Party mode. Getting high points unlocks additional songs, characters, costumes and styles which can be used to create a custom character.
As with every movie spin-off, some sacrifices have clearly been made to get it to market quickly. A few of the niggles are:
- The menu options are very small and it is difficult to select them quickly with the Wii remote
- Text entry is ludicrous - rather than displaying all the letters on screen and pointing them out, you instead have to point to small left and right arrows to scroll through letters and select them one at a time.
- While you can select which part of a song you wish to sing (e.g. Troy or Gabriella in "Breaking Free"), the parts are only described as "Part 1", "Part 2" or "mix", rather than specifying the character(s).
- There is no indication whether you are supposed to be singing harmony or melody at any given time.
However, this game has got my partner, who is anti-HSM, interested in singing and playing, and I think it'll have the same effect for many others.

I would agree with the comments the others make about the poor graphics and the dodgy singing, but I have 2 girls who love high school musical - and they think this is the best game they have ever played. They absolutely love it. If you are looking for a great game then I would say go for something like Boogie - but if you have HSM fans in the house and are looking for a great Christmas present then I would say this ticks all the boxes.

Fabulous!
This is the BEST Wii game I have. I agree that the graphics could be better, and I wish they put in the voices of the real cast,so that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. Read more
