Our Opinion:

Gigi: "I like that I get to pick which chipmunk I get to play! My favorite is Brittney! I just love dressing her up! I think it's a little bit hard for me. Probably the hardest game I own. I only have four. But I do like making it dance and I love the little songs in the chipmunk voices!!! I like changing the sounds of it. But I do not like is that they make a picture on the ball, and I am supposed to make it- but sometimes it is too hard for me. my mommy said this game is ages 10+ and I thought I would be able to do it, since I am almost 7, but I do like playing it.. just a little hard. I end up playing other games instead.

Sooo... we had the Hubby play it, here's what he had to say:

Noah: "It's neat that you can change the characters outfits. I can see where kids could really enjoy this game. The game features very popular songs, that adults and children alike would enjoy. I would much rather hear her in the backseat of the car with this game, than some of the other bland repetitive tunes that pay as the back drop for other games!!! You draw  a line/symbol/pattern to get points as they sing. Then you have to switch over to 3 different characters and put the different shapes that each one has to get points. You want points because you have to have enough stars to unlock the next song. Once I figured out how to do it, it wasn't hard at all. You can get fast paced when you have all three characters having symbols at the same time, which is probably why it is rated for ages 10+. I think that Giana would appreciate more if they had customization for the outfits, or outfits available. It's pretty basic- I just wish there was more content than just playing the sings, perhaps more story-line or interactive worlds? I think this game is well suited for children, if perhaps a bit noneducational, still really fun! I give it 4 stars! (Out of five!)
