  Fun But Tricky Little Chipmunk Game
Review created: 12/11/07

Alvin & the Chipmunks is a rhythm game that tries to drive you insane quickly but is fun for the whole family. You will need both a wii-mote & the nunchuck to play single player, and an extra pair for head to head.

In story mode, each stage has the chipmunks playing 3 songs which must be played though to advance to the next locale.
Rhythm 'stars' flow out from the center of the screen to one of the four corners where a larger star waits as the precision point. If the stars flow to one of the bottom corners you will swing the remotes, if they go to the top you will hold 'b' & swing for right stars and 'z' and swing for left. Miss too many in a row the song ends, but the more you hit perfectly the more combo points you rack up which will unlock new stages and bonus songs.

This seemed easy enough for me, I mean it's a chipmunk game geared towards kids right? I'm 30 and pretty good at rhythm games but was surprised at the challenge of this game. Don't get me wrong, this is a very fun game once you give it like an hour to sink in you can open new stages with ease which will give you more songs to play, but to master the tracks is a bigger task.
The rhythm stars aren't perfect mapped to the beat IMHO. At times they do follow the beat, though they go freestyle a lot of the time reversing patterns and generally trying to frustrate you. This is not a bad thing at all as it's fast pacing will keep players on their toes and their pulse racing.

You can play thru the game in Easy, Med or Hard mode with Easy focusing on just the swinging motion of the remotes which still holds a challenge for experienced rhythm gamers yet is passable and fun for my 4 year old that has never played a rhythm game.

I think this games a blast and has definite replay value.
The soundtrack is filled with pop favorites that most people will recognize from commercials, pop radio & tv shows(Friends) as well as the Chipmunks own Christmas hit all performed by the Chipmunks!

If you're looking for a fun but still challenging alternative to Guitar Hero then this is it. The songs are clean & fun and the game play is great for all ages.

I did have to take off one star because of the cutscenes in between the game levels. The audio of the conversations between Dave & the Chipmunks is horrible and scratchy but is easily bypassed by pressing the A button. Again it's just the cutscenes, Not the songs in gameplay. Those are A+.

I bought this game online for my kids. They are always wanting cool games and the games that mom picks out are usually learning games. My girls loved the fact that I bought a game like Alvin and the Chipmuncks without even playing it. My two oldest girls (8&7) like playing this game very much. Even my three year old loves to dance along with the songs they sing. Very Hip music and fun to dance to. It is easy to play and it is fun trying to unlock all the songs!

This game is okay. Really easy. I beat it. I bought it for my son but its a little advanced for him so I will still keep it though till he can play it. Really good songs on it too. It is kinda like a guitar hero but easier for the kids. I would say go buy it.

Excellent Wii game for our grandchildren. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a great game for younger children but the whole family can play it. It is very active and fun for them.

I bought this for my 8 year old son. It is very hard to play, it took me and my husband days to walk thru the directions and still have a hard time playing. Even my 13 year old says it's to hard to play.

I bought this game as it is family oriented. No foul language or adult situations. Finally a game all can enjoy. We have family game night once a week. This will be one of the highlights.

  Kids Game?
Review created: 10/09/09

Did not play long because of this being a Christmas item, but the game play seemed a little to complicated for the kids. I am a gamer and had problems with the controls. Maybe with practice it is easier.

  Alvin and the Chipmunks big disappointment
Review created: 03/20/09
by:

The game is not easy for little kids to do, and only has one option. There are stars that you have to hit with the remote, and that is it. There is nothing else to the game. The stars get faster and it is boring. My son loves the movie so we were really unhappy that the game is so boring and basically is a rip off for the money that you spend on Wii games.

This game is fun but can be confusing. It takes good corrdination skills and time. After a while your hands may start to hurt. Kids love the songs.

  Alvin and the chipmunks (wii)
Review created: 02/20/09

The game is pointless, there is no real goal.
The game was opened at 4:00 p.m and by 5:00 I was told by my 6, 9, 17,year old sons that the game was junk.
My boys have over 100 games and say this is by far the worst of the bunch!
The graphics are like A game 5 to 10 years old or more,
For your money you would be better off to buy 4 or 5 game cube games,they work fine in the wii, and would cost the same money as this one game!

I was really let down by this game I purchased this for my children and we can't get past the training to complicated. If the designers of the video games are going to target young children they should gear it easier for them to use teenagers would not be geared toward this. I would figure 12 and under. DO NOT BUY

Lousy game, bad rendition of Guitar Hero. My daughter hated it and will not play it. Boring. I would highly not recommend buying this game for any child. It is deceptive at best.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!
