Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    This is a fun way to experiment with creating pop music. And you can do with friends as well.
  • Messages:

    Miley is threatened by her best friend's attention to a new girl, but she handles it well by trying to get to know the new friend. She works hard at balancing friends and her singing career. One small negative is that Miley and her brother try to do something nice for her father, and to avoid spoiling the the surprise, she lies to him to get something from him.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness :

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    There is a lot of shopping built-in to the storyline. Hannah Montana is a popular Disney brand.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Hannah Montana: Music Jam

Parents need to know that this game is based on the Disney television show Hannah Montana. And while players assume the dual identity of Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana in a story about trying to balance fame and friends, this video game is innovative because of how it introduces music games into the story. It is also exciting because with it, kids can compose their own pop music, and even jam with friends who also have the game.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how Miley felt threatened when her best friend, Lilly, made a new friend. How do you handle a transfer student who arrives at your school? Since part of the gameplay involves dressing Hannah in pop-star outfits, how important is fashion in your life? Why is fashion such a big part of a celebrity's life? Which did you enjoy more: composing your own music or making music with others?
