What Parents Need to Know
About High School Musical: Makin' the Cut
Parents need to know that this game features songs and characters from two Disney Channel High School Musical movies. While there is a light story showcasing the movies' stars, this game is about playing rhythm puzzles while listening to the movie soundtracks. The content is as clean as the popular tween movies, but keep in mind that this game is part of what Disney does best: churning out all kinds of tie-in products, from the stars' solo CDs to dolls, magnets, etc.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how High School Musical has become a phenomenon. Did you want to buy this because you love the movies? Does all the HSM merchandise ever seem like overkill, or never enough? Do you mind that there isn't much of a story in this game? When you play, is it more fun to compete with yourself for a better grade or against a friend?
