What parents need to know
Parents need to know
that this is a karaoke game which showcases all 10 songs from High School
Musical 3 as well as 15 songs from the first two High School Musical movies.
The songs are shown with the video clips from the movies. It features both solo
and multiplayer modes, making it a fun party game. You can buy this game
bundled with a microphone, or if you already own one for your console, then you
can buy the game as a standalone.However, one of the multiplayer modes (called "Versus") only unlocks when you plug in two microphones.
What's it about?
With DISNEY SING IT:
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR, fans of the High School Musical movies have
an opportunity to sing all 10 of the songs from High School Musical 3: Senior
Year, as well as 15 other songs from the first two movies. But unlike High
School Musical: Sing It, which featured animated versions of the characters
singing, this game using authentic video clips from the three High School
Musical movies.
In this karaoke
game, there is no story, just songs to sing in solo or multiplayer modes. The
words to the songs appear on the bottom of the screen along with a Pitch
Detection Bar. When you sing the words on pitch and for the correct duration,
the bar fills in. Sing correctly for a whole screen and multipliers kick in. At
the end of the song, you get a score based on how well you sang the song. The
game also offers singing lessons with High School Musical star Kelsi (Olesya
Rulin), so that you can practice singing before you compete for score. If you
want to jump right in and just start singing, you can do so by choosing the Quick Play
option which lets you sing alone or in a duet, or challenge someone to a Versus
competition.
Is it any good?
For High School Musical
fans, this is a must-play video game. Because each song shows the video of when
it was sung in the movies, it transports you back to that climatic cinematic moment.
And while this is a game about singing, you don't have to be a great singer to
play. From the start, all of the songs are available to you, so you don't have
to worry about singing well enough to unlock the next song. And you can choose
your level of difficulty which relates to how forgiving the game is as to pitch
deviations. If you choose to sing just one part of a duet, it can get
challenging since that means you may not always be singing the melody.
In the multiplayer
mode, you can opt to sing duets or compete against another competitively. There
is even a team play option which lets up to 8 players compete. And even in the
multiplayer mode, players can choose their own level of difficulty. Disney has
done a good job of presenting loads of options, so that you can play this game
the way you feel most comfortable.
What families can talk about
Parents can talk
about whether playing a singing game makes you more confident to sing in front
of others. By learning to sing the songs, are you more or less impressed with
the actors' ability to sing, dance, and act. Did the singing lessons offered in
the game teach you anything you didn't already know?
