Hannah Montana: Music Jam

The adventure takes place in the world of Disney's Hannah Montana television series. You become Miley Stewart, the high school alter ego of pop star Hannah Montana, who decides to learn to play all the instruments she will use in her music videos. Learning to play lead, rhythm, and bass guitars, as well as the drums, become Mini games within the story. Likewise, you put together Hannah's music videos using the backdrops, lights, dance moves, clothing, and songs that you earn during the adventure.

In the Creative Play mode, you can compose songs by laying down four musical tracks for rhythm, lead, and bass guitars, as well as drums. The software combines your tracks to produce a song. Innovative programming provides guitar chords that sound good together, so that the composing is simple enough for even novice musicians. In addition to composing, the game also gives you to a music video studio in which to create your own video using either your own music or the music of Hannah Montana. Even better is the ability to jam with others who own the game. Up to four friends can play together, each using their DS as an instrument; and their jam session can be saved as a song. For Hannah Montana fans, this software is a must. And it will be interesting to budding musicians as well.
