High School Musical
SCORE: 84
The didj version of High School Musical has plenty of characters from
East High. Children between the ages of 8 and 10 can learn musical
forms, melody, rhythm, and fractions from High School Musical. I spent
most of my time in this game helping characters from the High School
Musical franchise.
High School Musical has a lot of bright colors. The artwork of the
characters look sort of like their real life counter parts. The artwork
looks similar to what we see on the Nintendo DS. They do not have a lot
of animations, so that was a bit of a let down. I noticed that the
overwhelming majority of character have wise attire choices.
The High School Musical franchise is known for its music. Songs play in
the background while kids are playing the didj version of High School
Musical. I recognized a few of the songs, and liked what I heard. As I
previously mentioned there is a fair amount of helping others in this
game. Simple things like clean up the backstage area, and take items
back to their owners.
There are some neat little badges to earn, and a suitable length in the
main game. Game customization is also possible through a PC/Internet
connection. Families that have kids in the proper age range who enjoy
High School Musical will find their money well spent on this game
(editor: possession of a didj helps as well).
I was not impressed with the way High School Musical on the didj
controls. Moving around the school is clunking. Using arrows on the
screen, or the 'B' button in combination with the D-pad. If you have
been inside a room before, then you can go there through a map. The
problem with that is many times this game has the player going back and
forth between two rooms. I did enjoy helping others, so that scores
points for High School Musical.
I have always been a fan of music. In fact I have written some of my own
praise and hymns. I appreciate how High School Musical teaches a little
bit about music. There is a lot of arts and music in High School
Musical. I would like to see a sequel to this game.
