 Fun But Tricky Little Chipmunk Game Dec 06, 2007
By Justin Guild
"Big Tommy 2 Fish"
Review is for the Wii version:
Alvin & the Chipmunks is a rhythm game that tries to drive you insane quickly but is fun for the whole family. You will need both a wii-mote & the nunchuck to play single player, and an extra pair for head to head.
In story mode, each stage has the chipmunks playing 3 songs which must be played though to advance to the next locale.
Rhythm 'stars' flow out from the center of the screen to one of the four corners where a larger star waits as the precision point. If the stars flow to one of the bottom corners you will swing the remotes, if they go to the top you will hold 'b' & swing for right stars and 'z' and swing for left. Miss too many in a row the song ends, but the more you hit perfectly the more combo points you rack up which will unlock new stages and bonus songs.
This seemed easy enough for me, I mean it's a chipmunk game geared towards kids right? I'm 30 and pretty good at rhythm games but was surprised at the challenge of this game. Don't get me wrong, this is a very fun game once you give it like an hour to sink in you can open new stages with ease which will give you more songs to play, but to master the tracks is a bigger task.
The rhythm stars aren't perfect mapped to the beat IMHO. At times they do follow the beat, though they go freestyle a lot of the time reversing patterns and generally trying to frustrate you. This is not a bad thing at all as it's fast pacing will keep players on their toes and their pulse racing.
You can play thru the game in Easy, Med or Hard mode with Easy focusing on just the swinging motion of the remotes which still holds a challenge for experienced rhythm gamers yet is passable and fun for my 4 year old that has never played a rhythm game.
I think this games a blast and has definite replay value.
The soundtrack is filled with pop favorites that most people will recognize from commercials, pop radio & tv shows(Friends) as well as the Chipmunks own Christmas hit all performed by the Chipmunks!
If you're looking for a fun but still challenging alternative to Guitar Hero then this is it. The songs are clean & fun and the game play is great for all ages.
I did have to take off one star because of the cutscenes in between the game levels. The audio of the conversations between Dave & the Chipmunks is horrible and scratchy but is easily bypassed by pressing the A button. Again it's just the cutscenes, Not the songs in gameplay. Those are A+.

 This game is bad - really bad - even for the young ones! Dec 27, 2007
By jamie
I cannot believe anyone would give this game a good rating, unless they've never played it. My 7 year old was so excited to get this game and even he immediately became aware of how lame it is. He paid $50 for it out of his Christmas gift card for GameStop. So sad. All you do is the same repetitive movement of clicking and shaking the WII remote when the star reaches the circle - this is THE EXACT SAME MOVEMENT as you move from level to level. The chipmunks are playing in the background. You never get to interact and there is no real story line. You don't even have to do it on beat so there is no real rhythm to it either. Also the cut scenes are cartoon stills with no movement, just voices. It's shockingly uncreative and repetitive - there is no fun or challenge or motivation to move to the next level, it's the same as the previous one. I'm suprised a video company can get away with producing this kind of toy. I will never buy a video game created by Sensory Sweep or Brash Entertainment again.

Fun Game Dec 29, 2008
By Georjann Lee
"G Lee"
My 2 year old son LOVES the chipmunks movie so I got this for him and his sister (and me too), The first time playing it was a little confusing. I tried it again and did the instructional part. That was hard. When I went into the story game, I figured it out. It DOES go on the beat for about 90% of the time. The songs are cute and up to date. I can't stop playing it cause it's cute and fun!! I think I may get guitar hero for my husband for V-day or something. This is like a beginner/introduction to guitar hero I think.

Fun game for the whole family! Jan 12, 2008
By G. Montreuil
Once you get past the chipmunks singing, the game is a blast! I bought it on sale and did not have a clue what it was about. I thought my 3yr old would get a kick out it. Once we started playing his 13yr old brothers took over. They have been waiting for to get Guitar Hero III and this has filled the wait.
The songs are actually great...regardless of the chipmunk singing! And you get so into the drumming that you barely notice. It is also entertaining to watch.
The head to head duel is a lot of fun. I hope that some one creates a Drummer Hero!
It show cases why the WII is so innovative, and fun for the whole family. I would like to see you physically drum on PSIII or Xbox!!

 Okay game but not what I was expecting Dec 28, 2008
By A. Barney
I bought this game when it was on sale several weeks ago for[...] I bought it as a Christmas present for my 4-year-old who LOVES Alvin and the Chipmunks. Unfortunately, it is a little advanced for him. I had a hard enough time trying to figure it out ... and I'm still on the easy level which only involves matching 2 of the 4 stars.
Unfortunately, I am finding that many Wii games I would think should be on a young enough level for my 4-year-old are too difficult.
It REALLY bugs me that the stars don't hit their target on beat a lot of the time. So it can be a bit a frustrating when you're getting into the rhythm of the song and the stars don't match.
I do, however, enjoy playing this game. And my husband and I love the Chipmunks singing and the songs they sing. So it's not annoying to us.
It's definitely worth the [...] I paid for it. And is a nice way to start our Wii game collection (we just got a Wii for Christmas).
I don't think I'd pay [...] or more for it though.
*** Edited to add that although my son can't play, he enjoys watching us play. He picks up his guitar and strums along with the music while dancing to the beat. On several ocassions he's asked me or my husband to play the game so he can dance and sing along too!
