f you're a High School Musical fan, this is a pretty good package in terms of song selection, presentation, and gameplay. IGN could've done with more songs and such, but the $30 price tag for the game and mic/$20 price tag for just the game is cheaper than most karaoke titles. If you're just looking to sing the occasional Vanessa Hudgens jam, this title is a solid purchase even though it won't floor you at any point.

That's one features of Live that I really enjoy. Sure, in some cases, the prices are ridiculous (see: Oblivion, in which a digital version of the original game is priced higher than the disc GOTY edition), but there is something to be said for the convenience of just having something ready to play on your hard-drive. Especially now that both Sony and MS are shipping their consoles with 200+ gigs of storage.
That's plenty of room for games.

But I found it a fun solo game nonetheless.
A karaoke style sing-a-long featuring songs from all three of the HSM flicks, the game ticks all the boxes in terms of happy visuals, cheery menus, and what appeared to me to be very lenient scoring. Perfect for a tween girl (or guy) who is a fan of the series and is keen to show-off just how well they can harmonize with the aforementioned Zac (Troy in the movies), the brunette girl, the bitchy blonde one, or the guy who is a bit camp but who never has his sexuality probed any further. Play choices for the fan going solo include picking a single song, lining up a set list of up to five to sing in a row in gig mode, or the most terrifying of choices, "You're on Your Own" in which the song plays with no words or pitch bar and you're left to warble though blindly hoping that your score at the end of the three minutes isn't too atrocious."
Gamasutra:
Disney's Interactive Media division, which handle's the media giant's video game operations, saw a 17 percent second quarter year-over-year drop in revenue to $129 million, but operating losses were relatively unchanged from last year.
