We’ve had enough High School Musical posts for one day, and I need to follow up Soul Calibur Legends with something good. So I picked Hannah Montana.
Despite what you’re probably thinking with this being a licensed Disney property and a kids game, the buzz is especially good for this game. Mark Bozon, who usually comes down on bad games pretty hard, seems to very much enjoy Hannah Montana: Music Jam as much as any other music game out there. Most of the time you see bad games with licensed properties slapped on to sell copies, but here we seem to have a great game with a property slapped on to sell even more copies!
Fact sheet and screens are after the break. Don’t you wish you were on the cover of a video game or three when you were 14? Then again, it’d probably be fun to have Billy Ray Cyrus for a dad as well.
Overview
The latest game based on the hit Disney Channel series, “Hannah Montana,” Hannah Montana: Music Jam, transports girls and tweens into the exciting and sometimes crazy world of Miley Stewart and her alter ego Hannah Montana. Players adventure out as Hannah or Miley, and develop their musical talents, coordinate high fashions and live out their dreams of becoming a pop star in Hannah’s greatest musical challenge yet. Players enter the Music Jam Video competition and compete against Savannah Star – a rising new singer out to challenge Hannah – at the same time as a cool new transfer student, Josie Moore, seems to be stealing all of Miley’s friends. To help her win the competition, players use their Nintendo DS touch screen to master the guitar and drums. In a mix of adventure and creative modes, players control Hannah/Miley as she composes her Music Jam Video entries, keeps her friends happy, and in the end, learns a little something about what it means to be a real star.Key Features
