I would fully recommend this game to people who know a little one who loves music, and is just starting to get into the world of video gaming.

It's essentially a 30 quid mini-game. [Jan 2008, p.99]

Though largely inoffensive in its sloppiness, Alvin and the Chipmunks amounts to a forgettable budget title priced like a premium release this holiday season - as if you needed another reason to abstain from it.

When you can't fail a song, your character models don't even seem to be performing while tracks are playing in the background, and there's no impact on how the Chipmunks play, you realize that this is a weak attempt at cashing in on the upcoming movie, and it's being sold at full price instead of at a discount, no less.

SUE E. gave it a2:
I bought this game for my six year old grandson, who thinks it's "okay"; however, compared with other games he has I personally think its cheap and rubbishy. Certainly not worth £19.99. Visually its very disappointing. Kids like lots of colour; this was like watching a line drawing with three 3d characters plonked in the middle (to keep you happy I suppose). I feel cheated. In a word - rubbish
