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 should have been a highly amusing rhythm-action game, but it's ruined by bad control and a flimsy structure. [Issue#19, p.85]

Games Radar
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.

IGN
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, one that's being sold at full price instead of at a discount, no less.

Not worth the money. 10 minutes of Call of Duty 4 beats this whole game.

Awesome M. gave it a10:
Underrated. I felt this game was better then Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Call of Duty 4, and Team Fortress 2 combined with Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time.

Rod R. gave it a0:
This is, by far, the worst game I've ever played. I want to make it clear to everyone: do not buy this game.
