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]
30 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.
20 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, and it's being sold at full price instead of at a discount, no less.

Alvin and the Chipmunks is a terrible, terrible game. Nobody should have to endure the title.
