There sometimes can really be such a thing that is too much. That has been the case in the music industry with artists like Britney Spears Rihanna, who have all been just about hype and overexposure, and not even any bit of heart. That sadly has been the same thing with High School Musical for the movies. It really has been too much of a franchise lately. While we’ve seen too much from Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Cordon Bleu, the franchise has also shown show much cracks, that makes us say that it has to go. Not only as a franchise, but Disney has made so many lackluster games based on the movie series that it is just sickening. Now they just want you to say dance to the Wii.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year for the Nintendo Wii tries to capitalize on the overexposure of the Disney movie franchise, that feels like it is lacking heart, and something for the Wii that we’ve played before. The gameplay is not anything spectacular for gamers, and for those who’ve seen just too much of the movie series. The object of the game is that you play with the regular characters from the film, and try to move you way to the dance beats of the movie. While the graphics aren’t anything special, the gameplay feels like it lacks anything out of the ordinary. After awhile, not only d you get bored with the game, you just feel like it is just something that should be tossed away in the garbage.
All in all, Disney has really cashed in too much with the High School Musical franchise, and honestly have made some of the worst video games that have been out there for a long time. nly hard core fans of the movie will be interested in High School Musical 3: Senior Year. But, as a game, it really feels like we’ve been danced out. All in all, if you really want a game to dance to, I’d suggest you buy Dance Dance Revolution instead.

Don’t believe any positive reviews….they are written by the company that produced this game. This is the worst game you could ever buy. Your kids will hate it!!! It doesn’t work at all….none of the Wii controls work and it will frustrate your kids for the 10 minutes they will waste on it before throwing it aside forever.
This is a pure example of just trying to get your money because of a popular movie, but the product has the quality of a cheap 1970’s attempt at computer games. The graphics are a joke, the characters have nothing to do with the movie. They couldn’t even afford the real soundtrack, so it is done by “The Sound Alikes”. The directions were written by a teenager with no writing skills and no understanding of the game. But since the game doesn’t work and is useless, the directions are a good match for it.
I will return it, or burn it, and will invest some of my time writing reviews to warn others against this cheap garbage that rips off kids and parents.

There’s nothing particularly wrong with this game, except that it is a pretty far stretch to call what you do in the game “dancing”.
You move your arms about, trying to time your motion with a very finicky motion meter. (Hard for younger kids to get it right by anything more than chance.)
The music is from HS Musical, of course, and you can make a character and see him or her dancing on screen. Choices you have about look and costume of characters are limited, though, and they actually look somewhat gruesome.
The biggest problem is that what they are doing on screen has little or nothing to do with what you are supposed to do with your hands. And the hand motions are not even that clearly timed to the beat of the songs.
All that having been said, the kids did want to give it a try. Shows the power of the HS musical brand.
But if you like HS musical, stick with the karaoke Wii games (although those are not the best karaoke games around either, sadly). If you want dancing, stick with Dance Dance Revolution.

My girls were so excited to be among the first to get this great game. The dancing is fun, and it is different enough from the other HSM wii game that they love to play both!
