High School Musical: Sing It

High School Musical: Sing It . What time is it? Time for High School Musical 2, the sequel to the Disney Channel smash that aired on Aug. 17, 2007 and became the most-watched basic-cable show ever. School is out, and Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) are looking forward to a summer to remember, but Troy also needs to make bank so he can go to college. As it turns out, Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), the self-proclaimed primo girl of East High, has her eye set on primo-boy Troy, and gets him a job at the country club her parents own. It looks great for Troy when Gabriella and the rest of the Wildcats are hired also, but when he gets preferential treatment from the club manager (Mark Taylor) and others, it puts all of his relationships in hot water.

Everyone’s back from the original movie, including Zac’s buddy Chad (Corbin Bleu), Sharpay’s brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), and Gabriella’s friend Taylor (Monique Coleman). And the songs on the hit soundtrack often parallel the originals and are just as catchy: the Troy-Gabriella duet (“You Are the Music in Me,” which is later Sharpay-ized into a rock version), the sports-flavored hip-hop number (“I Don’t Dance,” but this time on the baseball diamond instead of the basketball court), the Gabriella lament (“Gotta Go My Own Way”), the climactic stage duet (“Everyday”), and the mass-ensemble closer (“All for One”). But the sequel doesn’t just stick to the status quo. Other songs include a flashy opener (“What Time Is It”), Sharpay’s poolside feature (“Fabulous”), a percussive ensemble number (“Work This Out”), and Zac’s solo (“Bet On It”), and the dances are even bigger this time around, relentlessly high-energy and often spectacular. In addition, the “let’s put on a show” angle ! is only a subplot and the romance is now front and center–which means High School Musical has lost a bit of its innocence. But it’s still wholesome viewing for tweens of all ages. Sharp-eyed Disney Channel fans will spot Miley “Hannah Montana” Cyrus as an extra.

Wii Music

Wii Music . When it comes to music and rhythm games, Wii Music stands in a class of its own. Unlike other music games, which penalize players if they don’t play perfectly, Wii Music is a musical playground where there are no mistakes. Here anyone can pick up and master the huge array of instruments available, through simple motions like strumming and drumming. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart’s content. Play faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music.

In Wii Music every band has six members: Two play the main melody, two cover the percussion beats, one covers the bass groove and one uses the song’s chords to support the melody. As a band, the six members often play their special parts at the same time, though each player can jam however and whenever he or she wants. Play all at once. Take turns in the spotlight. Pair up in creative ways throughout the song. You can bring the band to life by yourself, playing one part at a time-or with up to four players. See game mode below:

* Solo Play: When you play by yourself, you can add one part at a time to arrange the whole song exactly how you want. The Tutes are on hand to back up your band in any parts you need filled.
* Multiplayer: When in a band with friends, up to four people can be band members.
* Wii Friends: Using WiiConnect24, you can send your jam videos to Wii Friends who own Wii Music. They can then watch your performance, modify it to their liking and send their jam videos back to you.
