MY THOUGHTS

My kids love this game even my son.  I figured my daughters would but I love the fact that my son was so excited to play the game.  They played it a lot the first night we got it and had so much fun.  I have to admit I love hearing the Chipmunks songs both old and new.  I also really love the fact that it makes my kids get up and move their booties ( which is the main reason I got a Wii).  Another great thing is that it features the Chippettes as well as the Chipmunks so both girls and boys can play and you get to pick your favorite out of the six plus dress them up as you earn points.  

The game allows for hours of play and exercise but they won't realize that cause of all the fun they are having.  The game is available where Wii games are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 29.99.  Hurry and get your copy for the kids this Holiday season.  They will definitely love this game and so will you!
