There are 6 levels or episodes, each of which is split into two elements: wandering around the town where the Jonas' live, completing tasks and the like, before ending with you completing a guitar-based rhythm-action mini-game. All of the songs are new for the game and once you've unlocked them, you'll be able play them on request.
As with the Guitar Hero games, the rhythm-action part works as notes drop down the DS screen onto your guitar, spread across four columns. What you have to do is select the correct column using the D-pad - there's one column for each direction, up, down, left and right. Then with your stylus, you have to strum on the guitar's string area when the falling note passes through.

"The life of a Disney pop-rock boy band is tough with limos, tour buses, jets, and screaming fans while your parents are trying to get you to live a normal life. At least, that is the premise behind Disney Channel's sit-com Jonas and their Nintendo DS game from Disney Interactive."
Every friggin cartridges and boxes of this game should be gathered together and destroyed for once and for all...
Ultimately Jonas is just boring. The levels are repetitive hallways, the mini-games aren't challenging or engaging, and there are only a few songs in it, with a weak rhythm game attachment. There are a ton of Jonas Brothers related gifts you could be getting for that tween girl on your list, but Jonas should not be one of them.

Crispy Gamer writes: "The last Jonas Brothers song I heard -- well, the first Jonas Brothers song I heard -- was when I loaded Disney Jonas on my DS. While three creepy cartoon teens stared at me from the screen, an able up-tempo pop ditty asked me if I was "ready to rock and roll." Apparently I was supposed to "bust my move" because everyone was "in the groove."
I am sure this is supposed to make me feel hopelessly old and out of touch with the new generation. But frankly, it just made more curious."
