IGN Gives 1.7/10 to Wii's Alvin, 2/10 to PS2 version

The concept of Alvin and the Chipmunks as a rhythm game totally makes sense, considering that they are a musical group. However, 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, one that's being sold at full price instead of at a discount, no less. If you need a Chipmunk fix, look elsewhere.

well that was predictable...

MK_Red5988d ago

True. Everyone was expecting low scores for this BUT the unexpected thing is for the Wii version to get such a low score and even lower than PS2 one.

Prismo_Fillusion5988d ago

Damn, and I was all set to buy this game.

MK_Red5988d ago

Same here, I wanted to buy Wii just for this game :(
IGN is BIASED. There is GOTY material here!! :)

MK_Red5987d ago

Guess they have a reason: The movie they made the game based on it sucks pretty hard and is way weaker than that other one (Golden Compass).

Alvin and the Chipmunks is gonna win Best Picture at the Oscars =)

PALGN: Alvin and the Chipmunks Review

PALGN writes: "We already gave a bit of an introduction on Brash Entertainment in our review for the dreadful Jumper: Griffin's Story but we'll recap for those who are keen on the company's more kid friendly games. Brash Entertainment is a new publisher which will be focusing solely on movie to game adaptations. While Griffin's Story is the second game from Brash Entertainment Alvin and the Chipmunks was the first game released from the company. Unfortunately Alvin and the Chipmunks is a simply dreadful title as well, and one that's best used as punishment for children, rather than a reward.

Even though a live action film was only released theatrically recently, Alvin and the Chipmunks have a long history. Alvin and the Chipmunks are actually a music group which debuted in the 1950's. Since then we've seen an Alvin and the Chipmunks television series and plenty of merchandise. The live action film wasn't received well critically, but was a financial success. The game sort of takes inspiration from the live action film."

It's not Alvin and the Chipmunks, it's Bioshock 2.

Iamback5907d ago

SurferGuy is full of it, complete BS, hit or miss.

The Dark Knight5907d ago

this is the worst, Indiana jones is coming out with the movie, Doesnt take a F*cking genius to figure that out

TnS5907d ago

The movie is coming on May 22, 2008. She is saying that the game won't be out in 2008. Eurogamer also says this: http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

The Dark Knight5907d ago (Edited 5907d ago )

untill i see lucasarts say the exact words, "its not coming in 08" i dont belive surfer guy or girl. official statements always help :) its always and insider, c'mon its probably some fat bloke who made crap up

marcellizot5907d ago

I disagree, I think surfer girl is great fun, sure her posts are hit and miss but at least they are credible more often than not. She is much better than someone like Gamesblow, has anyone been on that guy's site lately, what a joke?

A 98% approval rating? Good one, that will be why he has so many people on his ignore list. The guy is a fool.

Gazman5907d ago

Why does this crap always get approved if its not surfergirl its someone else with rumors or random googling. This person has no creds whatsoever. Hell even I could begin one it could go like this

Hi i'm mountain climbing hermaphrodite and while typing in random words in google I found this rumor 'GTA5 will be a ATARI 2600 Exclusive'
