  • Despite its flaws, many players find joy in the gameplay and the quirky elements, such as personality quizzes and behind-the-scenes footage.
  • The game suffers from significant technical issues, including a broken save system that frustrates players.
  • Gameplay mechanics are poorly designed, with awkward controls and rhythm patterns that do not align well with the music.

  • music
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the High School Musical rhythm game is a nostalgic highlight, featuring a robust tracklist from all three movies that resonates well with fans. However, players note that the rhythm gameplay can be inconsistent, with patterns often failing to align naturally with the songs, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these gameplay shortcomings, the game is seen as a love letter to the franchise, offering enjoyable music and customization options for dedicated fans.

    • “The rhythm gameplay is average at best, but the tracklist packs a punch featuring songs from all three High School Musical movies.”
    • “With music from all three movies, in addition to extras like behind-the-scenes footage, this is truly a love letter to the High School Musical fan base that more than makes up for its average rhythm gameplay.”
    • “The songs are amazing, each one getting better and better than the last.”
    • “It's a little weird not hearing the official versions of the songs considering it's an official game made by Disney, but still.”
    • “The patterns also don’t follow the rhythm or beats of any of the songs at all; it is just random blobs you have to press as they snail their way out towards the receptors.”
    • “The order of songs in the set lists leaves a bit to be desired - I wish the songs were grouped by movie or something instead of all mixed together.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews are mixed, highlighting awkward controls with no customization options, a confusing save system, and inconsistent rhythm mechanics. While the rhythm gameplay is deemed average, the strong tracklist and engaging elements like quizzes and combat contribute positively to the experience. Overall, despite some technical flaws and gameplay issues, many players find enjoyment in the game, especially for fans of the High School Musical franchise.

    • “I definitely give this game a 10/10 for the amazing gameplay, the quirky quizzes, and finally letting me share a dance with Gabriella!”
    • “The gameplay is engaging, the combat is so satisfying, the story is one of the most tragic and beautiful things I’ve ever experienced.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and easy to pick up, and the game has a good soundtrack (for the most part).”
    • “The controls are awkward and have no option to change them. There's an entire mechanic that doesn't work because of the lack of motion controls, and the save system requires extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the game to figure out, as the system was made with an SD card in mind.”
    • “I also feel the need to mention that the actual gameplay sometimes has you going to the rhythm of the background track of a song and sometimes has you going to the rhythm of the vocals. It doesn't tell you which one at any given time and will switch when it feels like it.”
    • “The gameplay is immaculate, but the only issue within the game is that any progress you make just doesn't save...”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a traditional story mode, featuring only a few songs accompanied by low poly dance scenes that players can't fully appreciate due to gameplay demands. While some characters, like Ryan, are portrayed negatively, the overall narrative is described as tragic and beautiful, enhancing the engaging and satisfying combat experience.

    • “The gameplay is engaging, the combat is so satisfying, the story is one of the most tragic and beautiful things I've ever experienced.”
    • “There is no story mode, just a few songs with some low-poly dance scenes that you can't even really watch because you have to keep your eyes on the sides of the screen to hit the notes.”
    • “She constantly belittles Troy and his crew, making some hideous statements about Troy's parents throughout the story.”
    • “- Ryan – the true villain of the story.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews; while it was originally designed for the Wii, leading to some outdated elements, players have reported frequent crashes and poor overall performance. However, some users noted that it runs smoothly on the Steam Deck, indicating that performance may vary by platform.

    • “I played this on the Steam Deck, and it ran smoothly.”
    • “I also feel as though it would be wrong to not mention that this game was very much made and optimized for the Wii, and there are remnants of that fact scattered throughout this game.”
    • “This game is also incredibly poorly optimized and will crash frequently.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the game evokes deep emotional responses, often surpassing their real-life experiences, highlighting its powerful storytelling and character development.

    • “This game has made me feel emotions I never expected to experience.”
    • “The story touched my heart and left a lasting impact on me.”
    • “I found myself deeply connected to the characters and their struggles.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received negative feedback, with users noting poor quality and a potential lock at 30 fps, limiting refresh rate options. Despite these issues, the gameplay remains enjoyable, suggesting that while the visuals may disappoint, the overall experience can still be worthwhile, especially at a discounted price.

    • “The graphics are awful, and I think the game is locked at 30 fps because there was no option to change the refresh rate. However, the gameplay is fun and easy to pick up, and the game has a good soundtrack (for the most part). I wouldn't pay full price for this game, but it's definitely worth buying if it goes on sale.”
