Alvin and the Chipmunks game is a Samba-alike


It would appear from the screenshots that the Wii game based on the nightmarish Alvin and the Chipmunks movie will be a rhythm game in the vein of Samba de Amigo or EyeToy: Groove, in which players position the controllers toward one corner of the screen in time with scrolling icons. Both of those games are pretty good, but they aren't Alvin and the Chipmunks movie games. Much like Alvin, we'd prefer a hula hoop.

Along with some Chipmunks classics (like "The Chipmunk Song" and, uh ...) the game will contain "more than 40 songs" including "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Tricky" and "Shiny Happy People". All Chipmunk-ized. We're so glad that the real Samba game is coming out, so we don't even have to try to play this.
