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.

But, and I think I'm asking for the entire world, can you eat poo?

Dear JC
Don't ever sully the glorious name of Samba di Amigo by comparing it to stuff like this
thank you

Oh hell no! Eye Toy: Groove was the biggest waste of money. The game portion was so-so, but the menus and interface were the worst!

Oh good lord. They're doing an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie?
OH GOOD LORD. THEY'RE HAVING ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS SING "SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE"???!??

This is wrong on so many levels - Alvyn and the chipmunks started out as an Xmas novelty song almost 40 years ago and that is exactly how it should have remained.
