This game I never expected to be good, and yet it was worse than I thought it would be. The Story is the same as the movie, which is not really a good thing, the film this is based on sucks so, there already wasn't much hope for this game. The Characters are the same as the movie, which is also not a good thing, the Characters from the movie are nothing to talk about, except for Robbie Ray he I actually find to be a really funny and caring character. The Graphics are bad even for the game it's trying to be, UGLY. The Gameplay consists of many types including a rhythm game, where you have to occasionally move your arm in a certain way, move left and right to have the buttons land in the bright area, hit right button at right time and move to the right string to press buttons at the right time, these are not interesting, dance moves don't match Hannah making it feel pointless, the singing parts only have some words to click on and the others are not only boring but pointless because we are supposed to play as Hannah so if it's not fun then it's pointless and boring, other types are walking around collecting stuff you want and need, riding your horse to places very easily, so it feels like a chore, go and do carnival games which are either boringly slow toss games, horse racing where you shoot the targets to help your horse get closer to the end, yeah you don't choose your horse, and a frog throwing game where you can throw the frogs on the middle flower since it only spins around and not moves around, or you can customize Hannah, it's not bad but not much variety either for a popstar, yeah this game is just doing them, not thrilling. The Music is from the movie, and the Sounds are there and there's nothing else to them. This game is even worse than the movie it's based on and that says a lot.
Honest to god this game kinda fucking sucks. I got this game for my 8th birthday and holy shit i finished it in 3 hours which is impressive because i was really stupid. Also i remember the game rhythms section was always slightly off on the ds which pissed me off so bad you have no idea, little 8 year old eskie punched many stuffed animals that night.
As someone who loves music rhythm games I was curious how this game was. It's very easy if you're good at rhythm games and have some familiarity with the music, I've gotten 5/5 stars on every song. You can still get a 5/5 rating with a few mistakes because the game is generous (it is for kids and pre-teens after all). I got most of the trophies form just playing normally. If you want to go full platinum you have to do some grinding and redo a horseback riding mini game a few times. The one thing that's preventing me of getting the platinum are 2 mini game trophies. One that needs me to do it perfectly and another that requires 3 other people to play with you (offline).
