Good game with decent variety and few flaws 
2008-08-03
I am writing this review based on my 7-year old daughter's use of the game and my involvement when she needs my help. Initially this game proved very frustrating for her, as the Wii controls just never seem to be accurate enough to understand what you're doing, and sometimes the indicated on-screen action is not clear enough. It takes some time to find the exact motion that works for the indicated motion. So early on, this resulted in a lot of frustration for everybody.
After two or three tries, however, things started to change. Once my daughter figured out the motions, she actually started enjoying the "dance" sequences. This game is nothing more than a rhythm game, with the exception that, instead of button mashing, you replicate the indicated motions that appear on-screen. The better your timing, the better your score, and the more fans and money you earn. Some of the movements are tightly timed, requiring extremely quick transitions from one hand to the other. However, this is good because I think it teaches young children eye-to-hand coordination, forces them to look ahead to the next several movements, and teaches them a bit about timing and rhythm. There are also harder difficulties.
The music in the game is excellent. You play along with the actual studio recordings of the songs, and the sound quality is near-CD quality. Most of the voice-acting appears to be "sound-alikes" and not the actual performers from the show, although in some cases it is difficult to tell. There are some interesting cut-scenes between the cities you visit, which include some of the same campy comedy present in the show, and even a laugh-track. The computer-animated performances are interesting to watch. Even my wife watches the "performances" as my daughter plays.
The game includes a shopping component which integrates with the back-stage activities and performances. Whatever is purchased from the stores can be worn by Hannah in the game, even during the performances. The only thing I don't agree with -- everything costs the same, exactly "one shopping bag", which I refer to as "a dollar". Everything costs the same, from earrings to jeans, but I think it would be a better idea if things cost different amounts, to force young minds to "budget". The game makes it too easy to buy everything. This is my only complaint about the game.
Overall, this is a good game for young girls. It passes the time, gets them moving, and teaches them a thing or two about coordination and rhythm. For the cost, it will be a welcome addition to your Wii collection, and should have substantial replay value for quite some time.
EASY AND FUN 2008-06-22
Just purchased this Hannah Montana Game for $18.50 on sale at ToyRUS. It is easy to play. You have to perform at concerts, and then earn points to purchase clothing and shoes. I have a girl with a short attention span, and she just played it for hours. If she can stay still and play for hours, then it's a hit cause she rarely ever stays still. The boys wanted to play, but she said, no it's mine. Too funny!
My Tweens Love it!

I wasn't sure about this game and only bought it because it was on sale, but I was pleasantly surprised. My girls (11 and 13 years old) have the Hannah Montana DS game and only played with it a few hours and declared it "boring". But they really like this game. It has a lot of dancing (which they love) and the Hannah music and dressing Hannah up. Its one of their favorite games still after about 2 months! I would say this game is best for ages 7-13. Its WAY too hard for my advanced 4 year old.
This game stinks!!!!!!!!

I hate this game! It is no fun at all! I got this for christmas, but now I know I shouldn't have asked for it. The only thing you can do is dance and shop, and I know that might sound fun, but it's not! There is not much clothing that you can buy, and very few concert places to perform at. I finished this game in probably 5 hours(not straight). Please Wii games cost to much to waste your money on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great! 2008-05-29
I bought this game for my kid for christmas, and she enjoyed it a lot
girls just love this game 2008-04-01
Take the stage as Hannah Montana while continuing to develop your musical and fashion skills. By using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk you and Hannah will dance together in order to gain more fans. Off stage, you can create concert wardrobes by shopping all over the world. You aren't alone as Lilly, Oliver, Jackson and Robbie give you help where they can! Control lighting and stage effects for an unforgettable concert Share photos of fashion designs and record dances to share with friends
would change rating if I could 2008-03-23
We had problems at first but figured it out after I wrote my original review, but now I can't change my rating.
My DDs (7 & 4) love this game. It seemed very easy to beat to me, but even after doing the entire world tour they still want to play it every day.
Hannah Montana 2008-03-21
Wow, what fun! The girls loves this. It's not only Hannah Montana, but there's exercise involved and the girls don't even realize it. With all the moving and dancing, it's great!
Great Wii Game for Girls! 2008-03-19
My 6 yo loves Hannah Montana so when she saw this game, she had to try it out. We rented it first to make sure she could play it and actually enjoyed it. She loves it! I can barely get her to sit still in her chair to finish dinner or homework but she gets into this game.
The premise is that Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus is traveling around the world for her world tour. In each city you learn new dance moves that you do using the Wii remote and nunchuk and then you perform to one of her songs. During the performance you receive a star rating and points based on your number of fans. You also get shopping points. Using the points you get to shop in each city for clothes, shoes and sunglasses. You can change her outfits over and over before or after each performance. In the shopping area there are always a few extra activities like a photo shoot and an autograph signing. It took a bit of practice to figure out the guitar playing and it was a little difficult for my daughter (I figured it out and really enjoy it though).
Finally, I have to say you get a great workout from this. I play it and get a little sweaty during a performance and I'm only using the first level of play (there are 3 levels of performance that get increasingly more difficult). Also, I saw that there is a dance party/multiplayer portion of the game but we have not tried that part out yet. All in all, this is a great game and we bought it after only one day of play. Yes, it is only a dancing game but I'm willing to bet the next Hannah Montana title will add singing. *It even makes my daughter forget to ask for dessert after dinner because she is having so much fun dancing.
Watch out for the brothers! 2008-02-29
I bought this for my 8 year old daughter since she is a big fan of Hannah Montana and she loves to sing and dance. This game is her favorite! The only problem is that her brother won't stop playing with it. While this game is bought mostly for girls, beware, boys love it too (although hard pressed to admit it)!
