The most popular High School Musical game is Sing It, High School Musical for the Wii.  This is a karaoke based video game based on the original movie.  In the game there are over 30 songs to choose from plus 30 minutes of bonus footage and cast interviews from the movie.  You can choose from different songs, sets, and characters from the original movie.

The fun part of this game is that it you get to sing in different venues and use different characters to sing different songs.  It’s challenging because you don't automatically get access to all 30 songs, but have to unlock songs by scoring well on individual song performances.   During each performance, judges give grades based on performance.   Once the performance is finished, a final grade will be accessed which will determine whether or not you move onto the next song.

Out of all the High School Musical board games, we recommend the Sing It for Wii.  We believe that this is the best game and is the most fun for all ages.  From kids as young as five years old to parents as adults will enjoy this game for the Wii.  The DVD Board games and card games are fun if you're on a tight budget, but the Wii musical singing game is just too much fun.
