    The motion-sensitive controls work very well and the graphical upgrade is appreciated.

    Really a pretty fun game. Worth a rental at least. If you've got a kid, it's probably worth buying, especially if they enjoyed the movie.

    You can also incrementally upgrade your nightclub over time.

    The game is very simple, easy to play, and oddly immersive. Motion controls for the wii also work surprisingly well. I feel this game was designed with motion controls in mind.

    Parts of the game feel unfinished, and there’s no real reason to craft and recipes or collect any flowers. The game could have had more depth when it came to collectibles and giving the player a reason to participate.

    Some of the mini games were a drag, and some of the missions and controls could be explained better.    … Full Review »

    Too easy and some of the mini game controls just don't work or work intermittently. I would spend money elsewhere - luckily I rented first.
