In the world of tween entertainment, there are few things bigger than High School Musical. The film series, entering its third installment chronicling the life and times of the East High Wildcats, is one of Disney’s hottest properties. As such, it is bound to get the game treatment every time a new film is released, and that’s how we found ourselves getting our groove on with Troy, Gabriella, and the rest at E3.

From what we got to see of the game, it was a sort of Wii version of Dance Dance Revolution, but with more emphasis on the hands than the feet. Using the Wiimote and Nunchuck, you point your controllers at a one of six targets (three per hand) in an attempt to mimic the actions of the on-screen characters. You time you moves by striking your pose just as colored circles radiating out from the center of the screen hit the targets, and like any rhythm game, the main objective is to get your timing absolutely perfect. As you up the difficulty, the circles come faster and more furiously, and when you get up into the upper echelons your dance moves start to come pretty close to the choreography of the actual characters.

This will likely come as a big thrill to fans of High School Musical as numbers from each movie are included in the game, so players will find themselves right in the thick of the big moments that define each flick. Replicating the moves and feeling a part of the action is something any wannabe Wildcat would dream of, and the game is giving you the chance for just such an experience.

Peppered in among the dance sequences are mini-games that task you with using your pointer to pop some bubbles while avoiding others or performing specific dance moves and striking poses to drive your score up. Doing well in these games fills the meter that allows you to go into bonus mode where you can really strut your stuff and rack up the points.
