Published by Disney Interactive Studios, High School Musical: Sing It! PlayStation�2 computer entertainment system is the all new karaoke videogame based on the phenomenally successful Disney Channel original movie, “High School Musical.” Allowing fans to interact with the movie’s characters for the first time on any gaming console, High School Musical: Sing It! extends the “High School Musical” experience by offering players the chance to immerse themselves in the world of the hit movie. Fans show off their creativity and skills by mixing together their favorite characters, songs and scenes as they sing their way to stardom. Featuring motion-captured-choreography from the original movie’s dance routines, the games provide hours of fun for the entire family as they get to interact with some of their favorite movie stars.

Featuring three play modes, Story, Party and Quickplay, fans choose their character with either their favorite cast member (Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad or Taylor). In Story Mode, players live the movie through song and dance, performing “High School Musical” and “High School Musical 2” songs, from “Start of Something New” to “We’re All in this Together,” solo or as a duet. In Party Mode, friends compete against each other. Players can also choose their favorite backdrop and belt out hit songs from other popular tunes sung by familiar Disney Channel stars. In Quickplay mode, players can jump into any song and pick from any characters, outfits, and environments they’ve unlocked.
