Imagine this (pun intended), if you will: You are given an all expenses paid trip to girls only band camp. (Okay, okay, go ahead. Insert the obligatory "this one time, at band camp..." joke here.) Now that we've gotten that out of the way, you'll be spending a week here in this camp. You get to pick whether to join the punk, pop, or rock cabins, and from there, you'll be picking whether to learn drums, guitar, or keyboards primarily for your time here. (You'll end up playing all three at various points throughout the game, so don't stress too much over your main pick.)Aside from the mostly pointless dialogue (and small assignments) that goes on with the other campers (I guess the makers felt they needed to round out a feeling of the whole camp cameraderie experience), you'll mostly just be playing and practicing music. Just like any other music-based DS game, everything's based on rhythm. You tap along with the drums, strum your guitar (while hitting the arrow keys at the same time to form chords) and plink away on the keyboard. It's all pretty simple stuff, but then, let's keep in mind that this game was made for kids. Even the hardest songs aren't that difficult to play. The game suggests that you put away your stylus and play this game with your fingers, but I ignored the suggestion and just used my stylus instead (and did just fine). I wouldn't advise the usage of fingers on the bare touch screen at any time.
You'll find that even with the endless amounts of dialogue, the game still progresses quickly, and if you don't bore yourself silly playing this, you can probably finish it within a few hours. (I couldn't sit myself through it all at once though, I'll admit.) This is a fairly run of the mill title, easily expendible. I'd skip on this one if I were you. 4 our of 10 guitars.
