Returning Gamer review Mon, 16 Mar 2009

High School Musical 3 certainly looks like it has a lot going on under the surface. But strip away the groovy tunes and on-screen pyrotechnics and what you have left is a whole load of nothing: a game so astoundingly insubstantial that most girls - however much they adore Troy Bolton - would probably put it down for good after about an hour.

The last time I played the videogame spin-off of the third movie in a franchise was back in 1984 when the sit-down booth of Return of the Jedi appeared in our local arcade.
