Disney Stitch Jam
© 2010 Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media
If you like tapping along to a catchy tune, you'll love this engaging music game, featuring characters from Disney's Lilo and Stitch franchise. Challenges are presented as side scrolling adventures. In order to advance, you have to exactly match each beat, presented in 10 locations such as a tropical beach, a town, a frozen city or a deep forest. Each level has a different tropical-sounding song, as well as a variety of items to collect. At various points, some rather scary monsters show up. In order to get past them, you have to swipe in the direction of the arrow shown, exactly in rhythm. This creates an excellent setting for some fine motor skill development. There are both story modes and free modes, and there's a two player download version, for a social experience. As with other Disney titles, there's a D gamer link on the main menu, making it possible to share scores with other players. If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced music game with nicely designed levels, this is a good option.
