Everyone needs a singing chipmunk in their life, and Wii owners get theirs with the Alvin and the Chipmunks video game, a timely arrival on shop shelves while the film release is fresh in the mind. The Alvin and the Chipmunks video game follows cheeky group leader Alvin, Simon (the quiet one) and Theodore, the ingenuous drummer, on their latest mission to play during the battle of the bands event, Rockathonapalooza. As the Chipmunks perform in each of the video game's musical levels-from school proms to Burning Man to Forest Arenas to the ultimate, Rockathonapalooza - players are challenged to keep in rhythm with the music. The combination of fun gameplay, a groovy soundtrack and everyone's favourite Chipmunks (are there any other contenders?) facilitates another way for fans of Alvin and the fellas, new and old (they've been around since the 1960s you know) to enjoy and expand on the film experience.
