Not bad but controls hamper it

First off I just want to say that I love the Chipmunks. I've loved the Chipmunks for as long as I can remember. I was in the mood for some Chipmunks music so I rented this game.
Music--
I'd definitely have to give the music selection a 10 in my book. The songs are great and they sound good coming from the Chipmunks. The music is this game's redeeming quality. It also doesn't hurt that the Chipmunk's voices are done by the VAs that did the cartoon.
Gameplay--
As in all music games you have to hit (or as in this game, swing) a button at a certain time in the rhythem of the music. Well the problem with this game is, they decided to stick the button icons in the four corners of the TV. Unless you have a really tiny TV screen, you won't be able to see all four corners of the screen and thus you will be missing quite a few notes. The controls are also clunky. The bottom two corners use the nunchuck and the Remote and when the icons match up, you swing eiter the remote or nunchuck. Well the top two corners use B + Remote and C + Nunchuck, and there are times it doesn't recongnize that you are holding down the button so when you swing, it thinks you are trying to do the bottom two. If it wasn't for the fact that the game is crazy easy, then it would be almost completely broken.
Overall, I would say that it's a good rental. When things are working, the game is a lot of fun.
