Gameplay
The game is much different yet identical to High School Musical: Makin' the Cut! where players can play any of the six main cast of High School Musical 2 and walk around Lava Springs, something players were unable to do in the previous Nintendo DS game.
Some songs are sung by cover artists, and not the original artists, while others are sung by the original artists.
Songs
Songs have to be unlocked to progress through the levels and can choose which one to play through the jukebox, which will then permanently be on until the player changes the song. You can start off with either, "You Are the Music in Me" or "You Are the Music in Me (Sharpay Version)".
The songs can be heard even if the Nintendo DS is closed.
Reception
Reception of the game was negative, as GameRankings gave it a score of 36.50% and Metacritic gave it a score of 38 out of 100.
