If you have girls in your house that watch TV, chances are you've heard a lot about Hannah Montana. Now your kids can be part of both worlds while they control Miley/Hannah in this game.

Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds Deluxe Lifestyle Video Game is a "Plug it in & Play TV Game". Just like it says, you plug in into your TV and play. No video game console or cartridge is needed. The controller is wireless and shaped like a guitar. It does require quite a few batteries. You need 4 AAs for the main unit that plugs into the TV and 3 AAAs for the wireless guitar controller. We've played it quite a bit and haven't had to change the batteries yet, so they're not draining quickly. Also, there is an automatic shutoff feature which is very nice if you have a child that forgets to turn things off when they are done using them.

You start your day as Miley Stewart. Throughout the day you can change Miley's clothes, go to school and take tests based on the Disney show Hannah Montana, talk with friends in person or on the phone, go to the beach and go shopping. Miley's dad has a list of tasks for Miley to complete each day. Completing tasks earns star points which can be used to purchase items at stores on the Promenade. After Miley completes the tasks on her list, she can change into Hannah Montana and complete her task.

Hannah has a separate wardrobe than Miley, so you can change her clothes also. She can also go shopping, go to the beach, set up her stage at the stadium and attend events: photo shoots, interviews, rehearsals and of course, her concert.

The closet does not just hold clothes. It also has a diary which holds a weekly task meter where you can see which areas need attention: friendship, R&R, fashion, and design. It has a photo album where pictures from Hannah's photo shoots are stored. You'll also find a mirror and a microphone.

At the beach you can visit Rico's snack shop, boogie board, or play volleyball. You don't actually play the games, though. Miley just says something about it.

When you talk with friends, Miley/Hannah is given 3 options of what to say and you pick what you'd like them to say, which gives the game a little more variety.

My 6, 9, and 12 year olds have all played this game and like it. The controls are easy enough for my 6 year old to handle, but she does need a little help completing some tasks. My 9 year old likes it a lot. She prefers it over some other video games. My 12 year old likes it, but said it got boring after a while because she would prefer to actually do the activities instead of the game saying she did it. She is the oldest the game is recommended for, so that may be something to keep in mind if you are looking to get this for an older child. My 6 year old and 9 year old really like it and ask to play it often. The game seems to be a great match for their ages.
