Alvin and the Chipmunks is a video game based on the film of the same name. The game was released on December 4, 2007 and was the first release by short-lived video game company Brash Entertainment.[1] It follows The Chipmunks as they play their way from small venues (such as a high school prom or a civic center) to massive crowds at Burning Munk and ultimately Rockathonapalooza. The soundtrack features 40 popular songs, including "All the Small Things" by Blink-182, "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C., and "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley. The gameplay itself is similar to other rhythm games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Jason Lee reprise his role as David Seville in the story cutscenes while Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and Janice Karman reprise their roles from the 1980s-2000's cartoons.

A second installment video game Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel was released on December 1, 2009 to coincide with the release of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. It is played in a similar way, playing at various venues around the world. Now some venues allow you to play as The Chipettes (female Chipmunks who appear in The Squeakquel).

Story

The Chipmunks play various venues. Each venue is unlocked once a trio-set of songs have been completed. The DS cover states that the Chipmunks are doing this to save their favourite music club.
