Game Modes
Quick Play
Play any of the songs that you have already unlocked. No muss, no fuss. Just pick a profile, a song and a stage and get up there and sing!
Perfect for a quick song (or three), Quick Play offers all the excitement of life on the East High stage in a smaller, quicker package!
To get started, select a player profile (see Profile, under Extras, to learn more about creating a profile), choose a song, a stage, and a duet partner and then hit "Go!" to hit the stage. You can also play alone if you want to!
To preview a song, highlight it on the list, and then press the button. You can also preview stages the same way.
Story Mode
It's the start of something new. Sing along with Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay, Ryan and the rest of the East High Drama Club as you ride that rhythm all the way through the story of the Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical.
Sing alone or sing with a friend as you follow the story of Disney High School Musical - from Troy and Gabriella's first new year's eve duet to the entire cast's awesome finale in the East High School gym. If you perform the songs well, you'll unlock more songs to sing, more environments to sing in, more characters to sing along with and more outfits in which to dress them.
The game will choose a song and a stage for you, depending on where you are in the story.
Party Mode
Invite up to seven of your friends over and find out who has the best voice – or just get together to create wonderful music in duets and solo performances.
Challenge your friends to a "sing off" in Party Mode or just get together and sing your favorite songs from Disney's hit High School Musical movies and stage productions. You can sing alone or as part of a duet. Up to eight players can join Party Mode.
New players can join the game between rounds, and others can leave without ending the game for everybody else. And if anybody needs a break, singers can skip a turn if they like, too.
Extras
So maybe there aren't any songs here, but in Extras you can set game Options such as Auto Save or Sound, check your Progress through the game's unlockables, see the Credits to find out who made the game, and much more!
