MTV's Stephen Totilo is a sharp guy, in fact I'd probably say he's one of the best game journalists around, right up there with the likes of N'Gai Croal and Seth Schiesel, so when he says a game is good, yes even a game about Hannah Montana, you gotta believe.

One of the causalities of our hectic schedule and E3's insane lay out was our appointment with Disney Interactive, which I wasn't too happy about because it meant we missed out on Turok. But it also meant, apparently we missed out on one of the great secrets of the show: Hannah Montana: Music Jam. I'll let Totilo explain.

Hannah Montana: Music Jam," which is a clever enough game (trust me!) that I'd recommend even the most macho gamer to check it out. Why? Because it turns the two stacked screens of the Nintendo DS into the strings of a guitar. Strum the strings with the stylus. Change chords with the buttons. The lower screen can also be used as a stylus-tappable drum kit. And you can sing into the microphone, recording a full composition into the game. Players can link DS systems over short-range wireless to form live multi-"instrument" bands.

Sounds an awful lot like Jam Sessions from Ubisoft, but with drums. I wonder if they did the development.
