With GameSpot also rating it a 1.5 out of 10 for its lack of good graphics as well as misspelling of lyrics. Also, on the PlayStation 2 version, songs like "I Could Be" and "Three Is Enough" lets the player do vocals as Nat but has Alex singing the lead vocals instead. Also on that version, the song "Eventually" leaves out some words. On the PS2 and Wii versions, the song "Don't Turn Around" doesn't have any lyrics whatsoever.
