Alvin and the gang to stir up trouble on the DS

Based on the new movie coming this holiday starring Jason Lee, Brash Entertainment's Alvin and the Chipmunks will feature rhythm-based gameplay. The game will feature challenges set to 40 different songs, including "All the Small Things" by Blink 182, "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C., "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley, "All Star" by Smashmouth, and "Shiny Happy People" by R.E.M.

No screens on the game as of now, but expect it to grace store shelves alongside the release of the film on December 14th.

Wait, Alvin and the Chipmunks ... the game?! Yes, please!

Finally, here it is, that childhood-crushing behemoth that you always knew in your heart would come yet you never dared let scape your lips for fear that the very utterance of it would usher it forth from the dark recesses of your blackest nightmares. It's Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Game. Yes, it's a rhythm game. And yes, it includes the Chipmunks playing Blink 182, REM and ... wait for it ... Run DMC.

But unbelievably, the news gets better. See, this isn't just an Alvin and the Chipmunks game. This is a game based on an upcoming movie that re-imagines the Chipmunks for a new, hip demographic as you can see in the trailer above. Boy, if the game features the part where Alvin eats his own brother's defecation, it's automatically game of the year. Look for it (or, for the love of all things holy, don't) on Dec. 4.
