Rooms - I don't want to use my keyboard to do this review... - 0/10

Items - Cute, but many recolors. And, as usually, nonmembers get only one item, to wear for every day. - 3/10

Music - Great - 2/10

Special

Sound Studio - Did they do something with Sound Studio for this party ? It isn't Keyboard Party - 0/10

Games etc. - ... - 0/10

5/50... 1/10

It means it's nothing important.

One sixth of the year and not so good

By Towerofyikk

This party... where do I start... well, first of all, my initial impression was not at all good. CP was in the process of updating way too early, causing many, many bugs. Many still persist. The interface still does not even work, for gosh sake. Way too rushed. The party itself is less than decent. Room designs are reused, even the two party rooms from the Hollywood Party are COMPLETELY copied over, but serve no function at all. The sky is completely silly, it just slowly fades between rooms (Dock and Forest). Is there some wacky solar eclipse? What is happening? And there is even LESS rooms decorated this time. Soon, only the Town will be decorated, I bet.

The free items are okay, except the totallynotSkrillexhair bugs me. At least the items (for the most part) are fresh and not recolors of existing items, and some are actually kinda nice looking. That is really all I like about the party. However, CP lied, claiming Cadence and the PB would be meetable, even saying so in the newspaper, but today, it has been announced they will not be waddling around, which I imagine would be disappointing for many. Such a blatant lie is pretty low, although it arguably could be worse.

The concept for the party's tasks in playing music are fine in theory, but when played out, they are very simple, require no effort, and are very monotonous. Nothing but clicking buttons over and over, waiting for a while for the song to finish, and doing it seven more times. At the end you are supposed to receive a cool looking hoodie, but of course, CP glitching prevented this from being obtainable in the first place, as when you perform for Cadence in all genres, nothing happens. Good job, Club Penguin...

I could go on and on on why I dislike this party, how it is purely to advertise an app that probably will be quite lackluster, and more, but I will end this for now. All in all, the only thing I really like about the party is some of the items. The "guests" got a chuckle out of me though, but that does not make up for much at all. We are already one sixth through the year, and Club Penguin is not looking too good. The Puffle Party is probably going to be an excuse to release more unnecessary puffles, too...

Cool

Great name! I like the sounds of it. This is too awesome!

60% = D- Party

By Chucker321

The SoundStudio Party has started. I like it, although there are a few things that I am unsatisfied with.

Music: 7/10 - It's cool. I like it, and I like that you get to make your own music for Cadence; but you have to be a member.

Rooms: 6/10 - Only 4 rooms are decorated; Town, Stadium, Snow Forts, and Plaza. I like that they brought back the limo and the award room for the Plaza.

Decorations: 8/10 - I like the decorations. I like the separate rooms for the styles when you make music.

Items: 6/10 - Non-members can get 4 items and members can get 8 items. Non-members can get head, face, and hand items. Members can get head, face, body, and hand items. They aren't exactly the best-looking items. Clothing items: Eh... Furniture items: They are all recycled items that keep getting used over and over.

Mascots: 0/10 - Cadence is there, but as a robot...?

Theme: 9/10 - Overall, I like the theme of this party.

36/60 = 18/30 = 9/15 = 3/5 stars

Why so many bad parties?

By Juca

It's sad that Club Penguin is having so many parties lacking quality. Once again, few rooms of the actual Club Penguin Island are decorated. Party quality is being sacrificed for the mobile app, and that's not good. I mean, it's important nowdays to be available to phone/tablet users, but the main, desktop version of the game is getting a lot worse. Now only the rooms of the app are changed, and that means we won't be seeing the whole island decorated again, like it used to happen in many parties. Why not offering "complete" versions of parties on desktop and "limited" ones on mobile? It could be made in a way app users could still get the items, but the desktop version would have more decorated rooms.

Not even the dark sky was changing for all rooms, which is really ridicolous. The Dock sky makes the Club Penguin team look lazy. Other thing that makes it look lazy is the fact that most decorated rooms are the same as they looked like in Hollywood Party.

The features (playing music at the Stages) are better than the ones of the previous parties, but still are boring. There is no challenge. Matching symbols with the ones displayed on the top of the screen looks like a preschool activity. Overall, SoundStudio Party is better than Music Jam 2014 (which was probably the worst party in the history of Club Penguin), but there are still a lot of things to improve.

Is This Party As Good As It Sounds?

By Brookelas

Ok! The second party of 2015! Let's see what worked and what didn't!

What Worked

The member-non member ratio was perfect! They didn't overdo it for members, but they gave us a nice little addition without letting non members miss out on anything special.
The items look amazing, and yeah!
The music is nice and catchy... unlike some previous musical party.
It was nice to see the limo and awards show from Hollywood Party make a return.
The Party Stages looked awesome.

What Didn't Work

No new emotes... they were all reused from the dreaded Music Jam 2014.
The dark sky was only in the decorated rooms... why? Just WHY?? And how??
The 'quest' was WAAAAAAAY too easy
They advertised Penguin Band coming, and they never did. Would it hurt to log them in every once in a while?
Why is the Stadium the backstage? They could have made the Stadium and Mine Shack stages and the School a backstage area.
Another thing that bothered me is that Cadence didn't even perform her new song, which was released for this party... WHY? On top of that, Soundstudio wasn't updated as promised.

Conclusion With 5 pros and 6 cons, I rate this party a 2. A party based off of a minigame worked for Card-Jitsu, but based off of Soundstudio? Really? I would have changed Snowball Records into an actual like radio station, and put the four stages in the Beach, Dock, Forest and Cove. Cadence could have performed at the Stadium, and the Mine Shack could have been a dance studio thingy like it was in the 2012 Ultimate Jam. I mean, at least its better than MJ 2014, so yeah... I guess that's all I have to say.

yes hello

sniff
i don't know what to say

this is so

so...

... poo

wut

By Superalvi400

Two puffles and inanimate objects as guests? '______' I have to admit, the MJ14 ones were better.

Crappy

By Ninja Penguins

Bad experience, for both members and non-members. The party is so glitchy, members can barely do anything. Non-members can only look at rooms, and that's about it. This party is just sad. Super sad. This party will get rekt.

The SoundStudio Party. Good or Bad?

By Green N Cool

Decorations

It was great that they had added construction before the party to show that there was going to be fully decorated/overhauled rooms (Snow forts), at least we then knew that they were working on fully altering the rooms for the event, not just one minute they're normal, the next they're totally different.
It was great that the limousine and awards show had returned.
The Town, Plaza and Coffee Shop weren't totally altered (overhauled) when the party started.
The 'Stages' were designed well and I like how they were separated into different genres.
Why did the stadium become a backstage room for a building placed in the snow forts (Snowball Records)? The room looked great but couldn't the stadium have stayed as it always is (soccer stadium) but had a concert or even a large tent with the backstage things in the center of that room so it's less overhauled?
Although it was nice, what was the point of the awards show returning to the stage? There were no awards being given out and the stage was overhauled. We couldn't even go into the room on the Club Penguin App. The room basically had no purpose other than a small role play opportunity.
It was a shame the limousine only dropped you off at the plaza and like the awards show, it wasn't available on the Club Penguin App.
I disliked how the rooms decorated had a night sky whilst the non decorated ones were in daylight.
When opening a door in some rooms such as the Pet Shop, Pizza Parlor and Puffle hotel you would see daylight but outside in the plaza, it was dark.
Cadence said in the 487th Club Penguin Times issue that “There are EPIC stages all over the island for U to perform on”. So where were these stages? They weren't anywhere around the island, just in 'Snowball Records' (/the party rooms).
If this party was suppose to be about the SoundStudio game, why wasn't the dance club, the location of the game, decorated.

Tasks

It was nice earning the items by clicking on buttons to play some music. They did take a little longer to do.
I'd have probably found it more fun if it was like 'Simon says' were we had to memorize the music and then play it and if we got it wrong we'd have to start over.

Replay Value

You don't earn anything else after you've got all the items. There's no replay value.
If the game was like 'Simon says' were we had to memorize the music and then play it and if we got it wrong we'd have to start over, it would likely take longer to do and more people would replay it to get the items. However, if the music track was played wrong, we still had to start over, but it was still easy and quick.

Items

I like some of the new items, they fit the theme of the party well.
A couple of the items are copies of past items, just recolored.

Music

The music fitted the party well.
I loved the music that played after we had completed copying a track.

Storyline

There wasn't the best storyline for the SoundStudio party. Having a party just because an out-of-game app is released is not a storyline.

Mascots and “Special Guests”

It was nice to see Glitterpants the puffle and Dubstep puffle make an appearance with cadence as a special guest, but why a rocking horse, a lamp, a buoy and some modern art?
Cadence wasn't waddling around the island and although it was mentioned in one of the Club Penguin Times issues that they would visit, the Penguin Band didn't.

Miscellaneous

The party emotes fit the theme of the party nicely.
Cadence stated that “Members can try out for the talent show”. How was it a talent show? We weren't judged by anybody, we didn't earn anything for doing it, and we all had to copy the same type of music.
There was a lot of bugs.
Even though the party was about it, the SoundStudio app wasn't even released when the party began nor was it a week into the party.

Conclusion

Overall, I think the SoundStudio party was okay. I'm going to rate this event a 2.5 (Could be better).

SoundStudio Party - a poor performance

Nice sky design in decorated rooms.
Tasks were a little more enjoyable.
Party included nice features.
Nice free items fir doing tasks.
More of a story to the party.

No characters visiting for the party. e.g. Penguin Band, Cadence.
Little rooms were decorated for party
Dark sky was only in decorated rooms. Lazy sky change used at The Dock.
Not much replay value to the party and its tasks.
Tasks were too easy and didn't much time to complete.
Some old room designs were recycled from other parties. e.g. Hollywood Party in 2012.
Not much to do at party.
What was the point of The Stage?

From the positive and negative points made about this party, I can conclude that this party gets a 0.5.
