 Boogie........ November 30, 2008
.....is a karakorke wii game, where you put your skills of singing and dancing to the test. To dance you simply swing the remote from side to side, which becomes very boring. There aren't many songs to choose from and your singing score is inaccurate. The game comes with a micro phone, that you connect to your wii. The charaters are very odd alien creatures and it would be a lot better if you could play as your mii. This game isn't worth buying and we've only played on it once-the day we got it. It's over priced as it comes with a micro phone.
Overall this game is rubbish, DO NOT BUY IT!
Take note of these reviews and don't waste your money! March 4, 2008

I was overjoyed to get this game, being a huge lover of kareoke and dancing and thought it would be fantastic. I had it for one night and sold it immediately (thanks Amazon).
Although I did have fun (most likely assisted by copious amounts of wine)! I found the game highly irritating because:
You have to go through a long and boring tutorial initially.
Making the character dance just involves wiggling your hand with the remote and messing about with the nunchuck. Since I clearly couldn't do this with a mike in my hand we had one person singing and one dancing.
There is is a very limited selection of cover songs, of which only a handful are good/recognisable.
You can unlock other songs if you are a good singer - which I am NOT so couldn't get another songf for the life in me.
The mike sounds awful and the playback is vile.
All in all, it's good for about a minute, then, like me, you'll probably decide to just buy a kareoke machine and do it properly!
DO believe what everyone else has to say about it! February 13, 2008

I really wanted this game so I ignored all the bad reviews about Boogie. However, I am now looking to sell my copy after playing with it (both by myself and with friends) for an evening. This is because:
1) The Dancing is so bad! I do not know who did the programming for this, but they sure do not know how to dance. you sort of wave one hand around while fiddling with the buttons on your left. I wasn't expecting something as good dance dance revolution- but more in the line of the rayman dance game- which i LOVE, and where you can actually sort of dance to, instead of frantically trying to remember which buttons to push when to get a good score!!!
2) The Songs- why are they SO slow? Part of the fun of karaoke is singing to the song like it is and its definitely not like that! Granted I already sing along to songs like Don't Cha at the gym and expected to be a bit more pace-y for the game. Also the backing they provide are not... well the best.
Slow story mode also means you can't really have fun with it until you suffered for hours through the boredom.
My Advice? Get Rayman for the dancing and also as a bonus all the fun games you can get; then go to your mates for Sing Star!!!

Having enjoyed the singstar games I thought this would be great fun, but it's not. This game is a rip off, most of the tracks are bad covers and the game is soo basic. The story mode is a joke, with no animation and terrible speech effects, I thought I was playing on my old megadrive!
I just bought this and am taking it back to get my money back. I thought EA were better quality than this.
Don't bother! January 9, 2008

Was excited about getting this but it took less than a month to get bored and trade it in. I think in that time I only played it about 5 times.
The choice of songs is ok, but even if you are a rubbish singer its easy to score high points. The dancing on the other hand seems very hard and the tutorials are stupidly short. You try out the "steps" 3 times - meaning that if you waft the remote about for a few seconds you tend to do it whether you intended to or not!
If its singing you are after - go for one of the singstar games on the PS2/3 - great fun and much better realised than this. Dancing wise, you are best sticking to one of the older style dance mat games out there.
Great idea but really badly worked out. Shame.
