Abstract: I'll be the first to admit I was not entirely impressed with this title when I first looked at it. When I looked at the package, my first thoughts were that this looked like a really hokey version of SingStar with a Wii-specific control tacked on. I was r...
Abstract: There are not all that many games that can say they are an entirely new franchise designed around the audience and architecture of the Wii. Boogie, from EA has been working on just that for almost a year now. Its recent release means that we can now se...
Abstract: With the popularity of Guitar Hero, DDR, and other rhythm and dance titles out there, it's time for EA to get a piece of the pie. Boogie is the first of this genre offered on the Wii thus far, and with its youthful presentation is a solid title for you...
Abstract: EA attempts to turn a music game into a non-game with disastrous results. Imagine, if you will, playing Dance Dance Revolution without the scrolling arrow prompts. Instead of earning points for hitting the correct arrow as it reaches the top of the sc...

Pretty and slick; nice beats; both "dancing" and singing; good for parties.
Costs a little more due to the mic; some covers are a little weak; overall game is too easy.
