Customer Reviews

Take note of these reviews and don't waste your money!
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!
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!!!

V ery poor!
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.
