Wii Boogie SuperStar Review

Anyone who follows this blog know that I love to sing (karaoke style of course, I am NOT the next AI) and  I love to shake my hips and dance all over the place. Well Electronic Arts Boogie SuperStar has joined both of those favorites together to create a very enjoyable game.

First you start out creating your character, and from the different styles of clothing and hair you can come up with some great looking characters. Next you move on to the Academy where you will prepare yourself to become a Boogie SuperStar. You can create dance routines and learn new moves at the Academy as well. Then it is on to the Star Show, the big time moment.

The singing portion of this game is great and the music selection is some of the best songs from today like Don’t Stop The Music, Toxic, Potential Breakup Song, and more. My daughter and I really got into the music list, and guess what they even have Jonas Brothers songs……ah my daughter was in heaven. This portion is run like most other karaoke type games in that the lyrics come across the screen with tone lines that you have to match (usually mine are all over the place lol).

Now the boogie dancing part, is to me a new concept and it is a great one at that! The Beat Ball is here and is ready to get you moving. As you dance, 2 circles appear on screen. The beat ball bounces between the two circles in time to the music so you can get the rhythm down. When the beat ball is green you are moving the right way. When the ball is orange you are off tempo, a gray ball means your moves are not detectable, when it’s red you are doing things all sorts of wrong. I did surprising well on this and my daughter rocked!!!

There is a dance icon that is onscreen that tells you what moves to do and what is coming up next. The fun thing about this is you start off with 4 basic moves and as you progress through the game you can unlock more fun moves. My daughter can really shake her hips and she loves this game. And ever since we got it she has been working feverishly to unlock more moves.

The great thing about this game is the multi-player mode. It allows 2 people to play (or in this case dance) at the same time. This adds to the fun that you can have. My daughter and I play this all the time and usually she wins (I plead getting older lol) but I tell you we have so many laughs while playing this game.

You can make this a solely singing game or solely a dancing game or you can get the full fun and mix it up. You have the option to choose before the game starts. But I highly recommend mixing it all up because you and everyone playing will have a night of fun. I really recommend this game to everyone and it is the perfect game to incorporate into Family Game Night.
