OH GREAT! This means I'll have to hire it to know for sure. Stupid sites, why can't they agree on whether the game is good or pure crap? Lol. Ah well.

IGN's review isn't out yet. I wonder what they'll have to say about the game.

I find this to be a bit odd. Why hasn't IGN reviewed the game. I just checked and they still haven't done it.
--------------edit
just checked out gamepro which gave it a good score, but also read that it's very short and you can't really unlock a whole lot except a couple songs and some new clothes. I think I'll have to pass on this one.

Im getting the game this month so I will more than likely write a review for you guys who don't buy it or are thinking about it.

Let me tell you my opinion. I have this game (yes, I know it has not been released yet but that doesn't mean diddly-squat over here) and it is terrible. You do NOT dance in this game. You move the wiimote left and right or up and down according to the beat, which seemed to me to be the same in every song that I listened to (which was every song that was unlocked and half of the songs that were locked). I'm not exaggerating, the beat that you move the wiimote to never seems to change. The mic has not come out over here yet so I haven't had a chance to try the karaoke part yet but for the dancing part it's pathetic. Stay away, stay far, far away!

Nice to hear another opinion than the reviews from the site. I;ll take your word for it. And IGN finally did the review.
IGN Review 4.5/10

Quote:
Boogie has style, but it unfortunately doesn't have substance. Too bad because this game had the potential to reinvent rhythm titles, but that potential has fallen well short of the mark. The presentation is spectacular for the most part and the core gameplay mechanics are functional. Younger players and casuals who don't know any better may even find something to like about how immediately "accessible" Boogie is, but we're not going to confuse a title that practically plays itself with accessibility. For all of its extra bells and whistles – and there are many – Boogie fails to deliver the necessary tangibility and sense of accomplishment that go hand-in-hand with playing videogames of any kind. When you're never quite sure if you've mastered the controls or if you just got lucky, well, that speaks volumes.
We hope EA will take another stab at the franchise and rework the control scheme into something more enjoyable because the potential for a remarkable rhythm game is still there – it just hasn't been realized with this first endeavor.
