It's a shame they had to ruin a fun game with some regrettable song choices. My daughters always want to be the cute girl character, who sings and dances to songs like "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" and "My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard..." Worst part -- they *have* to perform the songs in order to advance to the next level of the game.

About Boogie
Parents need to know this is a game that requires you to sing using an enclosed microphone and "dance" using the Wii controller. Some of the songs in the game feature "suggestive" lyrics including the Pussycat Dolls' "Don't Cha" ("Don't-cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?") and Britney Spears' "Oops!...I Did It Again" (with the famous line: "I'm not that innocent").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why music/rhythm games are all the rage these days. Do you like the singing part or the dancing part more? Did EA bite off more than they could chew by combining a dancing game and a singing game? Do you think this game would be more fun if you actually had to dance instead of waving the controller around?

Ugh
This game was sooo boring and way to hard. All you do is dance and sing. ALL the songs are locked and there is no way to unlock them. My went to the parental codes and we still could not unlock the songs. If you pick the girl as your character she dance very inappropriate. Don't buy this game.

Boogie Woogie Woogie!!
I have had boogie (on nintendo wii) for about 3 weeks now and i have to tell you.. it's absolutely superb! Especially for me as i LOVE singing and dancing. When i first got boogie i couldn't stop playing it! It's so addictive! But this is great for me to practise my singing especially as i want to be singer. I reccomend you all this game it's suitable for everyone and GREAT for partys!! It's time to Boogie Woogie Woogie Till You Just Can't Boogie No More!! Characters: 10/10 I LOVE them all! Graphics: 10/10 They look amazing. The dancers offer something amazing. Music: 10/10 I saw the song list and i love them all! Depth/Story: 10/10 It's singing and dancing! what more can you ask for? Movement: 10/10 You'll always be moving with this. Party Potential: 10/10 A must have party game.
