EA's Boogie Fails To Impress

Filed in archive Wii on September 24, 2007

Boogie was this years hotly anticipated dance and karaoke-em-up title for the Wii, and should have been a cracking good party game. Unfortunately the game has received pretty terrible reviews across the Nintendo blogosphere.




Levi Buchanan over at MSNBC writes that:

""Boogie" should have been a monster hit for the Wii. Instead, charging families sixty bucks for a wholly dispensable and borderline broken game is nothing short of unfair. But "Boogie's" failure goes beyond that. Too many publishers are still taking the easy way out and porting over PlayStation 2 games with lazy motion controls in hopes of cashing in on the Wii's still white-hot popularity, making it doubly disappointing to see a high-profile Wii exclusive like "Boogie" stumble."

With rudimentary unimaginative dance moves (up, down, left, right) that do little to put the Wii controller to use, and nothing but graphics on its side, Boogie looks like this year's biggest disappointment.

A real shame.
