Shake your booty and sing your heart out, be a Boogie Super Star! Dec 01, 2008
By 365BeautySecrets
"365 Beauty Secrets"
I have never tried the first version, Boogie, which didn't get great ratings. However, I can tell that this version is much better already.
The music is obviously targeted at the younger generation with the Top 40 type of music, as opposed to the oldies but goodies of American Idol 1 (not sure about AI 2 yet). The genres are pop, urban, and electrodance. When you play more often, more songs are unlocked at higher difficulties. Additional songs cannot be downloaded through Wi-Fi, which I heard is a new option for American Idol 2. By the way, my unlocked music is only available for me under my character, while others still have to work at getting more songs to reach the same level.
The music plays at one speed, so I did feel some frustration at the beginning when the lyrics flew across the TV screen. The song words scroll from left to right for both Boogie Super Star and American Idol, while Guitar Hero offers a second option when the lyrics are shown in static mode, meaning one line at a time, which I have found easier to follow. If your eyes are quick, then it's fairly easy to read the lyrics as opposed to the small jammed up font in Guitar Hero.
You have the option to play up to 3 songs per set.
First, select the activity type: dance one at a time, dance side-by-side, sing one at a time, or sing a duet (passing the mic back and forth, which I found hard to do).
Second, decide if you want the song to be random (by the Wii) or selectable (by you).
Although you have set this all up, the game stops in between songs if you decided to select your own music (and take a quick water break for your worn out throat). It does not give you the option to select 6 songs upfront like it does in Guitar Hero for continuous fun.
All of the games mentioned here do not take advantage of your personal Mii character, except for Guitar Hero's side activity of creating your own band. The graphics are more cartoon-y, if you will, as opposed to American Idol which is trying to look realistic. There are 2 male and 3-4 female characters (can't recall the exact number right now), from which to choose for the general look. After that, you can change the skin color, hair color, add tattoos and accessories, switch clothes and shoes, but most of it is "locked" until you have earned enough points.
The microphone is the same for Boogie Super Star, American Idol and Guitar Hero World Tour, so if you own those, you don't have to buy the bundle and save yourself 7 bucks or so. Unfortunately, the duet in this game only uses 1 microphone so you have to learn to share and be quick in passing it back and forth. So I prefer to go head-to-head by singing solos (one player sings after the other). For 2 players, both must dance or both must sing. There is no option for one person to sign and the other dance. The game is rated for 4 players, but I have yet to find enough courageous people. The limitation of one microphone for duets is the biggest con in my opinion, which is not necessarily a show stopper. Although the cord length was not an issue, I do wish the that the microphone was cordless (everything else is!). I decided to buy a mic stand, so that I can be hands free, especially when I try to play guitar for Guitar Hero (double the challenge!).
Each player needs a remote for the dance competition, no mic and no nunchuck. Yes, you really only need to dance with one hand, the hand holding the remote. The Wii does not know what you are doing with your lower body. It was funny to watch my brother compete with me, standing there with only one hand moving, while I'm truly trying to boogie with arms, legs, booty, and all. With that said, if you put your energy into it, Boogie Super Star does get you off the couch so you can burn some calories if you do it long enough.
This game is good for people who like to sing in the shower as well as the karaoke super stars. Boogie Super Star offers the extra element of dancing, while American Idol focuses on singing. This game also works for people who want to learn some coordination in the privacy of their own home before taking over the dance floor at a local club. Ok, ok, ok, the dance moves in Boogie Super Star don't quite translate to real life dancing, but it still does teach you how to stay on beat. The Wii can tell if you are doing the "Eagle" dance move on tempo (there's a tempo meter which tells you to speed up or slow down). There are 4 basic dance moves and 4 special moves per genre, which come to a total of 16. There are also "combos", which are self-explanatory. Don't worry, a "dance guide" poster is included with the game, which was more helpful than the instructional manual. For more advanced skills, you'll have to attend professional dance classes. I do think it will be quite hilarious if and when I recognize someone using the Boogie Super Star dance moves in real life at a dance club!
There is a dance "academy" feature. You can record your own routine and save it, then use it later during a competition. I found this quite amusing actually when you see your character (you) replay. You really need to know the dance moves by heart at this point to make up a decent routine. Have no fear for the 2-left footed folk, there is a training section. You can learn one dance move at a time and you keep doing it until you have been on tempo (green light) for a set time.
This game is not for serious singing and dancing as opposed to other games, such as American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. There are also 3 judges like that in American Idol, but their commentary is very short and sweet 1-2 liners and can be skipped by pressing the A button. For real-life examples, there are several homemade videos on YouTube if you want to see some people in action. But I find it much more fun and amusing when YOU are the Boogie Super Star! Bottom line: Yes, I'd buy it again.

 Dancing and Singing = great game Jan 06, 2009
By K. Reimer
I bought this game for my daughter who wants to sing and dance yet is not a gamer and has not had any interest in the Wii. My daughter is still in elementary school and luckily this game is not too mature for her (I censor two songs using the select vs random song selection function). She loves the characters and the cute graphics. Some of the commentators ('judges') can be a little rude yet during the action the game also encourages her to keep trying. I hope there is another song bundle as I am unsure how long it is going to take her to unlock some of the other songs. My son, who is five, even tries as well just because he sees how much fun the girls are having.
In short, she loves it - her friends love it too and it keeps them dancing for hours. I enjoy it too because the laughter fills the house.

LOVE IT Dec 26, 2008
By J.Tanne
My daughter got this game for Christmas. She loves Hannah Montana and HSM, but was really dissapointed with those singing/dancing games. Boogie Super Star just rocks!!
Someone else has already written about all the different parts of the game, so I will just tell you what we like etc.
The one downside to it is that you have to go in with the name/symbols they give the character you pick. You can go in and change that, but it would be nice to do it from the beginning. However as far as the clothing being locked etc, we wanted to get into playing the game so much that we left them as they came.
The Superstar mode is a blast. You can customize your contest so you can do as much dancing/singing/duets as you want. You can even choose less than three rounds if you want. You can also choose your songs or let them be picked at random. If you choose the random option the game makes sure it does not pick songs that are too easy for you. Once you score high enough it says some songs are too easy and you can still sing them but it assesses a penalty like -0.5 points, etc.
At first we went with the songs we knew, but it was actually more fun to let the computer choose to spice things up and let you learn more of the songs.
Another fun thing you can do is let "vickie" the evil judge, add some glitches while you sing. She will drop bombs on your songs that do things like distort the music, make the pitch markers invisible, take away the music, scribble on top of the lyrics. It doen't last the whole song, but it adds more fun to the contest especially when you still do good in spite of the glitches.
One person said that sometimes the moves don't register with the Wii remote. I found that at first too, but realized the problem was in the way I was doing them. For example, with the "criss cross" dance move, instead of pumping your arms into and out of the move (like it shows) simply move your arms across and away from your body without ever lifting your hands up. One smooth movement. And, with the tornado, instead of going in a circle like the dancer, just swing your arms from one side to the other over your head. The circle causes the delay. If you think of making a smooth movement instead of a jerky one it helps.
I hope this helps someone. I am 30 years old and I love this game more than my kids do, lol!
ETA: after playing for several hours yesterday I woke up with a severe case of vertigo (which I am just prone to) I found out later after attempting to play this game again that it was the scrolling karaoke that caused it. I will play it again, just not until my vertigo goes away again.

So much fun! May 03, 2009
By D. Hollingsworth
"Niser33"
This game is a lot of fun. I have never karaokee'd before...but I could do this over and over. My 9-yr olds and my fiancee loves it too! Only bad thing is the speakers speak another language and I don't see how you can change the languages....it has sub titles...and doesn't really matter...but it would be nice for viewers to hear what was being said in English
