Boogie Super Star For Wii Combines Karaoke & Dance

Sometimes I wish I was still in junior high. I really liked junior high and I played a game for the Wii not long ago that took me back, in a way. Boogie SuperStar is a karaoke/dance game that is rated 10+. It comes with it’s own microphone so that you can sing and the game rates you on your pitch and note duration. If you are not singing then you have certain “dance” moves that you do by waving your arms around like a putz and watching your character on screen dance.

There are two rather distinct halves to Boogie SuperStar. The singing is the easiest for competitors to grasp and you sing the words in time with the lyrics being shown on screen. That is not complex, but the dancing is much more difficult to master. There are various moves you must perform such as the hand bike (what exactly is that move?).

You can play with many players and mix up singing and dancing. I was at a major disadvantage playing it because there was only one song I had heard, but that’s because I am a loser. I know that many of these songs are very popular to girls who still read Teeny Bopper magazine (remember the days?). I still had a lot of fun playing it, and the husband even busted out a few dance moves and songs. We had a great time with it, and now I’m going to pass it on to a little girl I know who I’m sure will have an even better time with it. Especially if she has a slumber party.

It’s a prop from me, and a BIG prop if you have pre-teen/teenage girls.
