How much you want to bet that all the Wii motion controls will be mapped on the right analog stick in the PS2 version.

Haha that is hilarious, I especially like the "special" 3D glasses. Now that is the most horrifying part of it all.

Yeah, they mean stereoscopic 3D.  As if Boogie wasn't already a gimmick unto itself, now it's got the ultimate gimmick feature, too.

Actually...I believe the Wii iteration of Boogie had the whole 3D mode as well.  At least, I think it did in the video mode.  EA's only bragging that this is the first DS game with this function, not that the DS will have this feature added in, I think.

Yeah, the Wii version lets you 3D glasses up the joint for your replay videos. The worst game EA's made since Catwoman gets even worse! This is quite an achievement!

Wow...Is Boogie REALLY that bad? I mean, Super Swing Golf, Red Steel and Sonic had some fans defending it saying that even if they were flawed they were some good qualities in them.

I thought at the very least this game would have some fans...Or is everyone just joining the hate bandwagon?

I had the misfortune of playing it, it really is a horrific lump of crap. You wave the Wii controller (in any direction, it doesn't matter) in time to the beat that's off-beat to begin with. Every so often a little gremlin will drop a coin in the level, so you use the dpad to slowly walk over to it and pick it up. You can sing if you want, but the game doesn't seem to care if you sing the lyrics or simply blow into the microphone. That's the entire game. =\
