By this time tomorrow, I Kairon, intrepid explorer of third party wilds on Nintendo continents, shall be in a position to tell you all everything you (n)ever wanted to hear about what it's like to Boogie!

I smell yet another polarizing Wii title...

Seriously, Boogie may be yet another game some fans eat up like crazy while others bash it to hell as if it was the digital re-incarnation of Satan.

[Kairon]

I don't think this one will be as polarizing, actually. Even I'm suspicious about this game... after all.

Yeah. Thinking about it, the game seems rather generic and with an identity crisis issue to boot.

But I suspect it will have some fans. We'll see when the reviews come.

[Kairon]

I highly doubt the game will be generic, but I do think that the way developers have talked about it in interviews and hands-on hints that the game has had a rough time defining its own identity.

Are we saying that this game is a forty-five year old man, or are we saying this game has caught explosive amnesia?

How is a game going to buy a motorcycle, huh?  I'm throwing in for multiple personality disorder.  One minute you'll be dancing and it will suddenly want you to sing.  Then just as suddenly dance.  When you think you have it all figured out it will want you to be the camera man.
