What's great about it: Just a great family game, fun and very entertaining!
What's not so great: Little hard at first but once you get the hang of it...WATCH OUT!

"This game is great for all ages! From 4 - 44 we all had a blast playing this game. The music is lively and the games keep you moving to the beat (regardless if you get the shakes right!). One thing we did find out, we bought the maracas to go with the game... SO NOT NEEDED! They are heavy and after a while you feel like they way a million pounds... Our suggestion... Just use the Controller and Nunchuck.... Over all great game, fun and definitely a two THUMBS UP!"

What's great about it: music is great
What's not so great: sometimes hard to move controllers right way. Directions confusing.

"This game is very fun. It take a lfew times to get the hang of it but worth trying. I love it and couldn't put it down. Senior parent learned how to play and help with learning more coordination. Especially the minigames."

What's great about it: Great remake
What's not so great: The controller cords get in the way.

"This game is one of the best. It is a perfect remake from the original game for Sega Dreamcast. The controllers are easier to use, there is are tons more songs, also alot more mini games. I recommended this game when it was for the dreamcast and I still recommend it today now for the Wii."

What's great about it: This game is great fun for the whole family.
What's not so great: The cable from the remote to the nunchuck can get in the way or seem too short.

"This was the best game we've ever played as a family. You workout without even realizing it. I liked it better than (dare I say?) Guitar Hero! I rented it the first time because the ads made it look cheesy, but it was well worth it!"

What's great about it: has fun for all age levels
What's not so great: some moves wii-mote won't register

"I bought this thinking it would be a simple game to move and excercise with. I didn't realize how fun and addicting this game could be. My older teen children looked at the cover and said it was a little kids game, then when they saw me play, they took over and had a blast. Good fun, great music and many levels to work with. The bright, vivid colors and grooving moving music really keeps the excitement going. The extra games are fun too.
The only problem we have had is sometimes the Wiimote won't register your moves and you have to go back and re-calibrate a few times to get you and the wii in sync."

What's great about it: great music, addictive
What's not so great: only up to 2 players

"This game is so much fun! I didn't know what to expect when i bought it, i thought it might be more for kids, but i brought it to a friends house and we played for hours! It is a tad bit difficult to get the hang of it at first, but once you find your rhythym you'll find it hard to stop. The music is great, it really gets you movng. There are minigames and many features to unlock like new songs and sound effects. This game is fun for all ages, and would be a big hit at parties. The only down side so far is that you can't have more than 2 players."
