Boogie getting down on PS2, DS this holiday


As hinted at in May, EA has announced that the all-singing, all-dancing Boogie will be released on the PlayStation 2 (fake box art above) and DS this holiday season. When it debuted on the Wii in August, Boogie's musical sing-and-swing gameplay left some critics gyrating in pleasure and others convulsing in pain, the latter screaming "shallow and mindless" to the other group's "simple and accessible."

EA's press release claims that the DS verse-ion of Boogie will feature "the first 3D gameplay on the handheld system," a statement made less outrageous when it's followed by mention of special (and no doubt embarrassing) 3-D glasses. It also promises new gameplay modes, multi-card play and rather unbelievably, more minigames compared to Wii. The PS2 version isn't as thoroughly explained, though its content will likely differ less than its means of input.
