UK REVIEW--It has long been a theory that anything can be improved with choreographed dance routines. The people at Sega are champions of this cause. Space Channel 5, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, and even Bayonetta manage to get in on the action. Rhyt...
Wonderful, uplifting musical numbers, Some excellent rhythm action minigames, Controls are responsive and easy to pick up, Enjoyably silly plot, A genuine feelgood game.
Too much running around, Inconsistent scoring in minigames.
