EA’s Casual Entertainment Label announced earlier this morning that the Boogie franchise is returning this October in Boogie Superstar. The game, which is Wii exclusive this time around, will allow players to sing, customize their own characters, and pull off dance moves with the Wii Remote to the game’s track list of over 40 songs. It’s also being heavily tailored for the girl gamer, which is a theme that we’re starting to notice today.
“Boogie SuperStar promotes self-expression, creativity and empowerment for girls worldwide,” said Robert Nashak, VP of Casual Studios, EA Casual Entertainment. “We have created a game where girls don’t just observe someone else’s rise to fame, they experience it themselves, singing and dancing their way through a world most girls only dream about.”
Artists such as Rihanna (”Don’t Stop The Music”), Katy Perry, Maroon 5 (”Won’t Go Home Without You”), Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, and Kanye West will have songs in the US version, with the international version having another 30 songs that’ll accompany it. Boogie Superstar will also have a featured artist that will help to heavily promote the game, something many say hurt the first game (among other things). No details there yet, but they’re saying it’ll be soon.
More details on the game can be found below.
Boogie Superstar details (via EA PR):
In Boogie SuperStar, players don’t just play along, they are the star of the game. Girls will have a blast belting their favorite tunes into the microphone, and performing real dance moves that are captured on screen using the Wii’s motion-sensing technology. The journey to stardom doesn’t have to be a solo! With two- and four-player modes, girls can play with their friends, sing and dance with their friends or against them in fun competitions that show-off their singing and dancing talent!
Players begin the game by customizing their character, choosing from millions of possible combinations to create a performer that is as unique as they are. They are then “discovered” and whisked away to an island where they learn what it takes to be a star. While on the island, players build their singing and dancing skills, performing in posh environments fit for a rising star, including a studio, a poolside stage, a breath-taking terrace, and a yacht. Once performance skills are perfected, girls are ready to perform for a panel of judges in the ultimate competition, the Boogie Star Show! Only the best and the brightest will be able to outshine the competition to become a Boogie SuperStar!
