Game sites widely disagree on Boogie review score

Early review scores vary greatly when deciding upon a final score for EA's Boogie, a rhythm and karaoke-based game for Nintendo Wii.

Boogie -- Go, yield, or stop: Which is it?

Boogie -- Go, yield, or stop: Which is it?

Early review scores from GamePro (hey that's us!), Games Radar, and 1UP pin the game in the 80th, 70th, and 30th percentile respectively for an average review score of 60 percent at present. By comparison, user reviews are at 82 percent according to Meta Critic.

This isn't the first time Wii has been victim to significant variance in review scores. Since first available last November, a single Wii game can see scores as low as the 40s and 50s and as high as the 80s and 90s. In fact, Wii games consistently score lower than Xbox 360 and PS3 games overall due to the wide variance and despite its being the most best selling console this year.

David Jaffe may have summed it up best in a recent interview with GamePro. "There is definitely a divide," he said when asked if hardcore media and gamers feel alienated with the casual games predominantly found on Wii.

Boogie is out now and retails for $59 with microphone.
