I played this game and it was horoble. The only good thing about it was the graphics. Yeah it was good to control and stuff but what a dumb kinda game. Dancing in a game why cant the people just get up and dance themselves. Personally I hated the soundtrack so my recomendation is to stear clear of this game and go get something worthwhile.

It's gimmicky, but creative, new and fun

True, you'll either love or hate this game. Play this game as a light break from shoot em up games (altho I doubt hardcore Doom or Halflifers would touch this). Yes, the graphics, and music are fun and amazing. Ulala moves with more style and sashay than most people and even Lara Croft. People who complain that the controls are difficult must realize you have to have rhythm when you press the buttons - just listen to the background music to help out. Overall, a nice light break from the stereotypical triumvirate of fighting/driving/shooting games. Simon meets Janet Jackson in space.

Gorgeous to look at ........gameplay?

This was an extremly hyped game and while I must admit it was a beautifully rendered game it has the depth of a teaspoon. It was not terribly fun to play unless of course you think simon says needed a championship. It really does look good though! Just keep tapping those buttons and watch Ulala [dance]! And then go to the next scene and tap those buttons And watch Ulala [dance] some more! And then go to the next scene and watch Ulala [dance]......again? Oh did I say this game looks great! Oh I did, well then tap those buttons in time with the music and watch Ulala [dance]!......some more? And just when you think you're Denny Terrio on Dance Fever you gotta do everything reverse of what they do. WOW What a twist...did you see that coming or what. But man what Graphics. Did I mention the graphics? Oh I did. Well than tappity-tap tappity-tap-tap tap-tappity Look im dancing! Cool graphics, oh my god I just saw Michael Jackson!

We want more Ulala!!

Do you like dancing? Funky music? Cute girl reporters in shiny orange mini-skirts? Then Space Channel 5 is a game for you! The game has a very simple premise...Dancing aliens have invaded earth! To challenge them, foxy space reporter Ulala must watch their dance moves and then copy them exactly. Sounds easy? Well it is if you have got rhythm...I have watched some of my friends play this, people seem to either get it straight away, or completely suck at it! Perhaps this should be a game to rent first, to see if you have what it takes to hit that beat. The control is incredibly unforgiving about timing - the slightest delay and you get a penalty, which, with some very complex and syncopated button bashing in the later levels, can be very difficult to master. Once you get the knack, however, things start to look very rosy, in fact this is the much reported drawback to the game - it is only FOUR levels long! You could thrash it in an afternoon, although there are secret levels to visit after you beat the game (even harder - the one in the TV Quiz Game studio is a nightmare!!), it is a real shame to see the final credits coming up so rapidly. But, it looks real good, and Ulala is so cute and sexy that you will be sure to come back for more. Her moves are slick and highly realistic, a credit to the designers. A special mention must be made to the music, as the space/retro/Austin Powers/kitsch soundtrack is absolutley outstanding, and is one of the games strongest features. As the credits finish rolling, a footnote says "To everyone who loves music, dancing, and games"....you get all three with Space Channel 5.

pretty cool

I recently bought Space Channel 5 at a used video game store, and I love it. I play it constantly, defeating aliens quickly. I bought it yesterday, so I'm only on level 3, but I think I'm doing OK. The only fault of this game is that the rhythm is hard to keep up with. Sometimes you miss it when you think you did it right, and it gets on my nerves. But overall this video game is extremely fun and totally awesome.

I think Space Channel 5 is one of the best dance games ever. One of the only flaws of this game is the control. When you push a button, Ulala (the main character) doesn't do the moves she was supposed to. I think the greatest part of this game is the way they walk from alien invasion to alien invasion in a stylish sort of way. The other characters, or Ulala's rivals, Jaguar and Pudding are very strange characters, Pudding being a former pop princess and Jaguar being a... I don't know if hes a man or a woman. Sounds like a man, but looks like a woman.
Overall, Space Channel 5 isn't such a bad game after all. All of the shooting and dancing with aliens relieves stress, I guess.

Up down, Up down, shoot-shoot-shoot!

Great game. Ulala is the cutest, sexiest video-game character I've ever seen. However, don't buy this game if you get easily frustrated or you'll end up breaking the CD into little pieces. The controls are difficult to master, and sometimes even if you do it perfectly the computer still says you did it wrong.

And finally, at the end of level 4 when you have to shoot the antenna, you have to HOLD DOWN the last shot. I played level 4 to the end about 8 times before I figured that out, speaking of frustrating.

If you can get past the difficulty, the game is great fun. The music will have you dancing around and the dance moves are spectacular. The voices for Ulala and the other characters fit them perfectly and will make you laugh from time to time. I highly recommend this game for anyone who likes a challenge and doesn't give up easily.

Great, but you may need to buy a game shark!!!!

This game is very unique in that you use a sexy female to dance with funny little aliens. This game is a lot of fun, but it can be very hard to achieve the points necessary to go to the next levels.

Therefore you should get a cheap gameshark. There are codes for Infinite Health and for Max Viewer Rating. Those codes allow you to make mistakes, but still move throughout the levels.

As I mentioned that the female star is "sexy". (...)
