The Talented Ms. Spears Conquers Yet Another Medium

The question for the day is not what Britney Spears has done, but what can't she do. She rose in the pop music industry, starred in a major motion picture, wrote a book, has dolls made in her likeness...and now, her first video game for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.

Britney's Dance Beat is an incredible piece of work. From its amazingly fluid motion captures, awesome digitized music and solid graphics, it is more than just a game. It's a great way to develop hand-eye coordination. Five hit singles are featured in the game: Baby One More Time, Oops!...I Did It Again, Stronger, Overprotected, and I'm A Slave 4 U. There are three levels of difficulty to choose from as you help Britney dance her way through the Practice and Concert modes. After successful completion of each song, you will unlock pictures from her Tour Book and mini Puzzle games. Once you've cleared all the songs from both Practice and Concert modes, you will be treated to an actual music video clip, which I must say is the crowning jewel of this game. Mere words can't describe how absolutely amazed I was at the power of the GBA's capabilities.

While I've noticed that Dance Beat shares some similarities to Dance Dance Revolution, Bust-A-Groove and Space Channel 5, it has a unique style of its own. You get to see an automatic replay of the game and watch Britney in all her dancing glory without having to concentrate on the pushing the corresponding buttons to make her dance. However, the video simply blows it all away. It's like having a miniature 4-inch television.

If you're a huge Britney fan, there's no doubt you've probably bought the game. If you're looking for a good dancing game, make Britney a part of your collection. Britney's Dance Beat won't disappoint.

I expected Britney's video game to be exciting to play and I guessed right. Britney's hits are included while playing and that is a good idea. The game has good graphics and it's a game for everybody. Good game overall.

well its ok

Im only giving it 5 stars because im a britney fan. This game is really hard unless you use cheats or put in on easy. It gets annoying after a while. I suggest waiting for the PC or PS2 versions.

...does it again!

Well, Before I give my thoughts on this title, let me say that I don't like Ms. Spears' music. This game is another version of the popular arcade game that started the whole "Dance Dance Revolution" craze. You have to use the A and B buttons, along with the directional joypad to keep in time with the music while your player character, in this case Britney Spears, dances on screen. You are rated as to the accuracy in which you press the corresponding direction/button in time to the music. I've played all the Gameboy Color dance games, as well as the Gameboy Advance game "Mary Kate and Ashley's Girl's Night Out", a dance game just like this one here (which came out just before this game), so it's only fair that I impart to you my views of this title.

The graphics are crisp, and in my opinion, better rendered than most. I'm not saying jaw-dropping, but it did offer a nice surprise to see that the graphics reached beyond the MaryKate game. The music samples, some of which are digitized, are quite accurate, keeping in the theme of Britney's "music". The music is catchy and bouncy (think soundbite pleasing). There's a dance mode (where you'll be spending 95% of your time - as this is the heart of the game), tour book mode- which unlocks different surprises as you clear more levels- thus adding replay value to the game, and a Puzzle mode which is the old slide puzzle game where you must move tiles to make pictures of britney. There's no battery back-up function , but rather a password feature to track your progress.

I'm totally into this type of game, the keeping-in-time-to-the-music-gameplay, and it's something that Britney here does well. It has a better dance meter than other dance type-games (the place you'll be looking at to time your dance moves), and it will keep you coming back for more- just to unlock more in the TOUR mode. This one's a winner over other dance games you may have played on a handheld, as the music and graphics are crisp, clear, and well animated, the sampled music is sharp and keeps you toe-tapping to make sure you keep in time (that's pretty much what the gameplay is all about now, isn't it?). Even if you are not into games and are a Britney Spears fan- here's a suggestion: Buy yourself a gameboy advance and get this game (or nag your parents until they give in). You won't be disappointed.

If you manage to make it through all the modes, you'll be treated to a 45 second fully digitized full motion music video of Britney Spears live (from one of her concerts).

Not Worth it

I was stupid to buy this game. I order this for my daughter because she is a big Britney fan. It had to be the worst purchase I have ever made! Most of the game is pressing the A and B buttons as the little spinner goes over the designated letter. It is not challenging at all. My daughter played with it maybe four times since she has had it. All you do is press the A and B buttons over and over and over and over again . I tried to save what my daughter did with the code and this didn't work either. What good is a game when there barely is any challenge? The other part of the game was Britney puzzles.This was boring. This game should be off the shelves. Don't buy it- IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

This is a great game.This is my favorite out of all the dance games.The graphics are amazing.I just got my GBA today and this was the perfect game for me.But,there are some dissapointments in this game.For example,WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE WORDS?All the words are not included in the songs.I also think they could of added some more of Britney's songs to make the game more longer.I also thought that this game was to easy.Is it just me,are does it seem that when a star gets their own game it ends up being way to easy? Anyway,this game is wonderful.I would like to play Mary-Kate and Ashley for the GBA.
