Boogie

Genre: Rhythm/Karaoke

Developer: EA Montreal
Release Date: August 7, 2007

Boogie is not the most technical rhythm/dance game on the market, nor is it likely to be the most comprehensive karaoke experience, but the most important negative statement we can make after spending time with the game is that it is not, by any means, hardcore.

That was the biggest goal for us."

So this, King of Fighters: Maximum Impact, is really SNK’s fourth foray into 3D, and the
