I'm going to be the brave one soul to actually give this game a review.

So, okay. Think DDR. Very popular in the time of 2002, you could probably already trip and land on a bunch of ripoff games on the premise of buttons/arrows and music and rhythm. Now suck out most of the rhythm, anything that could make the songs stand out from each other in any way (at a point it just becomes a cold wet slurry of the same public domain beep-boop attempt at EDM) and add a crusty CG doll to your left that shimmies and seizures around in the same small handful of dance moves ad infinitum, while with /every single button you push/ you'll have her talking over herself with 'good!' 'perfect!' 'I don't think so!' 'break it down!' 'you rock!' and so forth to a volume where you can't even focus on the song to begin with if you wanted to. Sometimes you'll get peace and quiet for the 'freestyle' mode where you can push buttons to make your chosen doll wobble and jerk around with her hot dance moves for about ten seconds before getting back to the gameplay, but acting like that's any reward is a stretch. I think the most you get for rewards in this game is maybe an alternate outfit, and maybe that's the most you can ask from a doll game spat out to sucker little girls out of mom's money.

And naturally, one night I was up until probably 4 in the morning playing through this, concerning the people in my house with the nonstop glob of cunty little dolls screaming the same overlapping phrases at me at a worrying rapid pace. I think at a point I may have stopped feeling emotions and was going off of pure primal instinct. This should have just been something I emulated once and got over with, but it has the fortune to be a physical object in my house because it was on ebay for like 2 bucks.

TL;DR This is not a game and it's really, really rough to remember this was what young 'girl gamers' had to settle for back then before the more proper advent of flash game websites. Break it down! Amazing! Good! Break it down! Perfect! Cool! You rock! Totally hot!
