EA Bringing Boogie Back

Today Electronic Arts announced a sequel to last year's music game, Boogie. Titled Boogie SuperStar, it seems to ignore the first entry and its weirdo characters. Instead, this time out players will be dancing and singing with customizable cartoon girls. EA says there will be millions of possible characters to create. The game will include over 40 songs from artists like Rihanna, Fergie, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Good Charlotte, Britney Spears, and Kanye West.

Versions of the game aimed outside the U.S. will include local artists from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. EA is apparently still holding onto its ace in the hole – a "global music sensation" who will act as Boogie Superstar's featured artist and help promote the game.

"Boogie SuperStar promotes self-expression, creativity and empowerment for girls worldwide," said Robert Nashak, VP of Casual Studios, EA Casual Entertainment. "We have created a game where girls don't just observe someone else's rise to fame, they experience it themselves, singing and dancing their way through a world most girls only dream about."

The premise is that players are "discovered" and taken to a mysterious island to learn how to become a star. Two- and four-player modes will be available for co-op and versus play.

Boogie SuperStar will set you back $59.99 and includes a microphone.
