Never mind Wii Fit. If you're looking for a good way to get in shape using a Nintendo Wii and a video game, then EA's Boogie Superstar has two clear advantages. Number one is that it's cheaper and number two is that you've got half a chance of finding it in the shops.

The game is the sequel to last year's Boogie, itself a mix of dancing and singing, and a title that originally came bundled with a USB microphone (albeit a fairly odd looking one). This new game is available as a solus pack, or for a premium also comes with a microphone, which you'll need to play the game.

Things have been stripped down a little since we saw the land of Boogie last, and this time it's a little more focused. As the game kicks off, you undergo some training to get into the swing of things and then you're into the segment where you choose your character and customise him or her.

The game's demographic is fairly clear at this point, given that the default characters could have walked off the set of any American teen TV show you'd care to name. And then, when you've got through this segment, you have the option to head off and try to become a star.

This is where the exertions kick in. For you'll spend most of your time with the game replicating the on-screen dance moves, at the tempo the program demands. This is far more involving than the glorified psuedo game of Simon that a dance mat title can become, as it's more about the hand gestures than anything lower down. If karaoke mode is active you also have to belt out a tune or two, but Singstar this absolutely isn't.

It is, as the song list betrays, a game aimed primarily at teenage girls. The genres of music offered are quite restrictive (pop, urban and techo), with Britney Spears, Rihanna, Leona Lewis and Hilary Duff a fair cross-section of what you can enjoy.

Around half of the tracks are locked from the off, but a few songs and dances down the line, more start to become available. You can start introducing your own dance moves over time too, should you so wish.

Boogie Superstar is a slightly tidier game than its predecessor, but it's more about tweaking and tuning rather than coming up with anything new. And as a bright, breezy piece of gaming entertainment, it really isn't too bad. There's little ambition to it, and once you've got used to its demands it doesn't push you too hard. But it's fun, well done, and likely to easily satisfy its target audience.

An evolution and touch-up rather than a full-on sequel, Boogie Superstar steadfastly knows what market to target and never takes its eye off it. As such, it's a fun, bright piece of software.
