Boogie, the dance game launched by EA in August for Wii, is taking its act on the road again. When it was released, Boogie was introduced by EA as a party-game in which the player may impersonate one of the five distinct characters or "Boogs": Bubba, Jet, Julius, Kato and Lea. Characters can have their clothing, shoes, skin, hair, and accessories customized and the game can be played in karaoke or dancing mode. The game features 39 covers from which the users can choose their favourite tunes.

Altough some of the game critics praised the game as a fun an entertaining experience, others had rated it as boring.

Despite the critics, EA announced it will release the game as a Nintendo DS version that features the first 3D gameplay on the handheld system.

The Nintendo DS version introduces new gameplay modes and mini-games not found in the Wii version such as DS Download Play and Multi-Card Play, three main dancing gameplay modes including Copycat, Freestyle and Choreography as well as more than 10 mini-games.
