2.0 out of 5 stars eh... no thanks., April 5, 2001

I picked this one up thinking of something more along the lines of Bust a Groove-- no such luck. It's very cutesie, and if you like cheesy disco (new and old) it's probably a lot of fun. But if you don't like listening to 'YMCA' or 'Barbie Girl' over... and over... and over again, stay away at all costs.

The game is set 200 years in the future, in a city where dancing has been outlawed. Guided by the ultimate dancer 'Dr. Dance', You guide three (squeaky) girls through learning to be superstar dancers. Like Charlie's Angels, but not.

Control in the game is based off of the two analog sticks, and you must move them around in synch (no pun intended) to the music. The closer on beat you are, the better your rating for that move.

I suppose in a party situation-- drunk and amongst other drunks--this game would be pretty amusing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game, but a little too easy, May 28, 2001

By A Customer

.... It's challenging at first, but pretty soon the game just becomes way too easy with a mediocre storyline. So if you are looking for a relatively easy but interesting game, pick up Unison.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, Good Fun, a Bit Short on Length and Challenge, July 17, 2001

This review is from: Unison (Video Game)

Essentially, this is something of a dance simulator where the two analog sticks control your arms. You "practice" a pre-set routine, then try to perform it from memory (although guide circles are available) to earn your score and unlock more songs. The plot and inter-song movies are absolutely surreal, j-cheese at it's finest. The song selection is actually a ton of fun, with everything from Nelly to Aqua.

While the game looks good and is fun to play, it lacks somewhat in longevity. There are only about 12 or so songs in total, and with 3 routines for each song (easy, medium, and hard), you can essentially see all the game has to offer in a week or so. The game also lacks that innate replayability of Parappa or UmJammer Lammy. With those games, I never minded replaying a level I had beaten 100 times before. With Unison, I was pretty much "finished" with each level after beating it with all 3 characters.

Still, it's nice to see a music-based game even make it to US shores. So if music games are your thing, you can do far worse than picking up Unison.
