Boogie is one of the very popular music video games falling under party games in the music genre. The company named Electronic Arts developed the game for the Wii, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS consoles.

Players are given a choice to create their character. Once they have done, they use Wii Remote to sing and dance through the same character. They can choose between a karaoke and a dancing game to perform. Karaoke gameplay is same as used by SingStar and Karaoke Revolution using a USB microphone in which the players aim at matching their rhythm and pitch with those of the original. A musical staff keeps indicating both, the correct pitch as well as the pitch of the singer at that particular moment of time.

The dancing gameplay uses Wii Remote with Nunchuk attachment. The remote is to be moved in the most aesthetic dancing style depending on the beats of the song. If the players are using Nunchuk attachment also which is optional to use in the game, they can control the character's facial expressions also as the music goes along.

In the story mode of the game, the players must achieve a minimum score before they can advance further.

The game features both, the competitive and the co-operative local multiplayer modes in order to serve two different kinds of party spirit.
