NMS: Cutting a rug in Boogie

Joystiq managed to get down with EA's Boogie while at the Nintendo Media Summit and their impressions were quite positive. Not only do they remark that the game looks great, but they also comment that the gameplay was fun and exciting. Also, they got some time with the karaoke portion of the game (which uses that bundled microphone). As far as graphics go, they went so far as to say it was the best looking game at the Media Summit, only challenged by the likes of Mario Strikers: Charged.

Boogie is broken down into two main sections: the rhythm-based dancing, where the player must flick the Wiimote in-time with the song causing the on-screen character to dance with the beat, and the karaoke portion utilizing the microphone. This second section of gameplay is highly reminiscent of titles such as Karaoke Revolution and SingStar.

"the player must flick the Wiimote in-time with the song"

I thought the point of this game was more free-style dancing as opposed to a more restrictive DDR style of play. I guess they decided that would be too difficult to implement? Or perhaps the "flicks" don't have to be in a particular direction, just on the beat?
