Ok - I know most of you are thinking... WTF!! NEITHER!!

I promised my wife at the start of the year, that we would end up with a singing game (aka SingStar) on the Wii. We are also likely to get a dancing game - but that will be DDR, and sometime next year.

These are the only two options I know of at the moment. HSM will be out in a couple of weeks here. Boogie has been out for ages.

(I would consider just getting SingStar - I do have a PS2 - but its going to cause a heap of TV input/plugging confusion if I go down that road...) 

...

Boogie:

 - pretty gfx
 - dancing segments
 - good production

 - "broken" singing 'logic'
 - questionable(?) song list
 - shallow dancing game (no cross between two)

IGN: 4.5/10

... 

High School Musical:

 - good/working singing logic
 - reasonable(?) song list
 - lots of unlockables (even if the game itself seems to be shallow)

 - ugly, last-gen graphics/presentation
 - no dancing (or anything except for singing)
 - High School Musical setting?!?

I can't say I have a love for EA - nor that Boogie has been $100 every where since it came out (although I saw it today for $80 - finally).

So HSM gets my vote. This vote turns into a purchase - with the option of a 7-day money-back option if the game bites.

(I would just rent them out - but I haven't found Boogie anywhere for rental...)
