I purchased Boogie for my wife despite the bad review. Horrifing . Simple awful.
We were prebared for a bad cheezy game, but it was just broken in the way only EA can break a game. It was annoying seeing all the pieces of a game executed so poorly. Glitchy interfaces and all.
The dance portion was unplayable as you just tilted the Wiimote back and forth like a metranome. This doesn't seem like a bad thing, but it always the same and never matches the songs so instead of being immersive and making you want to dance along with it you just sit on the couch and rock you hand.
The singing portion is pretty broken as well as has been covered in the reviews, and the songlist isn't great full of remakes so you wont be able to follow songs from memory.
We traded it in and bought DDR which is much better. Not great and is missing the ability to add songs via the sd card(an option which would make it a killer app IMO). Frankly the rhythym portion of Rayman made us dance far more than Boogie.
I don't know anything about HSM but it is better than Boogie, without question.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
