My 9 year old daughter loves it.... she plays it as much as she plays animal crossing (which she now loves after at first hating) and way more than she plays eye pet, which is gathering dust.

I'm glad she is into to it too, great exercise for her.... she really gives it some!

Can games that appeal to girls much more so than guys ever get good scores on metacritic?

Something tells me the answer is "No." Metacritic may have its uses, but for a game like this it's pretty useless. Read the IGN review and see the whines to know what I mean. One quote jumped out to me in particular:

There are no buttons to be pressed, no unlockables, no tiers of songs, no progression of any kind.

Yeah. Since when did games need any of these things? Especially unlockables, which is one of the most annoying "features" of current games we're forced to put up with. Even Nintendo can learn from this - it's idiotic when playing Mario Kart or Smash Bros at someone else's house with a group of friends and being forced to play with less content (less characters, vehicles, stages, etc) simply because the owner did not yet "earn" it.


edit: Wanted to add to those claiming this is the "worst best-selling game ever," that this game is getting great user reviews. The game is being praised, really. This can't be said about the other low scoring high sellers like Deca Sports or Game Party.
