That's great. It's amazing how much I hear my (female) co-workers talk about how fun this game is. We can get so caught up in the reviews/graphics/sales/whatever of games that we forget that when a game allows people to have a blast, well... sometimes that's what it's all about.

Glad you and your girlfriend are enjoying the game.

you people don't realize that all you do is move the wii mote around, and it says "perfect" "good" "perfect" it barely tracks you at all, might as well just go on the wii browser and search for a karoeke dance video, and start moving the wii mote around, and bam you have just dance...

Try playing the game with friends with an open mind, instead of despising it for its success (or feeling too macho to get into it). The inaccuracy is half of what makes it so damn fun, honestly, accurate score tracking would not improve the game all that much. Besides, I find it hard to believe you'd be able to keep up with someone actually following the movements if you're just flailing your hand around - just try it yourself. And even if it did work, doing so is just like using cheats against your friends in a multiplayer game - the option is there, but why would you take it?

Goes really well with alcohol, definitely. My crazy friends wanted to have a tournament for this next time we play, should be hilarious. Actually, one of them (a PS3 only owner) is seriously considering getting a Wii because of this game.

Oh, finally, the game is $40 (only $10 off from normal games, but in case you cared). As for the youtube comment, the same could be said for many games nowadays that focus so heavily on cinematics (a friend of mine without a PS3 just watched all of MGS4 on youtube, was enough for him)

edit: Yeah, wish Gaga was in it, too. But don't kid yourself, the game sharing the song title wasn't the reason for its massive success. It was biggest in the UK, topping the charts for weeks, that doesn't happen without some crazy word of mouth.
