Summary: It's A pretty good game
Review: I thought that Britney's dance beat had awsome graphics and great music like "I'm a Slave for You", "Overprotected","oops I did it again" and "Stronger" I think anyone you tries it will Love it. And you don't really get fustrated on this game like others. All in all It's a wonderful game!

Summary: The Best Dancing Game Ever
Review: If you have been to an arcade lately, you may have seen a group of people standing around a dance game called Dance Dance Revolution. Well, if you like Dance Dance Revolution and the pop sensation Britney Spears, this is the perfect game for you. Britney Spears comes to your PC this May with Britney's Dance Beat. The object of the game is to be selected to Britney's new world tour. You must follow the symbols in a circle at the bottom of the screen. As you complete songs, you will earn Britney's videos and concert footage. Two player mode is even better. You can compete against a friend to see who has the hotter dance moves. When you put together a combo of 10 or more "Great" or "Perfect" steps, your dancer destracts your opponent. In addition, the dancer on the screen portrays Britney's real dance moves. In conclusion, this is a great game using "first person technology." If you are a Britney Spears fan (and who isn't?), this is a must have.

Summary: Not even one for the fans...
Review: PC version reviewed.

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of the Konami 'Bemani' style rhythm games, and enjoyed Bust A Groove and Dancing Stage immensely. However, I was not prepared for the totally boring and poorly produced mess that is Britney's Dance Beat for PC.

The game begins with your choice of dancer, and you can then move on to attempting to audition to become one of Britney's support dancers. Once you have successfully auditioned, it's off on the road with Britney for the performances. If you clear all stages, you get to dance off against Britney herself.

Each audition and each performance consist of groups of arrows scrolling down the left side of the screen. To successfully execute a dance move, you must complete up to three combinations of up to three keys (the arrow keys and space) at the right time, when the keys appear in the 'targeting bracket'. When dancing against Britney, there are no timing errors allowed, your moves must be exact.

Each time you clear a stage, another backstage video of Britney is unlocked in the video vault.

Lastly, there's a freestyling mode, where you are able to perform any of the available dance moves, and indeed choreograph your own dance routine.

Now, the problems with the game. One problem is that the timings of the keypresses weren't always in time with the beat. It often helped to not listen to the music when timing keypresses! The presentation is very sloppy. It doesn't feel like you're dancing at a concert in front of thousands of people in the concert stages. The backgrounds are very simplistic, and don't do a good job to convey a sense that you're actually in any of the exotic locations the game claims to represent.

The worst problem by far is that the game is far too easy, and the game can be finished and everything can be unlocked by an average player in under one hour. The game start out being VERY easy, and doesn't get much harder. It's all too easy to clear every stage in the game without missing a step.

After seeing the PS2 screenshots I was expecting some nice in-game graphics, but not so - they are terribly simplistic for a PC game. The videos are OK, but nothing special. After playing this mess, I'd be interested to see if the PS2 version is any different.

Avoid. Even if you're a fan you'll be disappointed.

Summary: Buy It ...
Review: This game is great, it has cool song's, video's, and I LOVE IT !
The cover of it is totaly different from the one you see above. Anyway's the cover you do get is much better, because the one you see up there is a drawn picture of Britney !!

I Love The Last Part Of The Ga,e Where You Get To Dance With Britney Herself !! And The Free-Play Is Soo Cool Too !! And The Remixes Of The Song's "Baby One More Time, Oops I Did It Again, Stronegr, I'm A Slave 4 U, & Stronger," Are Soooo Cool .....

The poster inside is so cool,and It's huge [Hight: 40 Inches / Lenght: 20 Inches] Thats Pretty Big For A Poster !! ... *

Oh and info when you play the game [If you haven't figured this out yet !] When you see a a bok and it's ba=lanke, [when you're playing the game] that mean you have to press the space button !!
The instructions are to use the 4 arrows, but if the bok is blank you press the space bar !! [Just incase you didn't know that !! ... *

* And To Unlock Video #9 In The Video Volt You Have To Answer 20 Question's Out Of 25 Question's Right In The "Britny Test" I Like To Call It !! ...

And I Defenetely Recomend This Game To Every Britney Spears Fan,
And Anyone That's Not A Britney Spears Fan !!

Well, I Hope This Review Isn't Boring, And That It Helped You Decide Rather You Wonna Buy It Or Not !!

***** BYE *****

Summary: This isn't a game, it exists to stroke her ego.
Review: Though the game is authentic, as even the pixil version of Britney lipsyncs all the songs, it's just as boring as all of her TV performances.

I don't get why anybody would find this game "fun" for any reason. Though I guess there's a small market of monkies with cash, looking for repetitive games.

The money would be better spent buying a computer to download all of her songs instead. She didn't work to make them, why would you want to work through a terrible game to hear them?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: better than i expected
Review: when i bought this game, i was hoping for the best. im not that dissapointed!! i also own the GBA version, which is totally different than the PS2 and PC versions. the PC version, is very close to the PS2 one, but with extra features, like Free Play, where u can make up ur own choreography, and Britney Quiz, with over 100 different Britney Spears questions. i bought this game because i am a fan, and i recommend it to all of the other britney fans across the world, because u can sing along to her songs, and dance to the choreography. i give it 4 out of 5 because there is not that much songs to choose from.
