    The only real goal in the game is to unlock multimedia extras. Very little Britney! I want to play with Britney more!

    A surprising good dancing game, featuring excellent graphics and motion-capture work.

    The game is hindered by unoriginal and lackluster gameplay mechanics that, while easy to pick up and play, does little to provide an experience that is as good as other music games currently on the market.
  5. GameSpy

    Realistic dance sequences, solid graphics, and a soundtrack from Spears makes Britney's Dance Beat a surprisingly entertaining game.
  6. GameSpot

    An enjoyable if short-lived experience, and it serves as a good introduction for the uninitiated to the world of rhythm games.

    A solid rhythm/action game, there’s just not enough of it.

    Oddly though, despite the game's limited premise, Britney's Dance Beat holds a curious mixture of addictive gameplay and fascination.

    The game is probably about 5 hours of gameplay, and another half hour of extras. Once you’ve unlocked it all, the game will probably collect dust. For that reason, it’s hard to recommend it to anyone but the most ardent Britney fan.
  10. IGN

    It's short on songs, it's short on musical variety, backgrounds, dancers, and its even a little short on Britney.

    Ooh baby, baby, does this game get old in a hurry, with only five songs. [July 2002, p.82]

If you were to play through the whole game you’d have to listen to the same 5 songs about 60 times and that’s assuming you don’t fail any levels, which you will because the difficulty ramps up quick… Full Review »
