Entertainment WeeklyThe rounds are too short and the tunes are too few, but all in all, Groove lives up to its name. [16 Apr 2004, p.L2T 19]
-
Like "EyeToy: Play," you might wonder how often you'd play this alone, but it's fun enough (and has enough multiplayer modes) that it's absolutely worth owning. [May 2004, p.97]
-
If you can get a group of friends who don’t mind, the game becomes insanely fun. And those videos can later be used for blackmail.
-
A very solid, playable game that stands above the vast majority of the games in the rhythm and dance genre.
-
Ridiculously fun and engaging.
-
The music is great, with enough variety to please just about everybody some of the time.
-
Both the single and multiplayer modes offer tons of fun, and those secret videos it shoots while you’re playing are sure to embarrass you time and time again.
-
The challenge with Groove is to make it feel less like a mechanical button-pressing game and more like you’re actually dancing, and that, my friends, is all up to you.
-
The first title was very cool, but Groove is so much better.
-
Should really appeal to fans of rhythm games and fans of watching their friends look like idiots.
-
Groove could be the perfect addition to your parties if it wasn't for the fact that EyeToy requires lots of light. If you like your parties glaringly bright, though, it's a hit. [May 2004, p.93]
-
I almost died laughing during a round of battle sync mode, in which two people dance simultaneously doing coordinated moves. [May 2004, p.90]
-
A bit thin for a single player game, but multiplayer mode is great for gaming parties and makes it easy for your non-gaming friends to join in on the fun.
-
A lone EyeToy-keteer is going to get bored rather quickly with Groove. It's like playing Scrabble by yourself -- it can be done, but it's just not the same without encouragement or competition.
-
Definitely a niche purchase rather than a must buy, but those that dig this stuff will find that EyeToy: Groove has got a good beat, and you can dance to it, as the kids always said on American Bandstand.
-
With plenty of goofy tricks up its sleeve, Groove provides an incentive for plugging in the EyeToy and inviting some friends over.
-
Computer Games MagazineThe game does suffer from a sub par song list, but if you're really into the music genre, the chance to Groove is more than enough reason to get an EyeToy. [May 2004, p.11]
