 Great game August 19, 2003
I really enjoy playing this game. It offers 3 levels of difficulty (each one challenging), great music mixes, comedic cut-scenes, and great replayability. It can be played by the whole famliy, and you can even dance along (if you're so inclined). The only real drawback is that you have to learn all the moves of the song (with a very helpful guide/tool) before you play the level. This is good because you know more or less how well you will do (it won't throw you anything you shouldn't expect), but it takes more time that way. I reccomend this game for anyone who enjoys music between the ages of 8 and 80.

The graphics and the music of the game are great. However this game can not be played with dance pad. I thought this game like the Britney's Dance Beat game can play with dance pad, but it is not. I am very disappointed.
 AWFUL Game... June 10, 2003
Had the worst story ever... so poor. The graphics were poor too, and the music. I have a feeling that, were it the current soundtrack or the original I'd hate it either way. It wants to be Bust a Groove (great game,) but the system is aweful, easy and not fun. It's more tedious than anything else. Total waste of money.

Well, I must say, this game had me laughing for hours, be it Doctor Dance and Friday eating his hair, or Ducker and his androgynous pelvic thrusts while murmuring about his ducks. The characters are charming, and the graphics are visually pleasing. One of the 2 areas where this game lack are it's newly recorded soundtrack. Featuring Nelly, Apollo 440 and Aqua, just to name a few, the good ol' J-pop from the game's original soundtrack just had a better feel. The other area is it's short length. Many determined gamers will find the game complete within hours. Once the dance routines are memorized, there isn't much else to do in the game. The bonus levels are good, but with songs by artists like OPP... it's not much to look forward to. Dance gamers, I'm not doubting that this is a must-have for your collection, just be expected to pop Bust-a-Groove or Dance Dance Revolution in the PS2 as filler... *^_^*
 Great Music, Good Fun, a Bit Short on Length and Challenge July 17, 2001

Essentially, this is something of a dance simulator where the two analog sticks control your arms. You "practice" a pre-set routine, then try to perform it from memory (although guide circles are available) to earn your score and unlock more songs. The plot and inter-song movies are absolutely surreal, j-cheese at it's finest. The song selection is actually a ton of fun, with everything from Nelly to Aqua.While the game looks good and is fun to play, it lacks somewhat in longevity. There are only about 12 or so songs in total, and with 3 routines for each song (easy, medium, and hard), you can essentially see all the game has to offer in a week or so. The game also lacks that innate replayability of Parappa or UmJammer Lammy. With those games, I never minded replaying a level I had beaten 100 times before. With Unison, I was pretty much "finished" with each level after beating it with all 3 characters. Still, it's nice to see a music-based game even make it to US shores. So if music games are your thing, you can do far worse than picking up Unison.
