SEGA slips to a new low...

[Nash]

damn, it's just sega releasing britney's dance beat. for a second there, i thought it was sega developing a britney adventure game. got my hopes up for nothing.

[Tommy Tallarico]

God damn them! How dare Sega try and release a game that might sell more than 5 copies! Death to them all!

It is sort of ridiculous, but not that surprising.

Companies have sought to include more females in the user base for a long time, and this coming out is no different than Yu Suzuki's (ahem, import only) game of a similar nature (Saturn, featuring a japanese pop star, can't remember the name). This isn't a road Sega has never negotiated. Besides, it's not that much different to me than, ugh, SC5.

The point is that this kind of stuff has been done before, and worse even. When we start seeing DMX and P. Diddy "make my own video" games, then we can be worried. In the meantime, this shouldn't surprise anyone. Especially not on the Playstation 2.

P.S. Britney sucks.

I wish Sega would develop their own Britney game. I liked Britneys Dance Beat, but there is little to no replay value.

I'm undefeated though.

Britney? Low? Pshaw. Maybe if it were WILLA FORD'S BAD GIRL BOUNCE. Or O-TOWN: LIQUID DREAMZ XTREME SURF. This is Britney. She is a STAR! She means $$$$! (Just ignore CROSSROADS.) $$$$$$! I was not a believer at first, but now I've seen the light!

Go grab a copy of her Live in Las Vegas DVD - it is the most brilliant piece of showmanship to come along in years. It opens with a girl in a baby doll nigthgown on top of the MGM Grand, shaking in fear as evil spidermen scale the side of the building in pursuit of her. She only has two options: wait for the evil spidermen to reach the top and do...well, whatever it is they have planned for her, or JUMP! AND SHE JUMPS! And then this fairy pops up and talks about fantasy and dreams! And then Jon Voight comes out and reads a story! And then Britney goes bungie jumping and fakes an orgasm! And dances in the rain wearing nothing but a cowboy hat! It was the best pop performance I'd seen since Dru Hill fighting leather clad red ninjas at the 1997 (or was it '98?) Soul Train Awards. Honorable mention goes to that *N SYNC concert HBO broadcast in 2000. ONE OF THEM DIED ON STAGE. It was great.

Yeah, what about that DC import-only game where you're the manager of a pop star and have to make sure she rises to fame? Surely Sega should worry much more about getting that published over here then Britany getting over there, right?

I'm waiting for Britany's Dance Beat to drop to $10 so I can pick up a copy, I'd like to play it, but feel it isn't worth anywhere near full price to me. I just want to see what the old Bust-A-Groove team has done with a rythym system.

Dam, I was hoping for a tenticle sex scene starring Ms. Britney. Something alone the lines of her being suspended over her fans, by a phallus in every orifice while her sweet juices rain down on them. Oh well, live concerts suck these days. I bet she'ed just lip sync the whole thing.

Hmmm... Britney lip syncing my hole. Now there's a thought.

She's doing that for her Japanese tour.

She does lipsync. I'm not sure how much. I can't say I was spending much time staring at her mouth.

I feel so dirty having typed that.

Why do I feel dirty? Well doctor, when I was a child my mother put me in this daycare center and...Oh, it's a long story.

And I was totally serious about my praise of Britney's concert. A++++ times infinity.

I will be buying the Britney game once it hits $10. It has to at least be better than SPICE WORLD. The only fun thing to do in that was adjust the camera so you could get a shot of super deformed polygonal Spice Girls panties. Oy. It wasn't even a game.
