  1. A great game, created with style and care, that will be a crucial part of any Britney collection.
  2. While it is alarming how well her music translates to MIDI, the GBA handles her classics with amazing grace. [July 2002, p.93]
  3. Nothing on a technical level is incompetent in Britney’s Dance Beat, but nothing is done so well as to make it fun outside of its core audience.
  4. It's short and definitely geared more as a memento to Britney fans than anyone else.
  5. Ultimately though, this is one for serious Spearites only. [GamesMaster]
  6. The game just isn't deep enough or complex enough.
  7. The gameplay that exists in BDB is decent, but there isn't a whole lot of it (though the difficulty level may make it take awhile to complete).
  8. Pales in comparison to the Olsen twins' superior dance party.[May 2002, p.138]
  9. 53
    There's just not a whole lot of game here, but what there is, is pure Britney. It's as shallow as the diva herself.
  10. 50
    Pressing A and B at the right time during a song might be challenging, but it's not a whole lot of fun.
  11. More of a novelty item than an actual game.
  12. As a game, Britney fails on every level. [Winter 2002, p.38]
  13. Although the game is short-lived, some thought and creativity clearly went into the production, and there are just enough extras to keep Britney fans happy.
  14. About the only way Dance Beat could be any worse is if it were poisonous to the touch, which, thankfully, it is not. [June 2002, p.87]
