  • Summary: It's the 25th century and our intergalactic space reporter dives into an adventure where she must battle with a series of dastardly villains! Are you ready to save the universe through the medium of dance? You must first battle wicked space nasties, the Morolians, who have attacked and subdued innocent Earthlings with their dance-inflicting ray guns. In order to break the Morolian's hypnotic grasp, Ulala must mimic the aliens' exact dance moves by keeping the beat with pauses timed to perfection. But the adventure isn't over just yet; Ulala must also face another group of intergalactic terrorists who have designs on world domination. What is Ulala to do but to kick-up some pretty funky dance moves against these evil invaders who are bent on taking over the world. Ulala is the Earth's only hope! [Agetec] - Contains both the original SC5 and the sequel, SC5: Part II, previously available only in Japan.… Expand

    From beginning to end, these games ooze style. [Dec 2003, p.54]

    A great package crammed with more value and personality than most rhythm games. [Dec 2003, p.143]

    Both games are short and easy to breeze through (though, believe it or not some sections are a little tricky), but it must be said UGA performed an excellent job of making the sequel far better in every regard.

    This is one of the few examples of real SEGA magic this generation. The classic 'Simon Says' gameplay has been only slightly tweaked... to give the game a better feeling of progression and variety. [July 2004, p.108]
