Daily Radar
A blast to play. The game oozes style in the same way that "Space Channel 5" did, and the control scheme uses the dual sticks of the PS2 controller better than anything since "Ape Escape."

The gameplay is almost completely different, the language dubbing is horrible, but the soundtrack is rock solid and the new motion capture is definitely hipper.

It is a fun game that anyone can play without shelling out for added accessories or peripherals, and it simply oozes style.

Blends disco inferno sensibilities with technological prowess into one magically delicious cocktail, which goes down easy and is every bit as intoxicating as the type of brew it takes to get your antisocial ass out on a real-world dance floor.

The process of learning prolonged dance patterns as the game unfolds can be a bit of a bummer. Still, the story and characters are enteraintaining, the graphics are uplifting, and selection of familiar popular dance tunes will keep you grooving.

PSX Nation
Packed with gorgeous sights, great music and a unique/challenging control scheme. But it's also short, very hard and grows repetitive rather fast.

Gamers with an open mind and a block of time to set aside will find Unison to be something new, something fresh and definitely something different.

The fatal flaw in Unison is the unforgivably shallow gameplay. All of the other elements are there: a fun cookie-cutter story, cheery characters, and a bouncy, eclectic soundtrack.

The game is rated "E" for everyone, and it will likely find ways to bore and possibly annoy everyone who plays it.

Alluring pop divas…political rebels…musical party game...Unison spreads itself too thin trying to satisfy all of these criteria, and ultimately comes up short everywhere.
