| Description:
"Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife..." (Okay, stop singing.) Taking the catchy tunes from Disney's classic film, The Jungle Book, as its simple premise, Jungle Book Groove Party and Dancemat, adds one further element--you also have to dance. For this game, the PlayStation controller is turned into a mat on which you follow the instructions thrown at you and step in time with the beat. Mistime the step and you don't get the point; if you don't get enough points then Mowgli falls over. Fall over three times and you lose the level. With nine songs from the movie, including "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You", this game will literally have you dancing until the cows come home. Of course, for the uninitiated among us, there are a number of difficulty levels ranging from easy, which is actually very easy, to normal, which takes a few steps to get used to and then it starts moving on to hard, expert and crazy, with the latter involving really jumping around. The other added bonus to this pack is that the dancemat is really a controller and so is not exclusive to the Jungle Book Groove, giving some interesting results when playing any fighting or football-based game. This is a great product if you are looking for some fun at the party or merely aiming to combine playing video games with doing some exercise. With the songs also having karaoke words, it's not just the dancer that gets all the fun. Be warned however, this game will have you jigging in your living room way past your bed time. --Stuart Miles
