DHGF: With a price tag of only five dollars, Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove: Monster Mix is a hard game to say no to. You get ten stages of dance based gaming in single player mode, another ten for multi-player, along with the ability to unlock zombie background dancers and collectibles that you can use to customize how your own personal Gabrielle looks. The gameplay is far better than comparable full budget releases like Just Dance and manages to be a lot of fun. The game is obviously geared for younger gamers and is pretty light hearted for a game with monsters, but it’s a great start to the GGG franchise and hopefully a sign of things to come for the 3DS game of the same name being released later in 2011.
The rocky sales start of the 3DS is the reason why we're not ghostly grooving yet.
Pop Arma writes, "Gabrielle, the somber star of Natsume’s ghostly rhythm-tapping title, is having some trouble. Not only has she managed to sneeze her soul straight out of her body (join the club), but now she has to travel to neighboring Monster Town to get it back! No wonder her rent is so cheap…"
gamrReview - "Dancing games have seen a huge resurgence as of late with titles like Just Dance and Dance Central leading the charge on consoles, but what about the handheld market? Yes, I know it’s not (currently) possible to bring a fully fledged dancing game over to a portable system, it just doesn’t make any logistical sense with the currently available technology but that just means that developers trying to get us moving and shaking on the go just have to get creative. This is where Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D comes into play, a new rhythm/dancing game for the Nintendo 3DS. At Natsume’s booth here et E3 I got a chance to play the game and walk away with cautious optimism about the direction that it’s heading down."
