3DS Critic Reviews

While Gabrielle's Ghostly Grooves 3D provides a creative, memorable world full of lovable characters, the gameplay itself comes off as kind of run-of-the-mill. Still, if you love rhythm games, Ghostly Grooves brings enough personality, laughs and fun to make it well worth your time.

Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove 3D is not a well rounded rhythm game, but it has plenty going for it.

But we expected more of this retail sequel to a WiiWare game, and it almost seems like this game gave up the ghost.

Cuter than a puppy knitting a little scarf, but very frustrating in some key areas. [May 2012, p.98]

The reality is, when you pay for a retail title you expect something a bit meatier. And while this looks, sounds and plays great while it lasts, you will find yourself screaming for more.

Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove 3D is not a bad game, but it falls short of being a great game due to its long dialogue sequences that can be easily identified as unnecessary padding.

Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D is a fun rhythm game for kids, but it needs to work on its footwork before it enters the dancing game hall of fame. It spends far too much time chatting in rehearsal than it does performing, and even then the game’s over before it’s barely begun. If Gabrielle had a wider repertoire of steps to her name, Ghostly Groove 3D‘s worryingly high eShop price of £12.59 might have been more palatable, but ultimately it leaves us screaming for all the wrong reasons.

A hard mode makes things a bit more fun, but it becomes available only after you play through the game once. [Sept 2011, p.82]

Neither compelling nor a decent rhythm-actioner. [Apr 2012, p.49]
