Kinect: Dance Central

I love dancing and this product really tests you be it as a novice or pro dancer you'll find something to challenge you and this game is a real party starter, we've had several parties since buying this and everyone loves this game especially after a drink or two.

The graphics are superb love dancing with Emelia or Taye and wait till you unlock Elliot is all i'll say.

For the songs with well known dances these are incorporated normally at higher levels otherwise you feel like your actually learning a routine.

The workout option is good for estimating how many calories you burn whilst having a barrel of fun and if you get good enough the is an option to dance without the flashcards which is really good at testing your skills at remembering the dance.

You can buy new tracks from xbox live and currently we have Disturbia (good dance), Temperature (Top Notch), Word Up (love the Tug of War) and Because of you (think the calibration could be better as it struggles to match the smaller moves)

All in all the best game i've ever played, without a doubt 110% better then Just Dance as the whole of your body is monitored.

Everything about this Game is Fantastic. The dance moves, the songs, the Break It Down feature (that teaches you the moves) the graphics, which oddly enough feel next gen. I think the only downside to this game is the unlockables. You can unlock characters, costumes (which there's only 2 of) and venues, but hopefully this could fixed at some time with an update? This deffinately shows off what Kinect can do, and it's SO much fun to play, not to mention it gets you fit! If you love Dancing and own Kinect you HAVE to get this Game

This really is an outstanding game, its one of the better ones i have played for the kinect that is currently available.
Fun if you are young
Fun if you are old
Great for all the family!
Its also great for getting you up off the couch. So if you want to burn some of those unwanted xmas calories. This is well worth a buy.
Be warned you may lose all your evening/weekends!! Plus the next morning after hardcore playing this. You might need to take a long hot bath to relax those stiff muscles!!

I just got a kinect especially for this kind of game. I've used the Wii for the last 2 years and while I've thoroughly enjoyed it it does have some limitations which the Kinect technology overcomes.

This game is so much better than Just dance or the MJ experience I own on the wii. Simply because of the Kinect's ability. It can tell exactly what you're doing so your whole body is analysed and compared to the dancer in the game. That sounds like it's going to be a whole lot harder than the Wii (and presumably PS3) dance games where as long as the controller is moving OK in one hand then you're home and free - but it isn't as the game is written in such a way that the easy level and easier dances are simple enough to get you into it.

There's no really fancy footwork on easy level but the arm/body movements are similar to that of the harder versions so it's a good way of easing you into it.

The practise mode is very good too, and really helps you to learn those moves.

The Kinect tracked me perfectly and rewarded me with very embarrasing pictures of my "freestyling".

Highly recommended.

I am enjoying this so much I'm going to order another copy of the MJ experience for the Kinect as I'm sure the technology will improve on the already very good Wii version of the game.

I should begin by saying that I am not one for dancing, but Dance Central is a genuinely great way to learn both simple and complex dance moves as well as keeping fit.

To its credit Dance Central WILL convert cynics thanks to its haul of diverse dance tracks, vivid visuals and wealth of options.

The Dance Battle mode is great for if you've got a few friends over as it gives you the opportunity to either show them your moves or to give them a solid three minutes or so to laugh at you relentlessly as you struggle to perform the simplest dance moves.

Dance Central's Workout mode is a welcome feature as it allows you to roughly calculate how many calories you're burning off whilst you bust out your best moves, which will suit any fitness goers a treat.

And finally, Dance Central has even swayed my girlfriend who has finally conceeded that gaming can appeal to her!
