Dance Central Review for Kinect

Dance Central

Dance Central for Kinect utilizes the Kinect technology to read the player's body as you follow a series of on-screen prompts that follow a dance routine. These prompts each represent one move, and that move can range from an advanced series of upper body motions to a simple shuffle step. There are more than 30 songs in the game and each track has three different difficulties to play on, which have to be  unlocked in order.


Dance Central does have some hard routines and can be difficult to execute, but there are a few helpful modes in Dance Central for new dancers.
The way kinect reads the your dance moves is quite impressive and you really have to get moving if you want to master a routine. The routines are realistic for the average person and can be extremely entertaining, especially if you practice and aim for mastering a hard level routine. Most of the moves are also totally applicable to the real world dance floor, so you might even find yourself picking up a new technique to employ at the club.


Dance Central is lots of fun, especially with a big group of people. It's can be a fantastic workout if you put the effort into your moves, but the experience is far from perfect. Menu navigation, which is handled by waving your hands, takes some getting used to.

Dance Central

Dance Central is great fun, it gets you moving, and it's absolutely perfect for parties. The dance routines and the accuracy of the Kinect implementation is what makes Dance Central worth a look.
