Hmm, so basically what I expected; good reviews for Dance Central, mediocre for everything else. Far too many shady  "birdmen" games. Kinect needs more games like Dance Central and Children of Eden that actually look like they have some effort put in and aren't trying to be crappy Wii third party knockoffs.


Really? A month ago I seem to remember you saying:

Hmm funny, now why wouldn't MS want people to get there hands on this device as soon as possible and spread their impressions? What do they have to hide?

This is just classic MS.. *Wiggles fingers. "Go buy our mediocre product everyone! Don't pay attention to the accounts of lag, or the fact that you cannot play while sitting. Don't pay attention to the fact that it only recognizes two people at a time or that you may need to change your clothes to brighter colors. Don't worry about the fact that it will cost you $300 for an Xbox 360 and another $150 for Kinect, that currently supports 17 games that all look like they are mini games from Mario Party yet cost $60 each."

I don't see what more proof people need that this thing is going to suck, big time. It is all typical smoke and mirrors from MS. Sure it will sell like mad for a couple of months from the sheer novelty of 3D motion controller-less gaming, but expect the sales of this thing to plummet after people realized they were duped into buying an overhyped Eye Toy 2.0 with a bunch of games equivilant to Wii 3rd party shovelware. Seriously, if people think there was a major hardcore bashlash against Nintendo for the Wii, they haven't seen nothin yet. Now the Move may be a shameless Wiimote ripoff but at least Sony is supporting some games for it that aren't an insult to gamers' intelligence.

 

I particularly love how "At least Sony is supporting some games for it that aren't an insult to gamers' intelligence" and "I don't see what more proof people need that this thing is going to suck, big time" translates to "I knew Dance Central would be a good game." Please stop talking out of both sides of your mouth and pretending like you've given Kinect or its software a fair shake when you clearly haven't.

What's next in this revisionist history you've concocted? I suppose all of us just imagined that the Titanic actually sunk, right?

Very representative, from the time I've had with the game. I actually just decided to get Kinect for Dance Masters last week, but no review scores made me weary . . . I went with Dance Central instead. And it's awesome.

Kinect Adventures, on the other hand, to me was total, complete, crap. I took it out of the Xbox probably twenty minutes in.

Dance Central is doing well, according to meta it's 1 point away from being best rated dance game ever, but then I'm sure there was a90 rated DDR  ... hmm


Don't quote me on this but I think it's DDR Extreme. Ironically, it's my least favorite DDR ever.

Gameinformer gave it a 8.75

I also want to know the future of my beloved DDR.

Awesome. Watch Dance Masters end up bein the real "must-have" dance game instead of Dance Central. As much as I'm loving Dance Central right now . . . it doesn't have Naoki in it. And besides, Dance Masters was kind of the reason I got Kinect in the first place . . .

. . . I love dance games. A lot.
