Forums - Microsoft - DANCE CENTRAL - Best Dance Game EVER in the history of the World

Tried the Demo for Dance Masters, I agree with Puggsly.  It was really bad in comparison to Dance Central.  OP seems to be rigtht

Will Dance Central ever get released in Japan?  If Microsoft expects to sell kinects there they really need the best software they have released in the country.  They have my other two kinect favorites there, but not Dance Central

I Wish that game would come for the PS Move somehow.

Unfortunately, that is impossible. Dance Central doesn't just use hand controls for songs. It uses your whole body, especially the feet. That is what separates it from every other game - every other game only focuses on hands (Just Dance) or feet (DDR).

Its not impossible per se. They would just have to reduce the game to tracking hand movement only.

The Just Dance games for example don't actually require you to dance. You could just waggle the remote. I guess for fans that little interactivity is better than dancing to a DVD.

At least on Move they could create dancing games that actually do track your hand movement. It wouldn't be as satisfying as Dance Central on the Kinect. But I think people would still enjoy it.

Did you actually play Just Dance 2 and get good scores doing that? Because that is not what I experienced nor did other people who actually played it experience. And even if it were true so what? Do you use cheat codes in the games you play? I don't, and i have never seen anyone who was out to enjoy themselves play Just Dance by just moving the remote.

The most PRECISE dance game may be Dance Central, but the most FUN dance game is Just Dance 2  - yes by its very nature it is less precise than Dance Central, but my idea of having fun when dancing is dancing with others, and while you can dance along in Dance Central, it is not true multiplayer, while both Just Dance games are.

dance game casual ?????? you're kinding me right ????

ever been in an arcade store??? ever seen real casual in there ???? ever seen one of those "casual" go as first choice on DDR ???? and did you ever checked what kind of people actually make the high scores on these ????

hands down the peeps that I know that actually buy DDR and especially the one mastering it are all the most hardcore gamers I have in my cricle no question ask... those are the same people I know buying mostly halo modern warfare call of duty and madden and play it for hours straight....

PAC MAN=casual...  DDR=miles away from anything casual.....

Less precise? What an understatement. Its waggle vs full body motion tracking.

Honestly, I've barely played Just Dance. My family owns it and the MJ game, their complaint is you don't actually have to do the dance. That's also what reviewers generally say. So either you or many reviewers are lying.

If you think Just Dance is more fun, good for you. A lot of us find a game that actually tracks you more fun. Just bear in mind games like Dance Central is the future of the genre.

Those misfits you often see playing DDR at an arcade aren't the masses.

The masses played DDR at an eatery or at home.

Ofcourse DDR is casual. Its no coincidence it has been a hit on the Wii.

Its hard to say what is 'fun' when it is subjective, and not objective. Multiplayer is fun, certainly, but to me, having the best dancing game makes it fun. Dance Central is the best dancing game in my subjective opinion because its the only one of any available title to require you to dance. Sure, it doesn't have multiplayer, but that will come. What will never come with Just Dance is actual dancing - that is, unless Ubisoft makes it for X360.

Well, everybody in my vicinity who is playing JD and JD2 is actually dancing and really trying to do the moves correctly, but I understand what you mean. And I totally agree, fun is totally subjective, to some simultaneous multiplayer dancing is more fun, to some precision dancing is more fun.

Regarding multiplayer coming in the future to DC - maybe yes and maybe not, but I live in the now and what I play now, not the future .

Yes, and if you played Dance Central now, you'd know why people really, really think its a great game. When the game demands you do 1:1 dance moves, it is pretty fun to pull off.

Oh, and there is that whole aerobic exercise aspect to it. A far better workout than most any other game on the market.
