Dance Central Video Game Review: A Whole New Way To Groove

Dance Central is one of the exciting and interactive games available from the new Xbox Kinect game system. As the name implies, the system is an interactive platform that relies on your movement and is without controllers.

It is an advanced version of motion gaming, surpassing the technology of the Wii’s motion gaming platform which requires a motion sensor controller to complete gaming tasks. With Kinect, you are the controller, using motion and voice commands to play interactive games, which allows an incredible amount of interconnectedness between the gamer and the game and system.

Dance Central is a game that lets you do more than dance in front of the mirror. The game features today’s most popular music and spans across different genres, from RnB to hip-hip to rock and pop. You get up in front of the TV or computer screen, by yourself or with friends and dance away.

The game doesn’t merely play songs and let you and your friends dance to it. The game has a character who acts as your choreographer and teaches you all the latest dance moves. Dance moves like the Dust Off and The Sunrise. Many of the moves are found in your favorite music videos.

It is a great way to dance and learn how to dance. If you’re a little shy and hesitant to join that dance class, Dance Central gives you an introduction and detailed lessons about how to get into the groove. You can spend time in the comfort of your own home, by yourself or with friends, and learn how to perform a complete dance routine for a song.

Everybody loves to dance and this is a great excuse to get up there and have a dance-off with your friends. Who will become the better dancer?  Dance Central and the Xbox Kinect system is not only a revolution in technology, it is a great way to stay in shape and further immerse yourself in the game.
