Dance Dance Dance!

Two days ago I received my copy of dance central 2, my highly anticipated dance game on kinect! The most talked about feature of this game has to be the two player simultaneous dancing which is a big miss in the first game as kinect has always been able to detect more than one player on screen since its launch last year! A quick recap for those who doesn't know about dance central, basically its a dance game which uses the xbox kinect to detect your body's movement and by far the most accurate dance game in terms of body recognition! So how was it ? Let's find out!

Two player Mode! Yes!

I played through a new sort of career mode and won the first crew, riptide, over medium difficulty, and it will unlock stuff, story wise it's very simple not cutscenes or whatsoever, don't expect an RPGs-esque story telling here, it's just a dance game. Just some chat between the crew and then you start dancing already, so to me basically you will want to play over for the unlockables only.

The usual dance option let you select all the songs from the start of the game, and dance central one music is no where to be found when upon first load up the disc. You will have to enter the code found on your first dance central disc's back cover and then pay 400 MS point for the game to download from the online server! (what....??? Paying again for something which you already paid for? Ridiculous!) but I still pay considering how much fun now I can challenge my sister to Lady Gaga's Just Dance side by side, how awesome is that! And then the third mode which was already available since the first game was fitness option where you will just dance song after song for calories burning.

All DLC from the first game is playable directly on Dance central 2 and I just read from the twitter today, Harmonid is going to have a special discount promotion for all their DLC this november, sweet! New music include hit songs from Lady gaga, Rihanna, Bruno mars, David guerreta, Justin Bieber and Far east movement. So those who has a kinect should definitely grab this gem, and those who have an Xbox who are still waiting for a reason to buy kinect should definitely give this game a try!
