In terms of video gaming, Japan is still a pretty major region because videogames has a wide market over there. Sure DanceMasters is the best selling dance Kinect game but that's because it appeals more to an Asian audience, especially Japanese. I personally loved the dances of DanceMasters more than any other dance game because there was more variety and it actually looked like full routines. Wherever games are considered mass market, then there's a reason to try and appeal to them.
At first I did love the Kinect and bought it at launch and while being a dancer and learning some moves from Dance Central and DanceMasters, I kind of regret buying it now because my dad and brother hog it and tend to remove my 360 out of my room so they can play. As for functionality, all the games we have for it work really well. I do think if they had at least a better resolution camera (doesn't have to be HD) it would've improved it's censors.
I've played through the first 2 archives so far and I've really enjoyed it. I would stop after playing each level because of how sore my arm would get, lol. I like the gesture B setting better since it allowed me to use both arms for both firing types. I did have to repeat the 2nd level (3 times actually) but didn't really mind at all since "purifying" enemies while bouncing to some trippy music was really fun regardless of repeating the same level.
I have a question, know how the choreo is slow paced on the trailers and everything? Is that just a difficulty setting or how the game plays for every setting? That's the main thing holding me back because I don't want a slowed down version of MJ's dances, I want the full blast.
My Kinect has noticeable lag BUT the funny thing about it is that it's our TV's fault, not the Kinect because my dad for some strange reason didn't feel our perfectly fine 48" plasma TV wasn't good enough for games (or watching) and decided to buy a 60". He made a bad choice in brand because it made both playing games and watching TV worse. There was hardly any lag in the Kinect and now that and the Wii had lag and playing 3D Wii games were pixelated (like Sonic Colors) so UGH, especially playing Dance Central which I'm kind of fed up with right now because the game isn't reading my movements properly, which I still think is the TV's fault
I've read several reviews so far and they're been ranging from 50%-75%. It says the games work well and that they're pretty fun, but there's a severe lack of variety and many of the games feel similar and repetitive.
I'm not getting until like, I can get it used for cheap at Gamestop
Lol, my brother yelled across the hallway saying "There's a new dance game coming out for Kinect!" And I yell back "Don't bother! It sucks." Thank goodness for the review on here.
Although I do want a Kinect title that doesn't wear me out
Well for me, I still enjoy Dance Masters (since I still like that para para style) so as long as the controls don't suck, it should be a good game (plus I hope it is so my brother can chip in, haha).
I got this game due to the review it got from IGN (7.5/10) and I actually like it. Although I'm still not confident taking on Grand Prix, the controls work pretty well and I have lots of fun racing. I do hate how easily you can drop places from one attack but yeah, I agree with IGN's rating.

Re: Pump Up with a Child of Eden Launch Trailer
The game is really fun, although I can only play one level at a time because after each level, my arm is sore due to all the flicking XD
Re: Kinect, PlayStation Eye and Wii All Mount Your TV
But what if you only own 2 of them? Although I have a feeling eventually my dad will get a Move
Blah, we have no where to mount that anyways, haha.

Still waiting on an amazing Kinect game to come out since Dance Central (and Kinect Sports but I don't own that).
Re: New Dance Central DLC Has a Freaky Vibe to It
Need to check the difficulty first for these songs. I'm sure my brother will love Super Freak haha. I'd rather play Le Freak XD

Re: Dr Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises
I like read a review to this game so I know if it's worth getting :3
Re: DanceMasters Gets the DLC and Demo Treatment
Hmm, maybe I'll buy the outfits when I start actively playing this game. It's like every 10 times I play Dance Central, I play Dance Masters.
Re: Selected Dance Central DLC Drops in Price on January 24th
Oh doo doo, that means those of us who bought them already (I got all 4) spent 50% more ><
Re: Michael Jackson Rocks With You in April
Well for me, I still enjoy Dance Masters (since I still like that para para style) so as long as the controls don't suck, it should be a good game (plus I hope it is so my brother can chip in, haha).
Re: Michael Jackson Rocks With You in April
I want to see the review first before getting the game. If it gets at least a 7 (hopefully an 8 at least) I'll get it :3

Re: Dance Central and Sky Team Up for UK Dance Contest
Sounds awesome. I used to watch Sky 1 when I lived in Germany. I think I'm one of the few actual dancers who really wanted to buy this game.
Re: Janet Jackson, Blur and Rihanna Come to Dance Central Tomorrow
"Disturbia" isn't all that, well for a dancer but it is kind of fun although VERY tiring on your right arm, haha.
I LOVE "Control". It's hard at first but yeah, I really like the complicated intricate moves.
