Dance central will be kinect's pusher. Harmonix is very good with music games. Unlike activision who makes overpriced guitar heros with different songs (usually guitar hero [insert band]. While harmonix gives cheaper band dlc packs.

Intresting choice. It's refreshing to see a diffrent choice other than something like RAGE.

that one depends, since the editors can prefer the artistic value over technical quality.

Yeah, when the Kotaku editor said that Dance Central was his game of the show on the Bonus Round... I exclaimed something fowl.

actually the game does look decent, not something i'd be interested in but way better than that DDR crap, and more accurate than Just Dance

i'm just making fun of Crescente because he was hyped for Kinect so i knew he would pick something from it

Hey, at least it teaches you actual dancing for the most part. I can almost see myself in the club with a cassette tape on a chain around my neck doing moves like the knockout and the hitchhike... :lol:

I did lol heartily when Kotaku announced this as best of E3, though. It was the only Kinect game that looked remotely interesting to me, but still...
