REVIEW: Dance
Central 2 is the sequel to the Xbox Kinect game Dance Central. The game allows players to use their bodies as the
controller, since the Kinect can detect and even record the movements players
make. In this game, players mimic the dance moves being shown on the screen by
the animated avatars and get points for how well they are executed. Players can
break down and practice dance moves, and play with or against other players.
This sequel features a workout mode that tracks the approximate calories the
player is burning, and allows players to set up playlists of their favorite
songs/dances to serve as a workout. Players can also play a story mode to
eventually join an in game Dance Crew.
OPINION: Dance
Central is another, and in my opinion more fun and effective video game that
gets players off the couch and moving. The dances are fun and challenging both
in physical effort and to perform them accurately. I am guaranteed to be
sweating and out of breath after a good 30 minutes of playing this game.
IDEAS: So You Think You Can Dance is a popular
reality television show, and would make for a great program theme using Dance
Central 2. Attendees can battle for high scores on certain songs and crown the
library’s best tween dancer.
