Re: Kinect Reviews

Don't they already have like 4 DLC for Dance Central ? I am sure as the months go on, more will get added. i know Lips have a hell of a lot of DLC for it on a weekly basis it seems but yet I don't know anybody that owns or even played that game LOL.

They have about 7 songs. It would be nice though if they did a few a week.

Re: Kinect Reviews

It's not a surprise that you don't see a few a week though:

Because [Dance Central DLC] comes with a brand new unique routine with the three difficulties, we have to: engage the choreographer, find the song, license the song, come up with a routine, get them into a [motion capture] suit, shoot all the choreography, integrate the animation, build the filter system, the flash cards, the [voiceover] for ‘Break it Down’ — it’s a pretty elaborate process that is not only a lot more expensive, but a lot more time consuming.

Re: Kinect Reviews

Does anyone recommend any of the currently available Dance Central DLC songs? I guess i'm wondering if they provide any new or unique moves from what's already in the game.

I actually wouldn't mind a Bollywood song as DLC, not that i'm into the genre at all lol...

Re: Kinect Reviews

I have some people coming over tonight to play. I don't like most of the DLC songs but I gotta grab me some Cameo you best believe..

Does anyone have only about 6 feet between their couch and the kinect? Would it work okay?

I played at my in-laws who have a really small living room and had no problems. It was a little cramped but I was able to play 2-player. Some games do a little calibration at the beginning to see if you have enough room.

Thats my issue right now. MY TV in on a stand and I have a sectional living room set, the end that sticks out is kind in front of my TV, so when I played the other night I has to swivel my set thank god for swivel, and turn the kinect to where I was standing. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to set this thing up.

Yeah, i think mine's 6ish feet and it's good enough but you can run into space issues...I'll see soon with Dance Central whether or not it'll be good for 2 players or not (Kinect Adventures doesn't like my space for 2 but is ok for 1). I've yet to try turning my tv or something to get a bit more room, because 2 players hasn't been much of an issue. I may end up moving my 360 to the office if I set up a man cave type setup since my GF's moving in with me (crazy I know lol)

Re: Kinect Reviews

Hahaha I just realized that Levar Burton aka Roots guys aka Reading Rainbow guy aka Jorede Laforge on star trek next generation played the detective on that Cameo video.

Oh how I mss the 80s.......the hairstyles, the clothes, the dances, the music..........

Me and my sisters use to dance to that song all the time when we were kids. I remember my dad use to always say the guy singing looked like he went night night in prison.

Even if you don't particularly like the songs, grab them anyways. It's awesome to have even more new moves.

And also, Word Up is easily my favorite dance on the game, overtaking Down.

Re: Kinect Reviews

I'm trying to 5-star all the songs for the related achievement and am doing quite well having done 27/32 songs. But "Don't Sweat the Technique" absolutely kicked my butt on Hard, and after 5 attempts at it i'm barely scraping a 3-star rating...The other 4 i still need to do ("Down", "Days Go By", "Pump Up the Jam" and "Drop it Like its Hot") i've got very high 4-star ratings after a few attempts and i feel those are just a matter of time, but this friggin' song might just prevent me from my ultimate goal!
