Product Description
Requires Kinect Sensor - not included
DanceEvolution is an all-new concept where the game responds to real dancing, with Kinect for Xbox 360 demanding players move their body to the beat and position of their bodies against a variety of on screen markers.
DanceEvolution will offer users the ultimate dance club vibe, and boasts the most realistic and exhilarating dancing experience to date. Kinect for Xbox 360 allows players to watch their actions in real time and also save two of their original routines for use as back-up dancers in the game, no controllers required. As players dance in tune to the game's music, they can also take snapshots of their favorite dance poses, save to local albums and share the fun with friends. Utilising Xbox LIVE for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, players can also challenge up to four friends around the world and enhance their experience with dance sequences, theme packs and more.
Featuring 30 tracks spanning club music classics, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, and Techno, DanceEvolution dancers can groove to their favorite songs. The game also offers three gameplay modes for the ultimate dance experience: Dance, Lesson, and Status. In Dance Mode, users compete to become the 'Dance Master' as they play and unlock their favorite songs and dance along with a friend. Lesson Mode offers a tutorial service, and Status Mode allows players to check their play records and review the titles they have earned. Players can also compete to determine the ultimate dancer with multiple difficulty levels including Light, Standard, Extreme and Stealth.

Fun:
It's been a while since a game has had me torn so much as Dance Evolution. I have grown up with the DDR / Dancing Stage games from Konami, and this is the latest title in the company's Bemani "rhythm action" franchise. Indeed, this game has been so carefully targeted at the Japanese market that it sadly doesn't quite fit into the Western way of gaming...yet.
The big thing that will put most casual dance game players off is the songlist. While the development team (of which legendary DDR music producer Naoki Maeda was a key member) have tried their best to include a range of styles and flavours in the mix, the big thing that they forgot was to include any songs that a casual player would actually recognise. In fact, every song here is either an original track created by Konami for one of the DDR games, or it is an old Eurobeat song (a hyper dance style which has only ever been commercially successful in Japan). So straight away, people will be left wondering what on Earth they are dancing to. Personally, I adore the songlist as it holds a lot of very fond memories of playing the older DDR arcade machines, but it's important to know that this isn't just another vehicle to promote the Lady Gagas and Black Eyed Peas of this world...
As for the gameplay, I'm sure that most people will compare it to it's biggest rival currently, Dance Central. While that game allows you to employ a gentle learning curve, breaking each routine down bit by bit until you have perfected the moves, Dance Evolution throws you straight in at the deep end with barely even an armband to help you float. The easier difficulties have only a few of the visual queues to follow - arrows to trace along with the on-screen avatar, circles (or ripples) to hit in time to the music and green poses to match - but you will still feel hopelessly lost on the fairly complex routines for quite some time.
It's a shame, as graphically the game is stunning (more so than the comic-style Dance Central) and certain moves are pretty catchy. Sadly, I fear that this game has missed the the fundamental premise that Dance Central displays from the minute you put the disc in the console - a dance game should be fun and easy to pick-up and play. I am a dedicated Konami music game fan and for that reason I will persevere with Dance Evolution, but for those looking for a bit of fun to get the party started, Dance Central is the clear choice.

Fun:
Basically i love this game. But then again you'll probably hate it. The songs are totally japanesed focused, if you werne't a hard core Dance Dance player the concept of this game will probably elude you. People say its just match the shapes on the screen, yes it is on lite mode. Give it time and get to master level and you'll be close to a heart attack.
If you're a fan of super eurobeat music and like your dance routines you'll love this game. no, it doesnt teach you to dance, no the songs arent ones you will ever have heard of, and no it isnt easy.
If you want a fun game to embarrass / injure your drunk friends with on a friday night this is it. play against an opponent instead of one at a time. play over xbox live with a 10 year old japanese girl who will thrash you.
Spend some time, unlock the harder levels and song packs, dont just stand there tyring to match the ripples and shillouttes without doing the whole dance and enjoy being able to watch your previous attemps dancing in the background next time you go on.
Highly recommend this game

Fun:
I gave it a fair go. The menus are good and stable (which can be a positive for a kinect title). The game projects your image onto the dance floor, where you join a silver bimbo in making vague wafting gestures to not very exciting music. It would be perfect if there was an academy for "embarrassing dads at weddings" as this would certainly ensure a rigorous standard of dull dancing. Only really aimed at a specific market and not very energetic or exciting. Deux points!

Best dance game out there
I've played Just Dance 3. I've tried Dance Central 1 & 2. I've played this one and although I feel there is a big limitation of songs on this game - the dancing just feels "right". Read more

Terrible game
Previously played on dance central and bought this game by mistake. It's not dancing, it's just putting your arms in the air at the right time to songs I've never heard off.
