Product Description
Compatible with Playstation Move controller - not required
SingStar Dance for PlayStation 3 is a unique extension of the SingStar music gaming experience that adds dance gameplay to the familiar karaoke-like performance action that the franchise is famous for. Dance activities utilize Sony's PlayStation Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye camera combination to replicate precisely choreographed routines on-screen, while singing gameplay uses standard USB microphones compatible with the PS3. Additional features include 4-player multiplayer that includes multiple dancers, 50 audio/video tracks, additional downloadable tracks, the ability to upload performances to the SingStar online portal, and more.
Get into the groove with SingStar Dance
SingStar Dance is tailor-made for all you dancing machines and pop stars in the making. Utilizing the fun, new PlayStation Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye peripheral combination, along with traditional compatible USB microphones* used in previous SingStar games, SingStar Dance adds a whole new performance aspect to the SingStar experience by allowing players to dance as well as sing along to your favorite chart hits all within the same game. The game supports up to four players, with either one or two of these singing via a USB microphones, as the remaining players use PlayStation Move motion controllers to dance along to fully choreographer routines developed for the same song. The game contains over 50 audio/video tracks by original artists. These are all move-enabled, with the progress of singing players tracked on-screen via a familiar tablature notation, while dancing players have their own tablature, as well as a silhouette that mimics the motions picked up by the controller-camera peripheral pairing. Additional functionality includes new dance tracks downloadable via the SingStore and the ability to upload your video performances to M

Fun:
Put the disc into your console, start the game.
You're welcomed by the standard Singstar interface, barely changed since the first PS3 edition came out, but still, there are some minor alterations. It is rather good overall, the interface, so it's not a big issue. If any issue at all.
The tracklist of this edition... well... I am rather satisfied. I understand that you can't dance to everything and from the songs one can dance to the Sony team chose a few good ones - Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face', the Jackson 5, 'I like to move it' (the orginal version, not the Madagascar one), Livin' la Vida Loca, Hey ya by Outkast and some others. There are (less than 10 out of 30) tracks that I cannot digest at all. I don't know whether it's true for everybody, probably not.
The whole dancing thing... It's not better than Dance Central for Kinect, I suppose, but still, it's one of the best ways you can use your move controller at the moment. When you dance correctly tracking works well, most of the time at least. It's the other way around that is sometimes problematic, by which I mean that one can cheat the game if you put some effort into it (I don't think leg movement is tracked at all). On the other hand, what's the point?
The game offers a very good reason to move, sweat, exercise and that's what's most important for me. If you gain some satisfaction and fun out of 'dancing' in front of a TV, a single song can be easily played fifty times. Mastery takes time, doesn't it?
Routines are quite advanced and cannot be repeated nor mastered in the first approach but that's what powers the game's replayability. The sole process of learning can make a lot of fun.
I've started to run in circles, so let's just stop here to sum up.
Fun and exercise. And some more fun.
And remember... you don't have to dance, you can also sing (either alone or with a partner (either a singer or a dancer))
So I recommend it. Especially for this price.

Fun:
I think as this game tries to be a singing game the songs on it are designed for dancing not singing. Alot of songs are fast rap based and just not that much fun to sing! As for the dancing it throws you in at the deep end no guide just impossibly hard routines that are very frustrating! If you want a decent dancing game stick to Dance central on the x box or Just Dance on the wii!

Fun:
I looked forward to receiving this game for quite some time; I am a huge fan of the Singstar brand, and after getting the ps move controller, thought that it would be a great way to see how well the controller works and add some extra functionality to songs I'd previously bought.
The first thing that I should say, is that there is no practice function or step-by-step training option with Singstar Dance, and so you sort of get thrown in at the deep end with fast, and sometimes extremely complex-looking, routines. Whereas Dance Central talks you through everything slowly and pieces moves together, this game expects that you just get right in there and make a fool of yourself with no prior experience of the sorts of moves that you are expected to do.
After spending more time on the game, I'm sure that one would be able to learn the routines by heart, and get higher scores, but be warned if you have a Playstation Eye! As I have found, be prepared for horrific videos to be recorded of what looks like me fitting out with a PS Move controller in my hand.
That said, the finish to the game is very good, and nothing feels massively different interface-wise to past games. This is definitely a party game, and if you are looking for something to have a laugh with your friends at, then this is certainly the game for you. Otherwise, you should check out Kinect, as Dance Central really is a fantastic game when it comes to real-life dancing. It tracks your whole body, as opposed to just the location of the PS Move controller, in Singstar Dance.
Both are good for different reasons, and I would have no hesitation in recommending both.

Keeps the kids entertained
Bought this to keep the kids entertained. It does 2 player games, which would be fine if 2 kids could agree on the same song - don't suppose that's the game's fault. Read more
