I got an Xbox Kinect out of curiosity (and a sixty-six percent discount on the price due to previously sold games)... and I'm having a pretty good time with it. The game that's holding my attention is Dance Central. It's essentially a Dance version of Rock Band. It's pretty interesting. Last Friday, I had a few people over to play the game and it was a huge success. People enjoyed the "Dance Battles," the dance moves, the character personalities, the songs, the motion controls, and the small amount of unlockables.
The only downsides I see thus far is that there is no Rock-Band-esque Career Mode, there are a small amount of songs, there are no customizable characters, there are only two outfit options for the pre-determined characters, and there are only a handful or so of different stages to dance on.
It's interesting how the Kinect is allowing more people to enjoy games. I assume it's because traditional controllers seem too complicated to laymen. Yet, I find this strange... mostly because I think the current controllers are very simple. Oh well, either way more people are playing.
Dance Central is cool.
