Scheduled for November 24, Michael Jackson The Experience is a dancing game scheduled for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Playstation Portable Nintendo DS and Wii. This last medium we tried to Just Dance dedicated to the King of Pop.
Ubisoft decided to release the big game can not blame him: Just Dance series sells well. This time, it is with a title dedicated to Michael Jackson on which he will have to wave his arms. Will You Be There?
Anything, Anything, Anything for money
And it is 26 tracks of King of Pop as patty Ubisoft dancing. The pieces are sorted according to their levels of output even if Streetwalker, released in 1987, is actually the 2001 version. Of course it is just a small detail. Each title is associated with one or even two levels of difficulty (easy, medium, hard, nightmare) as we try to follow the star or the dance troupe that accompanies it. Whatever his choice, this little world stays on the screen. As well we keep our eyes on the right target, which is not always easy especially as aids that appear on the screen revealing the next move without telling us the number of times it will repeat. Ubisoft may be put on the empirical method to force the players to redo the pieces to get the best score.
But anyway, that one is the perfect reflection of what we see on the screen, slightly offset, or sitting in his chair chasing flies with the Wii Mote, the results remain the same, there is always a dance game for Wii. Whether you are single or four players, the gameplay is approximate : sometimes dots are our link with our performance, sometimes our actions are not validated for some reason that remains sadly unanswered. The game can still boast of success in us back into the atmosphere for each song with clothing, environments, and not to perform. One finds the film Thriller, Haunted House Ghost: ghosts steal the thunder from time to time illuminates the room and it even has the right to a transformation into a skeleton.
According to the points raised, the player gets stars (5 maximum). These stars can unlock videos menu Dance School. The latter entail overheating (yes, dancing and then heated) as well as videos. While some are happy to get some movies like Ghost (cut into 3 videos), Thriller, etc.., the replayability is unfortunately not at the rendezvous . While we appreciate to see the choreography, to hear certain songs, can sing to the lyrics can be displayed on the screen, but the gameplay is so vague that the game loses its interest. Earn stars arises almost by chance that the performance of players.
Conclusion
Just Dance addicts fondness for the King of Pop will doubtless appreciate, despite the content still a little thin. Michael Jackson The Experience is thus a very mixed title on Wii. Move his hand is not enough to provide sensations satisfactory enough to feel like dancing star. The atmosphere present in the titles (environments, held …), not enough: the gameplay is just too rough. The adventure is far more interesting KINECTS where the whole body must be involved, provided they have a learning step by step to get to master dance moves as sublime qu’endiables.
