Konami have announced DanceMasters for Kinect for Xbox 360. Utilizing Microsoft’s Kinect for Xbox 360 3D motion capture technology, DanceMasters is the next generation in full body dancing where players will not need a controller to move their body to the beat and position their bodies to a variety of on screen markers, giving gamers the ultimate dance club vibe with the most realistic and exhilarating dancing experience to date.
Richard Worrall writes: "Think of dance games, and what comes to mind? There’s a fair chance that Konami figures quite prominently. From arcades to homes, their heritage in rhythm action (and dancing titles in particular) is long-standing. It’s no surprise then, now that dance mats have arguably had their day, to see Konami quickly adopting Kinect as the natural platform for what many consider as their genre.
It would be unfair to point solely to Dance Evolution for this problem, of course; Dance Central has similar issues. The choice between the two games comes down to your confidence as a dancer or, failing that, your determination to learn. Dance Central correctly guesses that most early adopters of Kinect probably aren’t accomplished dancers. If you’re not the typical Xbox couch potato, Konami’s offering presents a rich and worthwhile challenge. Just be warned: Konami expect you to keep up with their pace."

"Had it not been for Harmonix's take on the dance genre, which adds more flair, a more stylish interface, and an infinitely better track list, Dance Evolution would have been a fine addition to your rhythm game collection."
what's with these dance "games" on kinect it seems this is the only "game" kinect caters to. wtf is that?
Still waiting on that ballerina game for Kinect...
Dancing and Sports. OK - anything that resembles traditional video gaming?
I think this may be a title for 8 year old girls.
Enjoy, young ladies.
Well at least we are staring to see support of big developers i think that before Kinect is out we will see some things that will be impress.
