Drop it like it’s hot with hip-hop’s hottest new dance videogame. The Hip-Hop Dance Experience is available now for Xbox 360 and Wii, and Ubisoft aren’t afraid to make a song and dance about it.
GameFocus - I don’t think that I am necessarily the target audience for the Xbox Kinect dance title, “The Hip Hop Dance Experience”. I’m likely more hipster than hip hop, and my personal playlist consists of more Ramones and Rancid than Rihanna or RUN DMC. That being said, I figured that if I was going to venture into the world of dance games, I best cut a rug to one styled on a musical genre synonymous with smooth moves and backbeats that get your feet moving. Love it or hate it, hip hop seems to provide the soundtrack whenever people want to bust-a-move or get jiggy with it.
Put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care! Check out our review of The Hip Hop Dance Experience for the Xbox 360.
You won't find much variety of variation in the Hip Hop Dance Experience, pick a song, difficult, and go to town. The game makes the peculiar choice of unlocking everything from the get-go: this makes things perfect for jumping into a party mode, but there's simply no sense of progression
All these dance games, I never played them, maybe they are good. But I can tell you now, they will sink hard just like Guitar Hero did if they keep releasing them so often. There is Just Dance, which ALREADY has 4 games in 3 years. There's like 3 or 4 of these Experience games already, and multiple games for Kinect that have the exact same dance formula in them like Star Wars Kinect. They will sink so hard, I already see it coming.
