MoveModo - PlayStation Move has seen six dancing games in its first year on sale, but none have hit the heights in the same way as Harmonix's Dance Central on Kinect, with Sony's SingStar Dance and Konami's DanceDanceRevolution the closest we've come to boogie bliss. The latest publisher to step up and try its luck is PQube with Dance! It's Your Stage, and it's clear it's going in a different direction than the competition.
SlimGamer writes: "In a world where instrument based games dominate the music game genre, it is nice to see a return to dance mat based rhythm games. There are a few titles still around this generation, but they are often overlooked and unappreciated. Back before there was ever a Guitar Hero or Rock Band on the home consoles, there were dancing based rhythm games in the arcades and later on the home consoles. Dance! It's your Stage puts its best foot forward to try and re-enter the video game market for this long lost style."
Evolved Gaming's writer Cory writes, "Dance! It’s Your Stage is, obviously, a dancing arcade title. In the game, you play as a character who dances at different locations and must earn medals to become the best dancer around. The game is 800 MS points, and is a very difficult game to recommend to people who don’t have a DDR dance mat, which the game is compatible with."
OXM UK writes: "We're entering the post dance mat stage of human evolution. Soon - but not yet - our passion, soul and commitment to a career in dance will be judged by a set-top mechanical Simon Cowell head that will - should you demonstrate the required total dedication - teleport you to a dancing boot camp on the moon.
Taking advantage of the last Luddite weeks before Kinect, Dance! It's Your Stage uses an old-fashioned dance mat (not provided), and features 20 original songs."
