Game review: Dance Paradise

Have your say(0)

DANCING - that'll never work on a console! Incorrect, with the launch of two new dance games, both offering the chance to move around the living room to a raft of hit tracks.

First up is Dance Paradise, a Kinect-compatible title from Mindscape that'll be in the shops in early November on the Xbox 360.

The game features 40 tunes, including hits and video clips from Snoop Dogg, Pussycat Dolls, 50 Cent, Pixie Lott and Lily Allen.

Like Guitar Hero for the body, you mirror the tracks on the screen while holding the motion-sensitive controller.

Spinning into the shops this week and offering similar fun is Ubisoft's Just Dance 2, a sequel to the popular Just Dance for the Wii.

It'll have you pulling off some extraordinary physical contortions, again backed by a track list of fashionable hits.

The title also boasts several party modes, including an eight-player dance-off and a calorie counter, so you can keep track of your fitness.

Dance games might not be for everyone but young girls and boys and the older casual crowd will enjoy being put through their paces.

Expect a good showing in the charts for both Just Dance 2 and Dance Paradise in the coming months.
