It is a very particular dance game. Movement detection prizes accuracy much more than, say, Zumba Fitness or Just Dance (but not as much as Dance Central). Video lessons not feature MJ directly (looks like he passed away during production), but feature dancers that worked with him. But there is no shortage of MJ throughout the game. If you want something more challenging, but not beyond what the Kinect can reasonably judge (looking at you, Dance Central), this is a fun game, that can be picked up cheap if you already got an XBox 360/Kinect.

We had this game when we had the Wii set up, it was fantastic! So when we finally got the fancy Xbox 360 with Kinect this was one of our first purchases. From the beginning everything is very difficult to do. Yes there is a learning curve using the Kinect, but all other games are easily done, with this one just getting to game play was difficult. The game itself?! Where's Michael? Who am I supposed to follow? The dancers keep disappearing! We have other dance games for this Xbox and they are great -- what happened here?

It is a fun game to play. I am a Michael Jackson fan, so the music is great. My wife wanted it to use to lose weight with. She enjoys the music also. I like watching others try to mimic the moves. My grandkids love it. They do a pretty good job of keeping up with the game. I'm not a dancer, but it is fun to try. Anyone who is a Michael Jackson fan will like this game.
Was really excited about the release of this game, as was my family. We found it at a fantastic price here on the bay. That's what we come here for, right? Anyhow, this game is fantastic and a must have for any self respecting MJ fan. Every hit is on there. And as the title says it is quite the experience. One literally has access to MJ's dancers and choreographers. I was really taken aback by the level of accuracy the game picked up. I haven't had many hours within the game and menus but I am so far really impressed with the game's fun factor and replayability.
I got this for my son & now I’m hooked too! It’s NOT easy - but it is a lot of fun and a great way to exercise without feeling like you’re going through the “hum-drum” routine of typical exercise. Tons of laughs! Be willing to laugh at yourself, because it’s MUCH harder than it looks!

We LOVE this game. I can’t believe how amazing the 3D image of the person dancing is from the Kinnect. Hands down best dance game yet!

This game is crazy.it puts you in the game.the features are awesome but what do you expect its Michael Jackson lol. You gotta love it, music is great moves of course are hard but hey if you keep working at it you become a pro.
Not beginner friendly. I say this because there is no way to select the difficulty level on each song. Almost all the songs for dancing start out on 2 stars difficulty. Another set back on this is its navigation system. You better off using the remote to go through the song selection so you have better control than your hand. Another issue is the "main menu" button that was up on the top left hand corner but could not activate it. I suppose you have to eject the disk or shut down the Xbox every time you are done in order to do switch to something else on your Xbox.
In my home, we have GAME NIGHTS. This game and MJ himself brings people together. The game is awesome no questions asked. Everyone wants to be the KING, and there is no better way then this game right here. It combines singing and dancing, and walks you thru them step by step and word for word. I'm more than thrilled about this purchase and I'm sure you will be too!
