Gamers big and small will get up off the couch and twist, shimmy and shake to 30 songs sung by Nickelodeon friends including theme songs and Nickelodeon hits like "We Did It," "Al Rescate," and "Here We Go." In addition, popular favorites like "Dancing In the Street," "We got the Beat" and "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" ensure fun for the entire family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for some family time. November 23, 2011

By Melissa D. Monroy

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought this game for my 3 year old as he tends to feel a little left out when my oldest plays on the kinect, and he loves it! I love that it is not your typical game, he has to be up and dancing along and there are different dance levels so my 9 year old even had abit of fun with the game(myself too). Im not a big game buff so I can't go on about graphics and such, but to us it is well worth the money as we don't have issues with the sensor not catching movements or anything else that may be a concern, it seems to be just right in that department. I don't really have any complaints about the game, it is a very adorable game and easy enough for my 3 year old to function and play.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's fun - if you are patient. December 25, 2011

By <

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   

For no way to skip the annoying 5-minute intro about "moving your furniture" and tutorial: -2 stars -- the game forces you to watch the stupid video over and over. What fun is that?

For the vicious cycle of "No Gamer Profile Found. Do you wish to sign in?", then signing in, and getting "No Gamer Profile Found" again: -2 stars. Because of this, we had to choose to disable saving of the progress, which in turn, forces you to watch the 5 minute stupid intro over again!

For not adjusting the tilt (it's for small kids, you know): -1 star. For comparison, try Fruit Ninja - it handles different player heights much better. The feet are cut off as a result.

This game is a huge disappointment, because instead of dancing, we've spent more time watching the annoying tutorial and waving hands to no avail. The dance part itself is well done, though -- if you can get to that point.

5.0 out of 5 stars DANCE CENTRAL FOR PRE-SCHOOLERS December 3, 2011

By J. Nishimitsu

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is ADORABLE. My mom bought it for my 3 year old daughter who has been trying very hard to keep up with Just Dance, and Dance Central. This game is PERFECT. The beginner dances are just-right and she follows along pretty well. Great for Pre-Schoolers, they will just need help with changing the songs and navigating the menu. I was impressed at how easy it is to follow along with Dora and all their other favorite characters. The songs are cute (think Dora and Diego and Backyardigans theme songs). My daughter's favorite songs to dance to are the ones by the Fresh Beat Band. It's Dance Central, but for little ones.
