Dance Along with Nickelodeon Friends Controller-free

Nickelodeon Dance is a whole new kind of Nickelodeon play experience allowing kids can dance along with Dora, Diego and the Fresh Beat Band for the first time. 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. Parents focused on increasing their child's physical activity will appreciate the workout feature which promotes heart healthy activity as kids ratchet up the dance action and are graded for their accuracy as they dance with the Nickelodeon gang. And since nobody wants to dance alone, Nickelodeon Dance supports two players on every song, with song lyrics posted at the bottom of the screen along with easy-to-follow visual oriented dance move prompts that players duplicate with their bodies using the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360.

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

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Nickelodeon Dance (Video Game)

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.

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

This review is from: Nickelodeon Dance (Video Game)

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.

Took a little while for my kids to get in to this (an 8yr and a 2yo) but they're having fun with it now. Only 2 items that make me give this a low mark.
First, the Kinect doesn't seem to track very well with this one...works great on our other games but this one is so-so at best.
Secondly it doesn't let you skip the 5+ minutes of intro at the beginning every time...or at least we haven't stumbled across it yet...if I do I'll come back and add/update this review.
These aside, it's "OK" but I have to wonder if perhaps one of the other dance packages may have been more to their liking? Especially the oldest (8yo is a girl and she keeps comparing it to a wii dance game that is better...it is too).
I'd probably give this a 2.5 star rating but ya can't ;-)
Watch for it on sale...that's that I did too.
