How can you take an iconic figure like Michael jackson and produce such an aweful game!
Interface on the menu: the interface is small and difficult to select. By the time you get to the song you want it is quick to move to a different selection and then when you finally manage to select the correct song, there isn't sufficient time to preview the song before you go to the next menu.
Graphics were absolutely awful. the back up dancers on stage (that you follow) blend into the background and the visual noise that runs rampant in the game make for an absolutely chaotic experience. The back up dancers "explode" into stars and disappear then re-appear...some times to reappear to immediately bust a move. After you get re-aclimated your a step off of the dance...
I'd rather have had an avatar of Michael that danced as opposed to the glowing, stary, fuzzy little image of the player on center stage. The words and the "visual bling" that scroll accross your avatar just causes confusion and just adds insult to the injury of flushing $50 bucks down the toilet on this game.
I would have rathered they just added all of Michael jacksons songs to Dance central then I would have happily paid the $50 bucks to download the songs.
not even worth reading the cover of this game at the store let alone spending money and then wasting my life trying to play it.

I originally played the Wii version and just knew that the Kinect version would be 10times better. I WAS SO WRONG!!!!!
First, there is a delay between you and image you see on the screen.
Second, its choppy! You will dance for a few seconds and then for the next few seconds your just standing there waiting on you next dance move.
Third, the Wii version offers dancing for all the songs. The Kinect version does not. You will have to sing for the slower songs.
I bumped it up to two points because some of the moves are complex and challenging. That is the only positive.
Don't waste your money on the game. You're better off playing it on Wii.

I find the interface as good as any of the Kinect games in terms of responsiveness etc... the dances range from relatively easy to insane. Love the selection of music and dance moves - this game is a must for MJ fans!!! awesome exercise - a fun way to get cardio

MJ Experience on Kinect is fantastic. It has difficulty for all, ranging from really easy, to more difficult. Great game, graphics could have been better and a bit more MJ in the mix, but I absolutely love this game. It is incredible, my entire family loves it.
It is the first Kinect game to actual show the user in the game and it does a great job of it. When XBOX decides to release the Kinect patch and increase the pixels at the end of the month, I really want to see how it is going to look!!!
