I am a huge fan of MJ, but the game is hard and I was left with lots of questions about what could have been.

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.

OMG this game is more stressfull than fun... It is hard very hard but once u get the swing of things i guess its okay.... I still havent figured out how to activate the sing a long part.... Do i need to get a micro phone....? Anyway this game is more like a work out but if your doing it with friends i guess it would be fun.

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!!!

I have this for the Wii and love it. I thought I would really enjoy it on the X-Box because I wouldn't have to use a controller. Unfortunately, the game is totally different on X-Box and is not near as fun or challenging as the Wii version. Big waste of money for me.

We have Dance Central - enjoy it alot. This one is going to take a lot of time to master. The dance instruction is pretty advanced. I need a hardwood floor and special shoes to moonwalk. I don't feel very motivated to learn to become a professional dancer just to play the game. It looked a lot more fun on the Wii.

Not Good

The only thing that prevented a one star rating is the music. Michael Jackson's music is so classic I couldn't bring myself to do it, but the gameplay is so very bad. Do not buy this game or any other in the "experience" game line. If you want to dance go get the dance central games.

We bought this for our 4 year old son and we all love it. The only issue I have is I wish the pictures looked more real, otherwise it's great. A great work out for the family if you love to dance.

I have Dance Central, (Which is also good) and Dance Paradise (Which is not good at all) But when I tried Michael J. I was instantly hooked.
It is a party favorite for kids and adults alike.
Love it and has proven to be a good work out !

I was so excited to play this game because my frineds have it for the Wii. I HATED it!! I like it so much better for the Wii-wish I would have bought for the Wii instead. There's one part where you are supposed to sing the song and not dance--HELLO I don't have a mic!! You should be able turn that off. I don't know maybe there is and I just haven't figured it out yet--very frustrated!

Too Simple

The moves are so basic. If you want to play alone, you have to sing and dance! The only way you can just dance is battling with someone else. Stupid!

I've played this game on the WII and I can just imagine how it will be on the Kinect!! It is soooo fun, and it can also be some type of fitness for you because it gives you a WONDERFUL WORKOUT! Me and mother were both dancing on one of the songs, and we broke out in a sweat and everything! The game is awesome, and it is a wonderful way to Keep MJ in our lives....=)
I RECOMMEND TO ANY AND EVERYONE!!
