Dance Central 2 adds co-op dancing, a freer freestyle and a setlist that really takes off. Tracking stays impressive, step coaching is genuinely effective, and it is probably the best Dance Central for group fun.

The sequel adds simultaneous two-dancer mode and a wider playlist, turning dance into a frenzied duo or a friendly battle. The finer motion detection and the contagious energy multiply the festive pleasure. Colourful, dynamic and fiercely convivial, a dance game that pushes the party further and guarantees lively evenings, ideal for moving together without the slightest restraint.
A Harmonix sequel for Kinect, Dance Central 2 adds simultaneous two player dancing, a story mode and voice recognition, refining the full body choreography formula captured by the camera. The increased precision, the song import from the first entry and the multiplayer make it a more complete, convivial dance game. The Kinect dependency and the required space limit access today. An excellent party game for dance fans, families and active two player evenings on Xbox 360.
