Do we need a thread in the Competition forums? Perhaps the OP can update with folks generous enough to offer up their tags. I'd love to have more friends with Kinect on my list.

The dance offs will be a spectacle to behold!

Yeah, I can update the OP with gamertags if you guys want me to.

The game isn't out in Europe yet so I have a question. Is it possible for Silver members to participate in leaderboards?

Added some gamertags to the OP. Let me know if I missed any...

Nope. You have to be Gold. Which is why I'm thinking about joining up, it would be the first time I'd ever be in the top 3 for any type of leaderboard, hahaha. :-(

DangerStepp's gamertag is actually "Danger Stepp" (the other does not exist)

I wonder if you signed up for a 48hrs trial if it would upload your scores, or if they only get uploaded when you finish the song (with XBL Gold).

Can I gloat a little harder?

Also I think I reached the point where I was fighting against the sensor on this dance. I had all of the moves down (got 9k less than that score with cards turned off), but there were moves where for the life of me I was getting missed. Mainly things like where you put your arm in the air (although I was fine pumping my fist). It might just have been my setup though since it seemed like my hand was at the very top of the sensor area when I had it extended up.

So is Pokerface the most popular song in the game? lol
Click to expand...

The easiest, and probably most approachable for non-dancers. I like how the first song and last song (supposedly hardest) are both GaGa songs.

I haven't tried workout mode, what's that all about? Were you actually playing Poker Face for 51 straight minutes? I mean I like the song, but damn.

It just tracks your time and calories burnt (who knows how accurate it even is) during your play session. You can jump around between songs and keep the count going, it is just an extra statistic added to regular play.

I leave Workout Mode turned on at all times. Why not track how many calories I'm burning?

Plus there's an achievement for burning 1000 calories with the mode enabled

Curses!

I really tried tonight, but I swear the game isn't detecting some movements. The ending move of the 2nd blazer step, right at the beginning of Poker Face, kills me EVERY TIME! The thing is that I always think I do it right, and I can't see where I'm screwing up (I do the first one with no problem).

In any case, at least Phreaker GOT SERVED! :D

So close to gold starring Can't Get You Out of My Head and Teach Me How To Jerk.

Any idea where the photos that DC takes during gameplay are saved? It's not in the dashboard photo library, or the dance central game file in the hard drive, nor is there an option to view photos in the dance central game menu. WHERE THE ARE THEY?!
Click to expand...
So, nobody has figured this out, right? Am I crazy or is the camera appearing during the normal sections of songs (not freestyle)?

I love Drop it like it's hot and Dip it low. I was surprised those two turned out well.
The move where you wipe your arm in Dip it low is awesome:lol

Yeah, it's on certain moves. You can view the photos after the song in the photos menu. AFAIK they are deleted once you exit the after-song menu.

Btw, I've actually failed to get a flawless freestyle by standing around doing nothing

For me it was just the first song I tried on hard/I was using it to try to get a few achievements. Ticks me off I can never get the one for Flawless on every move because the sensor tends to wig out a bit on me even on Easy despite my gold starring on Hard.

Are we going to have a topscore thread or a topscore list in the OP?
Would be cool if we get competitive in dancing here at GAF - especially for us who don't have Gold at the moment, thus can't be part of the leaderboards on Live(?).

Or who don't have room on their FriendsLists for more people.

I over-exerted myself this past weekend (Dance Central, hiking, lifting, Lindy Hopping), and was legitimately bummed that I didn't have the energy to play Dance Central last night. Feeling great today, can't wait to get back into it :D

No :( not really, but they are good enough. I was so hoping for that though. Haha I just tried to channel him while doing the dance

I'd love to get some more Kinect folks on the list. The DC leaderboard is great fun to try to get just that little bit better! :D

This game needs some Timberlake. Anyway, 5-starred Drop It Like It's Hot on the first try after several minutes of Break it Down. :lol Going for that Gold Star mang.

Dance Central leaderboard community...:lol EPIC

so, how's the DLC?
Click to expand...

I have Because of You and I would recommend it to everyone. Very fun moves, and a handful of unique moves. If DLC wasn't so expensive, I'd probably get more. I need points.
