I truly suck at this game. During the Break it Down mode I occasionally have to go into slow down mode where it gets me infinitely repeating a move. After a while I'll start getting it kinda right as indicated by a "Nice" upon which the move speeds up ever so slightly.

Problem here is it keeps doing this without letting me do the next move. Is that because it'll only move on if I score a perfect on that move? I've had to manually pause and get out of the Break it Down mode three times because it was stuck in this loop. Is there any way of going to the next move, regardless of how sucky you've performed it? I guess I like the game but I'm really rhythmically challenged and this kind of negative feedback isn't helping me enjoy it.

You can "Speed it up" after you "slow it down." If you still don't get the move when you have to do it 3 times, it'll just skip it.

Yeah, what Teknopathetic said. The "Speed it up" is on the top left corner of the TV, same place as "Slow it down".

Aaaah...for some reason I kept thinking it automatically sped it up ever so slightly whenever it showed that text, because it slowed down automatically. Confused the hell out of me.

Nice!

On an unrelated note, I'd just like to let everyone know that I'm at #18 on the leaderboards for "I Got You Dancing."

Sure, it's a download title and there are far fewer people dancing that routine than the songs on the disc, but I still was surprised to be in the top 20. :lol

2 songs instead of 3 this month :(

Edit: Janet Jackson's Control will also be released so I guess that is 3 songs released this month...

Also, will they ever "Bundle Pack" songs together, like I remember you could buy 3 rock band tracks being bundled in a pack for cheaper than the 3 individual tracks.

Okay, people, let's get some youtube videos of the new songs up so we can see what the choreography is like. I know some of you have purchased!

Hmm, Control looks pretty good. Ironically, I already have it, but have only played it once. I'm not sold on the other two yet. I'd like to get some impressions first.

I'm very new to the game in general, but I like Blur so I grabbed "Girls and Boys."

The routine is pretty hilarious-- there's a move that seems to be an air jerk-off, some fist pounding and some other funny and fun arm moves. There are also a couple tricky step moves. I'd say it's worth it.

Thanks, good to hear. I'm a Blur fan too, but wanted to hear about the routine first.

Does this game have an unlock all songs code or something that disables saving/achievements? Having people over for NY Eve party and not sure if we can get them all unlocked before then...

This game will probably be responsible for another couple of Kinect purchases over the coming weeks... played it today at my sister's house and it looks like one of my sisters (never played video games before) wants it, and my brother's kids will probably force him to buy it too. :lol

Was some top fun though, especially once the drink was flowing. :D

Got Kinect for the family - ended up taking it to a family get-together at my neighbor's before cracking it open. Everyone loved it - especially Dance Central. And Aruarian was spot on saying that girls are naturally better at Dance Central. The neighbor's wife was especially good and picked it up amazingly fast.

Got the game+kinect for xmas. It's pretty damn fun. At first I was like, yay lets go through a bunch on easy. Then I realized that's a little tough. It seems like the best way is to pick a song and stick with it for a bit. Teach me how to Jerk will be mastered by new years. :lol

Picked up the 3 latest songs today, though have only had the chance to play Control.

Control wasn't what I was expecting however because I somehow got it mixed up with Lose Control by Missy Elliot (which while I'm here I'll suggest would be a better Dance Central track anyway).

OldJadedGamer was nice enough to gift a code for "Control" earlier in the thread. I got it, but it turns out that I don't need it.

So, I'm gifting it back out to GAF. First person to quote this post gets it :D

After being on a hiatus from this game just cause I haven't had time to play, finally beat it. I'm going to go back and finish the few songs I missed doing on hard, but I forgot how much fun this game is. Final character is awesome :-D

Alright. I've almost 5 stared Teach me how to Jerk on Hard. :lol

Some things I would like to see in DC2 though. Most have to do with the break it down mode.

Allow me to practice just one move. There's a couple that I get hung up on and I would like to try just them. I think a replay option should be available for a dance move. There were a couple of times where I just couldn't get it down. It would've been nice to be able to see exactly how I was doing the move. There's a reason dance studios have huge mirrors on the wall.

Other than that I'm having a blast with the game. I played for probably 2 hours straight. I was sweating like a mad man.

Oh man, if the Kinect can simultaneously display the break down of the move AND yourself on screen so you can see what you're doing, I'd welcome it.

I just got Kinect for Christmas and played the demo of Dance Central (on Kinect Adventures); loved it. I'm going to have to grab it on Amazon soon.

I'd totally buy a Kinect and DC if they'd add Crash Like a Wrecking Ball.
