Michael Jackson: The Experience

« I picked up Michael Jackson The Experience as a skeptic, but I had a lot of fun dancing with my sequined glove despite myself. There's not much of a game beyond mastering the choreography, but it's worth it if you ever wanted to dance with a legend. »

« If you're already into Just Dance and consider yourself a die-hard Michael Jackson fan, there's no doubt that you need to have this game in your collection...but being a fan myself, I found the final product a little lacking. »

« Michael Jackson: The Experience is fun but just knowing how much more could have been done ultimately is disappointing. »

« All in all Michael Jackson: The Experience is a decent package and a fitting tribute to the King of Pop, though we would expect a larger amount of content to sweeten the deal. »

« Michael Jackson: The Experience uses the Just Dance playability with the best songs of the famous artist. The game is lack in content and the motion sensing control has many issues to recognize our movements. If you are a Michael Jackson fan this is your game, if you are looking a dancing game, try Just Dance 2. »

« Two decades after my first virtual encounter, he may no longer be a system-seller, but Jacko's still got all the right moves. »

« Michael Jackson The Experience is a sort of spin-off of Just Dance gameplay with "just" Michael Jackson in it. The game works quite well and is fun enough to capture every fan of the King of Pop, even if the track list have some huge absence. »

« There's no other song list on the market like it, and the dance controls in the game are spot on, so it's a must buy for any Jackson fan. But if you really want the Michael Jackson "experience," you might want to pick up This Is It while you're at the mall, because this rushed-together Wii game doesn't exactly deliver on the Jackson-gasm scale. »

« I used to play this game with my family members and had a great time dancing to Michael's songs. They made me enjoy his music even more so and I still listen to his music to this day. »

« Accidentally broke a monitor while dancing to Smooth Criminal and I haven't managed to complete a single song yet, but Michael jackson HYPES ME UP SO I HAVE TO GIVE THIS GAME 10/10 »

« I essentially bought this game to be used as a fun alternative to other boring exercise routines that I had grown tired of. After playing for about 30 minutes, my expectations had already been exceeded, and I was hooked. The player gets to choose from a generous lineup of classic and more recent Michael Jackson songs which are all available from the onset. I'm sure fanatics could point out some shortcomings in the set list, but as a moderate Jackson fan, all of the songs I expected and wanted to see included were present. Furthermore, it included Dirty Diana, which is my favorite Michael Jackson song! The objective of the game is simple: Score the highest amount of points possible by attempting to mimic the movements of Michael or other on screen dancers for the duration of a song which feature backdrops that compliment the music. It sounds easy enough, but if you don't already know, Michael, nor his crew were slouches when it came to dance moves. You'll be very, very hard-pressed to achieve a perfect 5 star rating on even the easiest of songs. The Wii only (sometimes questionably) monitors the movement of the remote which is in your hand, so theoretically you can just watch the prompts and 'cheat' your way through a song by just moving your hand if you really want to. But if you're actually trying to duplicate Michael's dance moves, it's rather challenging, even after you've began to memorize some of the routines. Although, I've only played it as a single player game, it supports 2-4 players simultaneously, which would be great for parties. There is no career mode or many extra features, it's just straightforward dancing. But as I stated earlier, I bought it primarily for a fun exercise experience, and on that front, it's a perfect 10. It makes for a very entertaining, and demanding 30 minute workout. Micheal Jackson is the King of Pop for a reason. He had insanely catchy tunes, and innovative dance routines that no other artist could match. The game isn't incredibly robust outside of the actual dancing, and could have easily included more features to round out the experience, but for $15, you could do much, much worse. »

« Perfect game it just like just dance so nothing to hard about it all your fave MJ songs are on this game only the hard combo blows though hooo hoo »

« Great music, great choreography, great features. Of course it helps if you like the music (which I do), but at the price this game is available for now you can't really go wrong. We bought 3 dancing games with our Wii and this is easily the best. Fun exercise anyone? »

« Michael Jackson The "Experience" is flawed and very terrible, the soundtrack saves the icon. Though, the gameplay is terrible, for fans of the King of the Pop and the guys that loved Just Dance this is probably a most own for you. It's a casual game and casual people will love it because it has some nice touches, in my case i think this isn't an experience . People just play the Move and Kinect versions. »

« I must admit I was slightly hesitant at first when it came to picking up this game, as I was devastated when MJ died. But once I slipped on that glove, and began breaking it down oh so low to 'Billy Jean' I felt Michael was alive again, living through the rhythmic undulations of my pelvis! I especially like the bonus levels, racking up points touching as many prepubescent boys possible while the timer counts down is almost as thrilling as the real thing! Or so I've heard. The glove is a great addition to the package too. I've often fallen back onto my sofa, in a sweaty mess after a good 2 hour session of the game just to let my gloved hand do the walking... wink wink. It's almost like Michael is in the room with me. This is a must buy for die hard fans. »
