SingStar: Dance
SingStar: Dance
SingStar: Dance, développé par SCE London Studio et édité par SCE Worldwide Studios Europe, est sorti sur PlayStation 3 le 5 novembre 2010. Ce spin-off de la série de karaoké SingStar introduit une dimension dansante utilisant le PlayStation Move, tout en conservant une orientation musicale. La liste des titres comprend notamment Lady Gaga avec Poker Face, Outkast avec Hey Ya! ou encore Gloria Gaynor avec I Will Survive. D'après les avis recueillis, Games Master UK a qualifié le jeu de « pretty amazing for just a mere twenty notes », tandis que Multiplayer.it a estimé que l'ajout de la danse pouvait faire de SingStar une expérience artistique complète avec jusqu'à quatre joueurs chantant et dansant ensemble. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont relevé la présence de deux micros et de clips musicaux originaux pour un prix de 40 dollars, ou encore leur intérêt pour la partie dansante jouée sans chant. L'agrégation des notes critique lui attribue un score de 65,00.

« Pretty amazing for just a mere twenty notes. [Jan 2011, p.97] »
« With the addition of the Dance, SingStar could become the complete artistic experience, with until 4 players simultaneous singing and dancing together. Move implementation is very impressive, but just for one hand: the other movements are still interpreted by the software, sometimes very well but not ever with the same precision. It's not a dance simulator, but it's sure a fun generator! »
« SingStar Dance is definitely a party game and if you have a party coming up, this title would definitely be a winner and is something fresh as opposed to SingStar which this game can still do. »
« Accessibility is SingStar Dance's biggest drawback, in fact it's arguable its only one, as it's an otherwise fun and engaging package and at the very least it offers additional songs for SingStar fans. »
« SingStar Dance is very party-game orientated with the full track listing accessible from the get-go. »
« So it's up there with Just Dance 2 and Dance Central as a fun, accessible, well-produced dancing game. But none of them could be described as the ultimate dancing game. »
« Great fun, but dancing feels tacked onto the established SingStar experience rather than a complete standalone dance package. »
« There's little to criticize. [Christmas 2010] »

« Most of what I wanted to say has been said but I would like to add... for $40 you get the game plus 2 mics. You get full origina music videos or you can watch youself dance. You can keep part or all of the video of you dancing and edit it. Also, for four players you can have 2 ppl sing and 2 dance. The game is fun, challanging and the ability to save and replay the fun later. This game is way underrated. Fun for kids and adxults. Not to menton the ability to download more songs later. »
« I was primarily interested in this game because of the dancing and have played for an hour so far, none of that singing. If you like Singstar games in the past you'll like this, so let's talk about the dancing. That being said this is an AWESOME dancing game. I had read reviews and many of them said the dancing experience feels tacked on because you imitate the dancer on screen, there are no flash cards like other games (Kinect). That's true. However this is a plus to me. As one review said, real dancers will really like this game. Many of the routines are complex and it takes practice and multiple attempts to master. You won't breeze through with an A on the first try, but in a couple you'll get the hang and soon you'll master it. Plus, Singstar Dance's Poker Face routine slaughter's Kinect's clap-and-fist-pump routine. For people that aren't great dancers you'll still have fun and there are easier routines, but others you may not want to venture off of "easy" anytime soon (PCD's Don't Cha, for example). This is a great game and I'm really happy I picked it up. The reviews were too harsh but I can see their complaints, flash cards or more breakdowns would have helped. Even so, some said dancing was tacked on, a small visual in the **** you hit O you take up the whole screen instead of the music video, so while watching the dancer you see a large YOU in your peripheral and it helps you stay in sync. »
