Kinect had two Dance games at launch. Dance Central, and Dance Masters. You can't help buy compare the two. I happen to like both. They are different though.
Dance Central is more follow the moves the dancer is doing, and Dance Masters is a lot more like Dane Dance Revolution. Where you hit the marks at certain times.
Dance Masters has better multiplayer, with 2-player co-op on a single console and versus over Xbox live. But Dance Central has a better Single Player and a more mainstream music selection. While Dance Masters is more DDR (J-pop) type songs.
There are a few different types of "arrows" you have to hit at the certain times. (Note I only call them arrows to compare them to Dance Dance Revolution).
-There is a basic hit the mark type of circle, where there is a circle with a larger circle around it that shrinks. You have to move your hand in that space at the time both circles match up (usually goes with the beat)...Read more

It was with great curiosity and some hesitancy that I picked up this game. All the reviews I had previously read were accurate. So as a recap:
*Hyper and not-quite dancing*
-Music is very J-Pop/Asian Dance Club/most people won't know it/you should be drinking Red Bull and Lattes.
-Dance moves are more akin to someone doing interpretive dance, or doing a routine for a show. You feel like you're a performer, if not *the* performer of the song. That's in contrast to Dance Central, where you feel more like you're dancing, learning moves that come more club-ish. I guess I see Dance Masters for someone wishing to be on stage. Dance Central, you're more on the dance floor.
-Much more ego-centric than Dance Central: You see your whole body/face (video, not just a silhouette), you're on stage equal with the avatar, your moves are very performer-oriented, you feel like you're a pop star singing the song more than someone dancing to a song...Read more

Such a nice game! I have been excited for a long time waiting for the kinect. I ordered both dance central and dance master since I like dancing game so much! It turns out that these two games didn't dispoint me at all.
The dance central is definitly something as a hipop dance style and combing different styles hit songs. The break down system is help us to learn the dance, but I do thing it should slow down a little more since I am a slow learner for dancing steps.
The dance master is actually more close to the way I like to dance back to dance carpet time. I really like the musics in the dance master and the dance steps are actually abit easier than Dance Central. But without breakdown, it requires more practice. But I still like to play the game until I am completely tired. I also like the idea of "gesture", "ripple" and "parellel world". Which give you more motive to continue good hits.
So both of the first round dancing games of kinect is really heating...Read more
