Story & Themes
Dance Central's gameplay allows players to simulate a variety of dance routines, and as a result does not feature any centralized storyline. Players mimic the movements of onscreen avatars, and their dance moves are scanned and tracked via the Kinect. The game features several different modes including Workout and Challenge mode which offers a greater diversity in difficulty.Players should note that the multiplayer option, which is restricted to only the Dance Battle mode, is limited when compared to the Just Dance series.
Difficulty
Dance Central does have a tutorial and its Break it Down Mode is meant to offer plays some extra practice. However, the game does require players to have some sense of timing and a bit of physical coordination.
Heads Up!
Violence Some of the lyrics contain mild references to violence.
Sex & Nudity Some of the lyrics contain suggestive references and the avatars will sometimes wear tight or revealing clothing.
