Ubisoft's Michael Jackson game detailed

PS3 News | Will gamers light up the floor with this title?
While being revealed at this year's E3 event, Ubisoft is starting to give away some details on its Michael Jackson title which will be hitting the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii; as well as the hand held platforms later this year.

Officially titled Michael Jackson: The Experience, the console versions of the game will utilise the motion sensing technology of each respective console to put players in the shoes of Michael Jackson as he pulls out all of his signature dance moves through some of his most famous performances.

Each version is said to have its own look and feel, with the Wii version of the game said to play out similarly to that of Ubisoft's Just Dance title.

The Kinect version of the game will share technology that is similar to that of Ubisoft's Your Shape, projecting a 3D image of the player on screen to replace the game's avatars. The game will also make use of Kinect's microphone capabilities, meaning that you can simultaneously spin and shriek to your heart's desire - all while playing the game hands-free.

The title's PS3 edition will allow players to use their microphones to access a separate singing mode. While the hand held platforms; the DS and the PSP, will utilise tap-on rhythm gameplay.

Get ready to dust off the leather jacket and don the sequined glove people, as Michael Jackson: The Experience will be moonwalking its way onto store shelves this November.

Interesting that each version will be different. It's good to see, i guess, even if it's because of the technical differences between the consoles.

Funnily enough, the games best suited to the Kinect in my opinion are dancing games.

I have DDR mats and still play (the homebrew arcade/reverse engineered ones on PC) with my Mrs and they are great fun.

Being a PS3 owner, I'm a bit jealous of the quality of dance games shown for the Kinect and know the Move will never match the full body tracking of Kinect, even if it uses the controllers and a mat.
