Michael Jackson The Experience NDS & Wii Review Part 1

Michael Jackson was a famous musical icon who sadly passed away on june 25 2009, but around the time of his death, a rumour went around saying that Michael Jackson was working with a video game company to make the ultimate dancing experience, and it certainly is impressive....For The Most Part, This Is it, The Michael Jackson, The Experience Review by me, Thomas Griffiths

 First Review: Nds Version
Now first i will talk about the graphics, which are sort of nice for a ds game, the problem i noticed was that throughout the whole game he just keeps doing the same dance moves, although on certain songs (only the key songs apparently) he does moves that ACTUALLY featured in a performance/music video...the cartoon Michael is sort of nice but there is really no difference in the model of the character other than the odd clothes change now and then.
Now, on to the gameplay, there is pretty much nothing i can say other than....Elite Beat Agents Rip-off, but it is still enjoyable and the tap icons appear in time with the music, which is nice...but, the dancing is basically him doing the same moves repeatedly, changing every now and then (Moonwalk Rarely Seen)

Footage From Billie Jean

Sometimes there are neat segments where you have to rotate the stylus on the touch screen really fast till the lights at the bottom of the touch screen light up, while this is going on Michael is spinning and if you light up all of the lights Michael does that tippy-toe thing he does (see above image.) Overall the gameplay and graphics are average, the graphics need a bit more work on them, and i would of liked to see some originality in the gameplay.
Also, you get a certain number of stars at the end of the level depending on how you did, you can also get a crown as well if you did exceedingly well...the reason you need stars? To unlock more songs and unlock some cartoon versions of MJ Memmorabilia which is pointless, Also there is no multiplayer mode...in fact there is only one mode, Tour, which is basically just doing the song
Now onto the main part of the NDS Review, the Music...Michael Jackson The Experience has a small list of twelve songs, including Beat it, Billie Jean, Bad, Smooth Criminal and Streetwalker (You remember that one right?...you don't, its on the 2001 re-release of the BAD album as unreleased song...) but of course i am angry because, it misses out one of the best Dance Routines of all time...THRILLER, They left out Thriller!!! perhaps there were so many different dance moves that Ubisoft couldn't get away with the same dance moves over and over again, without someone noticing...
So Overall, The Game copies Elite Beat Agents unique gameplay (Like all other Dance Games for DS) The Music was great if a small setlist, of only 12 songs, sadly they left out some key songs that make the Wii version more unique, and finally, The Graphics are too repetetive, So the Overall Rating is:

I will Release Part 2 of the MJ Experience Review tomorrow, Stay tuned for the Wii Review, Which will feature in part 2...See You Soon
