The atmosphere of healthy competition and fun reigns here, for which the players spend long hours in the game.
Short description
Game Dance Central 3 is the third in a series. It has incorporated the best solutions of developers for previous years. The player simply selects a character for himself from the list of available ones and begins to advance in the dance world. Gamers will perform on stage, demonstrating the skill of moving the body to a variety of club music. The victory will be given to those who perform the best dance and at the same time show the public a decent show.
Graphics stand out in bright colors, colorful design and emphasizes the atmosphere of general joy in honor of a holiday. For a long time, the authors did not dare to release a sequel, but it still saw the world in the form of Dance Central 3. The Xbox 360 was chosen as the only platform due to the fact that the publisher was the well-known Microsoft Corporation. At the moment, the number of users has already exceeded the mark of five million, and every day new comers buy copies and learn dancing skills.
Management Features
At first glance, a dance game is of little interest to anyone by simply pressing the keys on the controller, but Dance Central 3 took a different approach. You can control the heroes here only with the help of a special device called Kinect. This technology allows you to fully initialize a person, as if he is a part of the virtual world. If such a controller is in the hands of people, then the characters on the screen will completely repeat the movements that they make in reality. That is why a musical game is difficult to master.
Repeating the movements that the dance masters came up with sometimes does not work out even after ten attempts. That is why the developers have introduced several difficulty modes and a special educational introduction for those who first encountered a dance game.
Characters
Bright personalities are an indispensable aspect of every part of the series. In Dance Central 3, the creators did not change this tradition. In total, 22 heroes are realized, which are part of 11 teams (two people each). Each master is considered an original person and stands out for his character, style, charisma. Some groups and characters are known from the previous parts of the game line, but newcomers also appeared. According to the style of the upcoming performance, the user selects the appearance for his virtual dancer. For example, if you are going to dance hip-hop on stage, it is best not to wear tight jeans and tight sweaters. This style is more suitable for shows where there are no complicated tricks.
In hip-hop, it is important to convey freedom and challenge with your appearance, so wide jeans, long sweatshirts with a hood, caps will fit here perfectly. Consider also that it is better for the player himself to wear comfortable clothes, because you will have to make complex movements, and getting confused in the outfit will be a shame.
Dancing
Virtual dancers will perform on stage in front of a large audience, which responds appropriately to all their tricks and failures. Difficulty is determined by the mode and the dance itself. It is better for a beginner to start the path with training, where they will tell the basics, and then move on to what is closer to him in spirit. An interesting detail are team battles in cooperative mode. Here real people fight among themselves in pairs. Up to four people can participate in one approach at a time. The victory goes to the group that scored more points for successful moves and beautiful moves.
Users should be prepared for the fact that to perform some tricks will have to combine. For example, the tango dance rhythm involves the close interaction of a pair of partners. That is why it is better for a guy to play with a girl.
Musical compositions
The game has a huge variety of tracks of different styles, and for this people love Dance Central 3. The list of songs throughout the series has been supplemented by such compositions as 1, 2 Step, OMG, YMCA. Among the performers, many people will find such personalities as Sean Paul, Kelly Clarkson, Usher and LMFAO. All songs are distinguished by a cheerful style of performance, and it seems that the body itself begins to move when it hears one of these tracks. The total number of available songs is 47, but for an additional price the user can download another 21 tracks for himself. They are all part of the DLC, which was released shortly after the official release of the project. Among these compositions, any fan of club music will find several favorites and, in addition to dancing, will begin to hum a familiar motive.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that in Dance Central 3 requirements do not play any role. The program is fully adapted to the console system from Microsoft. This eliminates the possibility of bugs or freezes during the game. Many fans praise this approach, although owners of other platforms are still hoping for the release of the project for personal computers and the PlayStation 3 console or the higher version.
After the release, the music game received many positive reviews from critics, qualified publishers, and ordinary fans. If you pick up the controller and start dancing, it will allow you to escape from the problems and actively relax after a difficult working day. The bright lights of the stage, screaming fans and applause after the performance will be remembered by a person for a long time. The main thing is that the project never bothers. You can invite friends and conquer the heights of the dance floor of the best institutions in the world.
