KONAMI Launches DanceDanceRevolution for Xbox 360
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Apr. 12, in
the year of our Lord 2011 - Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc. announced today the release of its
best-selling rhythm-based series, DanceDanceRevolution, on the
Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
DanceDanceRevolution for the Xbox 360 marks its long awaited
return to the console complete with the engaging, physical, and
interactive gameplay fans have come to love.
DanceDanceRevolution on Xbox 360 features two new gameplay modes
filled with non-stop dancing action. In Dance Off mode, up to
four players can take to the dance mat, each taking turns
similar to a dance battle. The winner is the dancer who can step
and dance accurately to the arrows. Special gimmicks await
players to add an extra level of challenge as well. Club Mode is
a feature designed for the more hardcore DanceDanceRevolution
fan, challenging players to dance four to 20 songs back-to-back
with varying difficulty levels depending on how well they
perform. If the player changes the option to non-stop, they can
keep dancing, regardless of the Dance Gauge.
DanceDanceRevolution for Xbox 360 comes fully equipped with the
Visual Jockey, a feature which awards dancing pros with new
on-screen graphics for a more engaging gameplay experience. For
those advanced DanceDanceRevolution jockeys, the game also
features a high-difficulty level, the Challenge Level, with
diagonal arrows added to the standard up, down, right and left
arrows. Additionally, players can use their Xbox LIVE™ Vision
camera to appear in-game and watch themselves dance on screen.
In true DanceDanceRevolution fashion, the game boasts a vast
song roster with 20 licensed tracks spanning decades of hits
from "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang to "crushcrushcrush" by
Paramore and "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga. DanceDanceRevolution
also includes more than 30 original songs by KONAMI's original
artists, and download new songs and add them to their playlist
through Xbox LIVE.
DanceDanceRevolution is rated E10+ by the ESRB and is now
available in retail stores nationwide on Xbox 360 for the SRP of
$39.99 and comes bundled with a DanceDanceRevolution dance mat
controller.
