Nickelodeon Dance 2
SCORE: 87
It was very exciting at E3 2012 to see
Nickelodeon Dance 2. This Xbox 360 Kinect and Wii title gets kids up and
dancing around with their favorite Nickelodeon friends. There are twenty
Nickelodeon friends in total that families can dance around with.
Nickelodeon Dance 2 is for kids, but adults can join in.
Nickelodeon Dance 2 allows for two family members to enjoy the all new
dance songs, and routines. I counted twenty-nine songs in Nickelodeon
Dance 2. Some of them are unlockable after the player earns enough stars
in that section. Nickelodeon Dance 2 can provide countless hours of
entertainment.
I noticed two interesting songs in Nickelodeon Dance 2. They are
"Tonight is a Holiday," and "Here Comes Santa Claus." I found it strange
that there are two songs in here devoted to Christmas, but the game goes
out of its way to avoid actually saying Christmas. We know this
technique can be one of the highest forms of insult in certain segments
of the population. Because of this we felt it was important to denote in
our review.
Kids love to get up and move around. I found a few of the songs to be
enjoyable. "La Bamba," "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and "Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star" stuck out for me personally. There are a few songs that
encourage rock and roll, or glorify it in some manner, shape or form.
Family Friendly Gaming was provided the Wii version of Nickelodeon Dance
2. We found it is rather easy to trick the game. I sat on the couch for
one song moving the Wii remote up and down. I wound up scoring three
stars - which is the highest you can score. This technique did not
always work though. I believe the Kinect version would stop anyone from
cheating. Now I must say that anyone who cheats outside of a game review
is only cheating themselves. I did it to test the game, and for that
purpose only.
It is neat to see this franchise continue. I also appreciate that 2K
Play did not forget the Wii this Christmas season like so many other
companies. Nickelodeon Dance 2 can help kids get off the couch and get
some exercise. And who knows, maybe some mothers and fathers too.
