If you ever wanted to learn MJ's moves, this is the game to do it in. I wish there were more songs only because I'm a big MJ fan and have heard most of them that's been circling around, but the selection they have here is great too! Everyone can get moving and sing and dance along too. Working with 1P play right now, will upgrade to 2P when I clear out some more stuff in my living room. Kind of hard to dance on the carpeted floor for some of the moves, but if you have a hardwood or tiled floor it works REALLY well on some of the moves that you want to earn points for. Doesn't work well with a small space, make sure you have space in your play area! This is 49.99 at the store and online, but if you have a game stop near by, they have this game for 39.99. I made sure I told BB so they could price match it and I'd get the discount. I love buying my electronic and gaming products from BB only not only because of the rewards program they have, but for their quality of hardware products. I'm glad they have the price matching because I honestly go strictly to BB for these types of products. Definitely great for all ages. For this one, I had to set the sensor on top of my TV in order for it to pick up all of my moves. Our TV is set on a temporary TV stand and it's basically at our heights 5'3-5'5.

I bought this game as a birthday president for my daughter. I was reluctant at first because of the price. I am not a game person but have played this game every weekend for a month with my daughter and her friends. The music is straight from the cd's. The movements represent the Michael Jackson videos perfectly. The graphics are nice and as you play the game you unlock dance move tutorials. Some dances can be easy and other's hard. You can be a backup dancer or Michael on certain songs. Michael wears the same clothes in each song as he did in that video. Very well done!!! I feel like I am at a concert. Hard to break yourself away from playing it is so fun. It is even funnier to let someone play who has no rhythm. This was a great investment, Michael would be so proud.

This was a gag gift for Christmas for my boyfriend. I didn't think the game would even be opened. HOWEVER, he and the kids (17 & 12) absolutely LOVE IT. They are having so much fun playing. They play at least 3 nights a week for at least 2 hours. They play so much they already know the routines by heart! It is also a great workout. We think it is so much better than the Just Dance games. The graphics and the songs are awesome. The game ranges from Easy to Hard so there is something for everyone.

I played Just Dance 2 at my niece's house recently and although I'm not a great dancer it was alot fun and a lot more of a workout than I thought it would be. I'm pretty lazy about doing exercise but it seemed fun so I thought I would buy one for myself. Didn't know alot of songs on the Just Dance videos so when I saw Michael Jackson, I just had to have it being an 80's fan. It is so much fun you don't even realize you're getting a workout until after a couple of fast paced songs. On many songs, you can either play as Michael Jackson or as a backup dancer which their moves are suppose to be harder. And the graphics are really cool. Each song starts out as the actual video which is very reminiscing for me. Paid $40.00 for mine which came with the glove. Well worth the money to me! The only thing I wish it did was keep track of calories you are burning as you are doing it which I believe the Just Dance vides do, but otherwise great game!

I bought this last night and it is SO MUCH FUN!! I was 10 when Thriller came out and I've always tried to copy his dance moves on Thriller and Beat It, without much luck. With this game, I get to learn all of those steps and listen to great music! You don't need a lot of space and I totally worked up a sweat after the first few songs. I have a treadmill that is gathering dust in a cold basement but this got me up at 6am this morning to get in a few songs before work! It would be fun even if you weren't actually holding a controller and playing the game but just dancing along. Great variety of songs, easy, medium and hard levels and you can choose to be Michael or a back up dancer. I'm thinking a Wii dance party is in order! GO BUY IT!

Loved dancing as a teenager. Love this now. Great exercise and entertainment. No expertise required. Was surprised and pleased to see little icons as the wii remote tracks your arm movements. does not track footwork nor grade you on that. As you use it more , more points are earned and you see more training videos. Easy to use from the beginning. It's fascinating how you can click on the training parts and learn stuff which looks great and simple now that they've decoded the movements. They show the dance moves slowly so that you can pick them up. I haven't gone through all to to see if they ever show how to moonwalk, but I don't care because THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! Makes you appreciate Michael Jackson as a great choreographer.

We bought the Just Dance 2 for wii and enjoy it so we decided to try this one as well. It truly exceeded our expectations for a musical game. Not only does it have all the essential Michael J songs, you can unlock part of the musical video and dance instructions. Did I mention you also get a workout while enjoying your favorites? True family fun and great for summer time exercise when it's too hot outside! We bought this on sale ($25) and it is entertainment for the whole family!

I'm an MJ fan regardless of his indifferences. The man was a Genius at his craft. This is my first dance game, and boy is it a workout! I love all the songs on the playlist and the dances are almost spot on to what is seen in the music videos. This is a great buy.

My kids can't get enough of this game. They play as Michael and sometimes as the background dancers. It never gets old as they attempt to master the moves.

If you're a fan of Michael Jackson, you're going to love this game. The songs are arranged kind of like an iTunes library, where you can see title of the song and album cover. Gameplay is challenging, as it should be. You can't just expect to know how to move like Michael, especially playing for the first time. Definitely a great workout game, although it doesn't feel like work. You'll either feel like a pro mastering the moves, or you'll be laughing as you try to keep up. There are a few things about the game I'd tweak (such as being able to unlock dance lessons before actually having to try the dance) but all in all it's GREAT fun! I wouldn't say that the motion sensor is spot on with what you're actually doing, although I do feel it scores accurately most of the time. You definitely can't complete the game with one sitting. It's one you can come back to time after time. Very extensive collection of songs, and not just the all-time greats like you'd expect.

I got this game for Christmas. I told my husband this is what I wanted and he looked at me puzzled. I've never been much of a dancer but I have always admired Michael's dance moves. I've looked at video's online of his dance moves, but it was still hard to achieve. This game is great! You get to learn his dance moves, and if your not so great at them, they have tutorials on how to do the dance moves. The game is basic, 26 songs, but when you have a crowd of 4, this game is a blast! Even my husband jumped in on the fun. My 8 year old loves it too.

I am undoubtably the worst dancer in the world. I have absolutely no skills whatsoever, however, I am a huge MIchael Jackson fan so I thought I would give the game a try.
I am glad I did! While even the "easy" songs are hard for me, I am having fun with the game and most importantly, I am moving and sweating! I have gained a crazy amount of weight since I started driving a cab a few years ago and with my 45th birthday rapidly approaching, I knew I needed to get off of my rather large butt and do something!
Since I hate everything there is about exercise I needed to find something I would do on a regular basis that I would enjoy and wouldn't be too difficult. Well, I have definitely found it! I am glad I bought this game and I know doing it at least 4 to 5 days a week with working on my diet, I should definitely lose weight!

I bought this for my kids but it has become a great family game. The graphics are very good and because the songs have varying difficulty levels, everyone can play it together. You do need a lot of room though to move around. The songs are all "clean" so there is no bad language. I would recommend.

My kids and I love this, when I bought my teen girls were like "Ah...Its going to be BORING.. its only for you mom"
Now, it has been more than a month and they play/dance way more than I do..it make us work out without even feel that we are doing any exercise.
WE LOVE IT....

I bought this (on sale) as a present so I can only go on what the recipient has told me. #1. It didn't come with the special "MJ Glove" as advertised. #2. A little difficult to navigate once in the game, but that's not BB's fault. Great music and graphics. Overall, enjoyed very much!

This game rocks!! I love the lifelike images of Michael! He even has a dance school for the rhythm and coordinated impared, lol. I like how he has backup dancers and on some of the tracks you can pick to either be Michael or the backup dancers, but personally I pick MJ because its called the Michael Jackson: The Experience, not "Backup Dancers Experience". On Christmas day, my family and I played for and hour and I have to admit it was a pretty good workout too. Just make sure you have plenty of room to move around, because you are going to be doing a lot of dance moves. It is deserving of 5 stars!!

I've played this alone, which is fun, but is fantastic in a group. Plus it is a great workout. Multiple player fun is especially good. I do recommend starting with the Easy choreography first to learn the game. I do find the video instruction/warm ups pretty lame, but they are not needed to play the game. Great fun and all of my friends go out and get it when they leave my house.

I love this WII program. You never get bored, can dance until your heart is content while working those pounds off. Then if you are not as cordinated, Michael's dancers show you how Michael did it....so much fun!!
