While no viewing of people dancing to a videogame will ever top Konami's reveal of their dance game, this has to come in a close second. Our main video guy Rey and our industrious leader, Mr. Destructoid himself, got up on stage and tried out the new Kinect dancing game Dance Central. As you can see they have some skills. As you can also see it's a little hard to see out of that helmet.
While I can't tell you much about the game since I didn't experience it I can tell you that if I had a large open space in my apartment I'd totally be down for this. In fact I would I would love to reenact this exact scene in my apartment. I don't have the space though so I will never be able to do that in my apartment. Damn you tiny apartment!

That still kinda makes it look like Mr. Destructoid is spanking Rey's ass.
I'm sold.
in all seriousness, we already have a free copy of Just Dance in the house, and I don't see my mother scrambling to spend $150 on Kinect just for this.
I think I had a different concept of how this game worked. Hmmm, not as cool as I thought. Also, has anyone ever seen Niero's face? I'm kind of scared by what may be beneath.
Were the characters on screen supposed to be doing the same motions as the people dancing? Because it doesn't look like they are and what's the point of the whole thing if they aren't?
