At its E3 conference this year, Ubisoft didn't say much about its Michael Jackson game, other than that it existed. It was waiting for an event in London apparently, where it revealed most of the details for the title, called Michael Jackson: The Experience.
The game puts players in the shiny loafers of the King of Pop as they re-enact his dances and performances, including "Beat It" and "Billie Jean." The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will feature support for Kinect and Move, respectively. The Move support is apparently similar to what was seen in Ubisoft's Your Shape: Evolved title, using the Kinect camera to mirror the images of the player on the screen. You'll also be singing along to the hits as well -- the game will support microphones, with auto-pitch technology so you won't make neighborhood strays howl.
The title will also be available for the Wii, as well as the Nintendo DS and the PSP, the latter consoles featuring gameplay that has you tapping to the rhythm of the tracks.
Michael Jackson: The Experience is out this November, just in time to make it on to everyone's holiday wish lists.

2) It's Billie Jean. C'mon Chester. Get it together.
Dance moves with Michael magic that double as attacks.
Monkeys that turn MJ into Mecha MJ.
Smartbomb attacks that force all onscreen enemies into a dance number.
All this could have beenn had in HD.
Also, pelvic thrusting robots.......cocks.
Good sir I don't say things like this often but if that is truly your excuse for why this game shouldn't be a thing then you are, quite frankly, a moron.
And that is all I have to say about that.
Thats just ignorant... You guys are ignorant. [/girlyvoice] :D

Perhaps I have underestimated you. And overestimated you.
Also this
Because apparently this thread needs pictures.
"I don't care if Michael Jackson freaked off with little boys or not. Fuck those kids." I believe he already did! YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! (Wait, did I do that right?)
Oh wow, so the haters have come out?

Then the child molestation accusations came in and I've honestly never been able to look at him the same way again. It wasn't even like I was an avid fan but it did kinda stain his career forever. So anyone (here's lookin at you bigmoose85) that excuses Michael of the possibility of child molestation because he's a 'great entertainer' needs to be curb stomped.....like yesterday.
P.S. I'm glad 'This Is It' exists though. It does allow for atleast a glimpse into his work. A small step towards humanizing the guy.
P.P.S. Freddie Mercury > MJ any day of the week.
000110101010101SHAMONE!!!!!0101001101011001010110 FTW / SOOOOOPERLLLLLUUUUULLLZ
But I digress.
Occams electric toothbrush FTW, and for making my day.
Cha'moan'uh.
Anyway, this is the first and only thing about Kinect that has interested me in the slightest. You mean I can moonwalk across my apartment...and on my TV...at the same time?
I have no idea of how our demon lords at Microsoft managed to conceive such dark magic, but yes. DO WANT :)
