GC 2010: Dance Evolution announced for Kinect

Konami has announced Dance Evolution for Kinect on Xbox 360.

The game offers users the “ulti­mate dance club vibe”, and prom­ises to be the most “real­istic and exhil­ar­at­ing dan­cing exper­i­ence to date”.

Kinect for Xbox 360 allows play­ers to watch their actions in real time and also lets them save two of their ori­ginal routines for use as back-up dan­cers.

That’s not all though, play­ers will also be able to chal­lenge up to four friends via Xbox Live, allow­ing them to enhance their exper­i­ence.

“As an expert in the rhythm-based genre with games such as the highly-successful DanceDanceRevolution fran­chise, it was a nat­ural fit for KONAMI to util­ize the new cap­ab­il­it­ies of Kinect and cre­ate the next gen­er­a­tion of dan­cing video games,” said Martin Schneider, European Marketing and PR Director for Konami.

“DanceEvolution is truly an inter­act­ive, full body dance game, provid­ing gamers a heart-pumping exper­i­ence.”

It will fea­ture 30 tracks span­ning club music clas­sics, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop and Techno when it launches, while Konami has announced plans to release “theme packs” some­time after launch.

Dance Evolution is out this November.
