Konami unleashes third Dancing Stage for Xbox
Konami of Europe unveils key new gameplay additions as Dancing Stage Unleashed 3 heads to Xbox
Description
The new game features 20 new, licensed tracks and accompanying videos, with a further 30 Konami-exclusive tracks creating a varied track-list devised to push the player to their limits. As has become a staple of the series, both modern and classic pop tracks have been included, with Bodyrockers' 'I Like the Way You Move', Basement Jaxx's 'Oh My Gosh' and 'Wake Me Up' from Girls Aloud mixing with the likes of 'House of Fun' by Madness and FatBoy Slim's 'Rockafella Skank." The tracks are also accompanied by on-screen dancers who give a secondary indication of the player's prowess – while a biting CPU scorer will rate them as anything from 'Poor' to 'Excellent', depending on their timing.
Dancing Stage Unleashed 3 also adds fresh ideas to the mix in the form of 'Freestyle', 'Quest' and 'Jukebox' modes. In 'Freestyle Mode', the game does away with the familiar arrows and allows players to perform whatever steps they wish. It then rates the performance, with matching specific beats and originality of movement key factors in its final score.
