Star Wars Kinect Sounds Like an Atrocity
Please, somebody Force-choke me.

Star Wars Kinect Has Dancing Tournaments
27Kinect Star Wars Delayed
17Cost You, Star Wars Xbox 360 Will
27The press release just came through for Star Wars Kinect. It’s coming out on the 3rd of April and they’ve somehow seen justification in ramming a dancing game mode into it. I wish it was April the 1st.
Galactic Dance Off Mode is, according to the bile-summoning PR schtick, “loaded with Star Wars-themed pop tunes where those still honing their Jedi skills can take a break to battle Darth Vader on the dance floor”. It genuinely sounds like the worst thing anyone could ever have put in a video game to me. I don’t know, perhaps kids will adore throwing shapes with Jar Jar Binks but I can only imagine there being any joy if you get to pop and lock his skinny little neck.
Don’t panic though other, potentially less horrendous, game modes include the ability to take part in lightsaber duels, space battles and ride on speeder bikes. That almost sounds like it might not be completely awful.
So, April 3rd in the UK and £39.99 for the game. The limited edition R2-D2 Xbox 360, C3P0 controller and white Kinect (which I do really want) is set to cost £349.99 and includes a copy of the game. More tempting than the dark side of The Force.
Edit: It’s only fair to point out that Tuffcub broke this story months ago. I’d managed to expunge that from my memory and now I’m going to have to pay for another expensive course of hypnotherapy. Thanks.

Missed it when tuffcub first broke the news a month ago.
I’m not against a Star Wars dance game considering the way things have gone for the franchise, but it infecting another game which might, just might have had a chance of turning out OK, what a farce.

Ho lee shit!
This could be the most embarrassing thing in the entire world. Lucas clearly has absolutely no respect for the brand anymore

Exactly what my father said when he saw the Vodafone ad with Yoda in it. Just making a mockery of one of the best Fantasy worlds ever created its terrible.

Tis a shame lol. I expect to see Darth Vader on celebrity big brother next. Never expected anything from this. Still…would have rocked…a proper star wars beat em up with move and coop story campaign mode…

Perhaps we’ll see more dance modes, it might replace zombie hoard modes. Dance Fifa? Dance CoD?
