Ubisoft Announces ‘The Hip Hop Dance Experience’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZDM0rNgP4U

I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie the hip,
Hip a hop and you don’t stop a rock it,
To the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

Now, what you hear is not a test – I’m rappin’ to the beat,
And now, the groove and Ubisoft are gonna try to move your feet.
See, they have a new dance game and it would like to say hello,
It’s got seven hundred and fifty moves, that’s quite a lot you know.

But first, I gotta bang bang, the boogie to the boogie,
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie,
Let’s rock, this November,
Rock the rhythm that’ll make your body, uhm, bendy-er?

  1. If there is a vita version I will buy it & some run DMC. I quite enjoyed the MJ the experience on the vita

    • How do dance games work on the Vita? Are they just essentially one long QTE?

      Because it isn’t like you can actually ‘dance’ with a VIta version is it?

      • Touch & follow commands something like guitar/DJ Hero. It’s pretty enjoyable on the MJ game just nod ya head & song along

      • I guess, but it isn’t like you have a whole new peripheral to play with or anything is it? Just the buttons & swipes & stuff, so that’s why i equate it more to a QTE.

        Guitar & DJ Hero are different as you aren’t playing with the pad/Vita buttons, so have to learn to adjust to press the buttons of the guitar in a certain fashion whilst strumming & whammying, & DJ Hero goes one further with taps, crossfades & effects manipulation, plus then you have the turntable on top of that too that adds a few more elements to the gameplay (i love DJ Hero btw!).

        Each to their own of course & if you enjoyed it then that’s great, but personally i don’t see the point of a dance game that involves absolutely no dancing! :)

      • I know what u saying but I’m one of them people that will never look silly & try dance along while holding the move etc. I prefer the touch & swipe.

        Wasn’t guitar hero on the psp see that worked, I remember I had some DJ game on my Samsung toco lite & it was touch only it was good so I think it all works tbh.

        Ain’t played DJ hero am a big hiphop fan but I preferred guitar hero over DJ dunno why must be my jimi Hendrix side of me wanting to be a rocks tar

  2. They make Just Dance as well, isn’t it basically the same thing? lol

    • I kinda thought that – Just that they are limiting their audience to only those that enjoy hip hop, which at first seems like a strange move.

      That said, you could also look at it as because they are focussing on one genre only, they can pack a lot more of those types of songs in.

      • But, it’s not hip hop – it’s pure pop.

      • Don’t tell me – I’m not making the damn thing! :D

  3. Only Tuffcub brings you news in a hippity hop stylee… word! :)

    • Yes, dread, I had a similiar situation
      When this kid tried to tell me I didn’t deserve my occupation
      He said I wasn’t shit that I was soon to fall
      I looked him up and down, grab my crotch and said balls
      Of course he tried to bring it on the battling tip
      Ay, you know me, you know I had to come out my shit
      Trying to lounge at the mall, meet skef and Mr. Walton
      Finally I banged his ass wit the verbal assault
      He said a rhyme about his .45 and his nickelbags of weed
      That’s when I preceeded to give him what he needed
      Talking bout I need a phillie right before I get loose
      Poor excuse, money please, I get loose off of orange juice
      Preferly minute maid cuz that’s exactly what it takes
      To write a rhyme, huh, to school your nickels and your dimes
      Because an mc like me be on tv
      Don’t mean I can’t hold my shit down in nyc

      Phony rappers who do not write
      Phony rappers who do not excite
      Phony rappers, you know they type
      Phony rappers, check it

      Oh god I so want to listen to A Tribe Called Quest right now. Must dig out when I get home,.

  4. Hmmmm, this ain’t the sort of Hip Hop dancing I’m used to seeing. I was at a Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie gig a few weeks ago and I’m sure that anyone dancing like those west-end-dance-school-numpties in that promo video above would have been laughed off stage. I’d love to see them take the stage for the upcoming KRS One gig at the Jazz Cafe, London, I’d pay just to see them!

    @TC. Sorry, but the closest you’ll get to ATQ is Q-Tip’s Vivrant Thing (which is probably the best of the bunch)

  5. Yargh, I take such offense.
    Chris Brown? Pitbull? Flo Rida? Li’l Wayne? Nelly?

    *Writes a whole page full of swears*
