DanceStar Party Hits

It seems that just before Christmas, all the casual party games start to get released and this time Sony want you to get your groove on with DanceStar Party Hits, the latest PlayStation Move dancing game. So watch those controllers as you start dancing because it's going to get competitive!

Following the same formula of the highly popular DanceStar series, Hits once again revisits the dancing genre as players use their move controller and the camera to get into all sorts of mischief as they dance to their hearts content. Best of all, even if you're the worst dancer in the world, you can still get your groove on in DanceStar Party Hits... although you might want to make sure no-one is watching!

Before jumping into the game, players are treated to a relatively easy to use interface which gives the players the chance to dance solo or with other players to some of the world's most popular hits. The idea of the game is to mimic the onscreen dancers and the closer you match your moves to them, the higher your points will be. It's basically Singstar for Dancing, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Unlike Kinect dancing games, games on the PS3 are far more accurate thanks to the move controller as the camera actually follows you faster. For the uninitiated, it does take some time getting use to the controls or mirroring your dancing with the dancers on your TV but if you persist, it's actually quite a fun game that will make you build up your sweat, especially with over 160 dance routines.

However where the game shines is when played with other people and the title supports up to 20 players to join in the fun. You can even upload your own dance routines to the PS network and there's even some fun leaderboards to join in. With a variety of game modes, DanceStar Party Hits is fun just to dance, especially when the competition is taken away. There is a practice mode which also incorporates a workout mode that really makes you lose those calories and of course, practice your moves.

Graphics/Audio

Graphically, DanceStar Party Hits looks a little Spartan on the PS3, especially when compared to the more detailed games on this console but all in all, it's a colourful and well made game. The star of the game however are the various artists that grace this title. These include...

Aloe Blacc I Need A Dollar

Final Thoughts?

In the end, DanceStar Party Hits is a fun game that works better with more people. It is fun by yourself but that does start to whither quite fast. Grab your friends, host a party and have the best dance off from the comfort of your own home as you listen to some of the world's greatest hits!
