    It's such a fun and addicting game for what it is. I just hope they conisder adding Bee Gee's, Abba, and Gangnam Style DLC. I also hope they'll create a character customization mode in the future. Other than that the songs are pretty good, but it's not my personal favorite. However, everyone has different musical tastes. I like how it's so diverse bringing back the classics. The DanceIt's such a fun and addicting game for what it is. I just hope they conisder adding Bee Gee's, Abba, and Gangnam Style DLC.

    Definitivamente es el mejor juego de baile que usa Kinect, tiene a favor su ahora gran cantidad de canciones, rutinas para realizar, y el modo historia.
    Algo que no tiene a favor es que aún no veo mejoría con la captura de movimiento y comandos de voz en español

    Definitely a must-buy if you liked Dance Central 1 and 2. Improved menus, more voice commands and better voice recognition, terrific track list covering songs from the 70s through present day hits. Story mode is a welcome addition as it improves on Dance Central 2's Crew Challenge mode. Alternative outfit unlocks, secret characters, hidden modes. Lots of replay value.

Dance Challenges from Dance Central's Facebook app has been added ingame as well and is another mode that will help the online social aspect further. Party Mode and 8 player Crew Throwdowns is for local multiplayer and is definitely an improvement over Dance Central 2's Dance Battles. Minigames like Strike-a-Pose and Make-a-Move are also nice additions to add to the variety in how one wants to play. If you are one of the few who have held out on buying an Xbox with Kinect, Dance Central 3 is one of the reasons you should pick one up now. Dance Central 3 showcases Kinect's capabilities in a fun and addictive way and sure to be a staple of the Kinect stable for a long time to come.… Expand

    Dance Central 1 with replaced tracks for the same full price which should have been dance central 1's DLC, thats all it is, overpriced DLC unreleased for DC1 and 2 and repackaged into DC3

    Dance Central still stands as the best Kinect-based franchise to date. Dance Central 3 improves the formulas already laid and shows a little bit of something new. The franchise promises to turn those willing it invest themselves whole-heartedly into choreographic whizzes, something you might take interest in if you're into the club-scene or just like moving around with great flourish!Dance Central still stands as the best Kinect-based franchise to date. Dance Central 3 improves the formulas already laid and shows a little bit of something new. The franchise promises to turn those willing it invest themselves whole-heartedly into choreographic whizzes, something you might take interest in if you're into the club-scene or just like moving around with great flourish! Of course, you can't succeed in this genre without a good setlist, and Dance Central 3 gives great beats to move to (mostly). It's the DLC that makes the game feel flexible, as not everyone will love every song, thus not wanting to learn the dances. So as long as you're willing to drop a few extra dollars here and there for the songs you'd really want, you're in for a lot of fun... and some exercise, too!… Expand

    I am not a dancer per say, but I did enjoy playing this game more than the others in the series. I enjoy the range of music, which is why it is getting a 7. It's like taking a part in the history of dancing music, but still needs some tweaks. I'll explain in detail on the Podcast. Hear my full review on the show, http://liquidgamer.podbean.com

    I always playing this game on my Xbox because the graphic is nice,good music and the dance move in this game is very nice but there is something I don't like is music got shortened.

    Still a good game to play and worth to buy,I give it 10/10.

    Definitivamente la mejor saga de kinect, y este su mejor exponente, el juego por si solo amerita la compra del aparato, junto a Child of Eden y Fantasia Music Evolved

    It's pretty average compared to some of the other dance and fitness games out there. The song selection is a bit lame, and the graphics are pretty mediocre.

    If I was to recommend any installment of the series, it would be Dance Central 2. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.70]

    Dance Central 3 is the best chapter of the saga. The multiplayer has been improved and the Story Mode provides constant motivation also to single player.

    The best thing to do when you put on Dance Central 3 is to embrace shame, put your dignity aside and get dancing. Oh, and then there's the latest DLC, which includes Gangnam Style. You know you want to horsey dance. Oh yes you do.
