We'll Be Dancing In Kinect Star Wars

Kinect Star Wars won't just be about smashing cities as a rancor or chopping storm troopers in half with a lightsaber. Microsoft and LucasArts are including dancing segments in Kinect Star Wars, too.

According to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, players will perform activities in the game such as "dance tournaments, podracing, and Jedi duels."  The description of the game continues: "In the dancing mini-game, some female characters perform suggestive moves (e.g., gyrating their hips/buttocks) and wear revealing outfits (partially exposed cleavage/buttocks)."

Kinect Star Wars was given a T rating and is scheduled to ship sometime in 2012. It was originally delayed out of this holiday.

  • Aaaaaalrighty then...

  • *facepalm*

  • ummm ok... sounds lame

  • I had a bad feeling about this game at first, but now it's a day 1 buy.

  • I suppose it would make sense if the player visits cantinas. Still, dancing and Star Wars doesn't make much sense.

    Side note: there's always room for gyrating hips/buttocks/cleavage.
  • YES I ALWAYS WANTED A STAR WARS DANCING GAME!!!!!

  • You know, as "revolutionary" as Kinect was (aka as the first few trailers for Kinect were) some games, such as things involving weapons like swords or lightsabers or other blades, are just way better with a Wii Remote. Plus, if this were on Wii, they wouldn't be throwing in dancing, because there's more controls on Wii then JUST motion control. I like MC, but if it's the only control scheme, as in no buttons AT ALL, its ruined.

    And seriously, showing off Kinect's capabilties by making a sexy Star Wars dance game? I think the group mostly buying this is going to be single 35-40 year old males.

  • As if the Kinect wasn't already enough of a joke XD.

  • Another Kinect game that will receive a horrible review.

  • wut....hahahaha. why wont anyone just admit that motion controls are not good enough for core games

  • uggghhh... this game keeps sounding worse and worse

  • Star Wars: Soul Train Edition
  • and they said i was stupid for not getting the kinect yeah but now i can say: yeah well maybe i don't want to play a star wars game that makes you dance

  • Wow, every time I think this game just couldn't sound any more terrible....

  • That just made the game even more appealing...

  • -Sith Lord,"Prepare to die, Jedi Scum" -Jedi Me,"Think again, you evil ***. Get ready to feel my justice!" *Jedi starts Shufflin' and flails his lightsaber about.
  • Dancing isn't anything new in Star Wars. It's been around since at least Return of the Jedi, if not earlier. So it's not really out of place. However, this game is going to be some sort of abomination, I imagine. Supposedly it's not even a very great design, and doesn't even work properly. That's bad news already, but then they decide to implement a dancing mini-game? I'm wondering if this is a desperation move, or if they really thing it adds to the experience. It's like instead of focusing on the game they originally built, they're trying to stuff it full of mini-games that will hopefully entertain the poor souls who get tricked into buying this by the Star Wars name and promises of Kinect.
  • This is another reason my Kinect just sits in the corner, gathering dust.

  • hmm, well despite the ridiculous amount of negative comments for no apparent reason, as everyone is just b*tching and no one is saying what there so upset about. I think the possiblities this game has could be great, I see this like a big sampler of what the Kinnect is capable of. Im looking forward to buying this game simply for what is probably the most complete kinnect experience. And something you should all think about, ITS A KINNECT GAME, that means its not going to have the best graphics all the time or the best gameplay all the time. Were still adapting to this new input peripheral and these things take time and development. I think this is something everyone can learn to just enjoy gaming again.
  • Of-course there is dancing sections how else could we in-game celebrate after killing Jar-Jar Binks?
