Gameplay
--------
Dance Paradise is designed to measure players' ability to perform
queued dance moves, but unlike other dance games which deal in
simple directional movement, detailed accuracy is key here. This
is made possible through the real-time motion capture abilities
of Kinect. Gameplay in Dance Paradise is based around the game's
four color-coded dance lanes. As music tracks and videos run in
the background and your Xbox LIVE avatar cheers you on from
themed game environments, two-dimensional representations of the
dance move you are to mimic slide down the dance lanes towards
you in a conveyer belt fashion at the center of the screen. In
the few seconds that it takes for these representations to reach
the bottom front of the screen they have repeated the move
several times. At the end of each lane is a virtual dance pad,
which when reached by the two-dimensional figure is your queue to
mimic the dance move. A variety of the possible moves slide down
all four lanes with players hopping laterally to adjacent dance
pads to unleash their versions of them. Moves are rated in
real-time and proceed in rhythm with the track. Successful moves
fill the player's in-game vitality bar, while unsuccessful
attempts subtract from it. Your game ends if the bar is
completely drained.
Play Modes
----------
Dance Paradise features multiple game modes in both single player
and multiplayer. Single player modes include: Free Play, in which
you can queue up the tracks you want and dance away to your
heart's content; Training Mode where you can practice the
individual moves that you will see in in-game action; and Career
Mode - 6 progressive game levels, each of which contain specific
challenges that must be met before you can move on to the next.
Two player multiplayer modes include: Attack mode, a mode in
which after filling their vitality bars players can unleash
power-ups that throw off the dance moves of nents; Versus
mode, where players dance off to the same tracks with the winner
being the most accurate; and Synchro mode, a cooperative play
option where two players must dance in synch to the same track
and moves.
