Nickelodeon Dance
© 2011 2K Play
A great music library meets poor interactive design, in this two-player movement program for Kinect and Wii (we tried the Kinect version, to which the ratings apply). Content includes 30 songs that feature Dora, Diego, and the Backyardigans as models. It is easy for a second player to jump into the dance, say for a mom or dad to dance along. While Dora fans will like the characters and authentic narration, they'll tire of the excessive instructions and confusing scoring system. Younger children will need help figuring the multi-stage setup. This one needs improvement. Created by High Voltage Software, published by 2K Play for Nickelodeon Kids & Family.
