Dance Masters Kinect asks players to mirror dancers on the screen, with the ability for two players to play simultaneously. Although the mechanic looks like fun, this one appears to be aimed towards more serious dance fans, as the game’s soundtrack contains some obscure “techno” and “house music” songs, as opposed to tracks that families might hear regularly on the radio.
