SynopsisThere's only one Michael Jackson. With more than 800 million albums sold worldwide, 13 number-one singles in the US and status as one of the most successful performers of all time, the Jackson 5 darling from Indiana has come to define a generation through music. Though the man who made the moonwalk famous and convinced us that "We Are the World" is truly an original, performing like the King of Pop is as easy as ABC in the newest Michael Jackson Experience. It's your turn to don the signature white glove and black fedora and take the stage to celebrate a music icon. In Michael Jackson: The Experience, you will relive the most iconic moments of this worldwide superstar — right in your living room. Glide and rock as you dance along to mind-boggling Michael Jackson performances, using the same incredibly accessible, brilliantly fun gameplay that made Just Dance a hit. Bringing you original songs from the King of Pop's extensive, highly celebrated library, Michael Jackson: Experience brings favorites like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It" to life like never before. Party like a true pop star in exciting multiplayer and competitive modes that get the whole gang into the singing and dancing fun. If you're waiting for a game that's truly a "Thriller," look no further: "This is It."

What's not so great: There's no #2 for Michaels songs!!
I love this WII program. You never get bored, can dance until your heart is content while working those pounds off. Then if you are not as cordinated, Michael's dancers show you how Michael did it....so much fun!!

What's great about it: Music, Graphics, Good workout
What's not so great: Wish it kept track of calories burned
I played Just Dance 2 at my niece's house recently and although I'm not a great dancer it was alot fun and a lot more of a workout than I thought it would be. I'm pretty lazy about doing exercise but it seemed fun so I thought I would buy one for myself. Didn't know alot of songs on the Just Dance videos so when I saw Michael Jackson, I just had to have it being an 80's fan. It is so much fun you don't even realize you're getting a workout until after a couple of fast paced songs. On many songs, you can either play as Michael Jackson or as a backup dancer which their moves are suppose to be harder. And the graphics are really cool. Each song starts out as the actual video which is very reminiscing for me. Paid $40.00 for mine which came with the glove. Well worth the money to me! The only thing I wish it did was keep track of calories you are burning as you are doing it which I believe the Just Dance vides do, but otherwise great game!

What's great about it: Fun for everyone, great music, exercise
We bought the Just Dance 2 for wii and enjoy it so we decided to try this one as well. It truly exceeded our expectations for a musical game. Not only does it have all the essential Michael J songs, you can unlock part of the musical video and dance instructions. Did I mention you also get a workout while enjoying your favorites? True family fun and great for summer time exercise when it's too hot outside! We bought this on sale ($25) and it is entertainment for the whole family!

What's great about it: Pure joy; great music and great exercise
Loved dancing as a teenager. Love this now. Great exercise and entertainment. No expertise required. Was surprised and pleased to see little icons as the wii remote tracks your arm movements. does not track footwork nor grade you on that. As you use it more , more points are earned and you see more training videos. Easy to use from the beginning. It's fascinating how you can click on the training parts and learn stuff which looks great and simple now that they've decoded the movements. They show the dance moves slowly so that you can pick them up. I haven't gone through all to to see if they ever show how to moonwalk, but I don't care because THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! Makes you appreciate Michael Jackson as a great choreographer.

What's great about it: The game designed for all ages use
What's not so great: not a perfect coordination between rhythmic movement, rhythmic sound and the scoring
First time I played this game at my friend’s party and enjoyed it so much. It’s a competitive game, since you are receiving a score for your moves. I especially liked the feature which provides the feedback while you are dancing (i.e. bad, good and excellent), so you know on the spot how you are doing. This game is a great for both, kids and adults entertainment and working out while having fun.
The only thing I would improve about the game is better synchronization of music rhythm, the body motion and the game score. Sometimes, even if you hit the rhythm, the score doesn’t show your moves as “excellent”.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is the bomb! The graphics are great! The concept is great- I love dancing to MJ's music and learning his moves. It's also a great workout. A must for any Michael Jackson fan! All you need now is the glove!

What's great about it: Not much
What's not so great: Everything
I had expected this "game" to teach me some dance moves and allow me to get some good exercise while having some fun. Total bust on all accounts. The "game" is about waving your hand around, not dancing. I can score just as many points sitting on the couch and moving my hand. Not fun at all. No teaching either, at least not in the early stages. A complete disappointment to me. I wish someone had written this review before I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Fun and you will sweat!
What's not so great: Nothing!
I am undoubtably the worst dancer in the world. I have absolutely no skills whatsoever, however, I am a huge MIchael Jackson fan so I thought I would give the game a try.
I am glad I did! While even the "easy" songs are hard for me, I am having fun with the game and most importantly, I am moving and sweating! I have gained a crazy amount of weight since I started driving a cab a few years ago and with my 45th birthday rapidly approaching, I knew I needed to get off of my rather large butt and do something!
Since I hate everything there is about exercise I needed to find something I would do on a regular basis that I would enjoy and wouldn't be too difficult. Well, I have definitely found it! I am glad I bought this game and I know doing it at least 4 to 5 days a week with working on my diet, I should definitely lose weight!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: music, dance moves, graphics, really worth the money
What's not so great: not a thing
I bought this game as a birthday president for my daughter. I was reluctant at first because of the price. I am not a game person but have played this game every weekend for a month with my daughter and her friends. The music is straight from the cd's. The movements represent the Michael Jackson videos perfectly. The graphics are nice and as you play the game you unlock dance move tutorials. Some dances can be easy and other's hard. You can be a backup dancer or Michael on certain songs. Michael wears the same clothes in each song as he did in that video. Very well done!!! I feel like I am at a concert. Hard to break yourself away from playing it is so fun. It is even funnier to let someone play who has no rhythm. This was a great investment, Michael would be so proud.
