    I’m really kind of embarrassed that I’m giving this game such a high score. I thought I was going to hate it, but I really liked it. Now all they need to do is combine the hand motion dancing from this game with a DDR style game to get the full body involved and you’ll have a really hard and involved dancing game on your hands.

    A decent shot at motion-controlled rhythm gameplay aside, this shameless cash-in game of a shameless cash-in TV show is what it is. What is it? Stacy Keibler is in this game!

    As with most games looking to cash in on whatever is popular at the moment, this game is just the same old song and dance.

    Seriously, if you made it this far and are still interested in getting the game, don't. Dancing with the Stars is an potentially interesting idea wrapped up in a fraudulent game that's really just a mini-game in Rayman Raving Rabbids.

    Lets remember this game is rated for 10+, My 6 yr old plays and my wife who never plays video games loves it. It is a good game to get the family together. That is why i give it an 8.… Expand

    Bought this for the mum-in-law for Christmas. We all played it at the traditional Christmas dinner. Fun was had by all. Yes, it is a light simplistic game. But the ladies like it, and it is good in a mixed group to get non-gamers up in front of the TV making fools of themselves. Quote from a friend at the party: "It's like Guitar Hero only lamer".… Expand

    DDR for your hands! What a disappointment! It does get faster and more difficult, but there's no dancing involved whatsoever.

    WII- I was really expecting more.... as my husband searched all over our city and metro area for this game I felt obligated to play it, even though I knew it couldn't be good with no mat or anything. I'm so disappointed in it. All the hype around the game (prob built up by myself) and then to sit on the couch and dance with the stars. Really let down.… Expand
