Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to the two previous games in the series, in which players repeat dance moves that are tracked by the Xbox Kinect sensor. The more accurately the players dance, the more points and progress for the stars they earn. Increased difficulty for players means more difficult moves to repeat. New in Dance Central 3 is the crew mode Throwdown, where two teams (or up to four), from two to eight players, go to a series of performances, dance battles and mini-games. There is a “Keep the Beat” mini-game in which the player tracks the rhythm and a “Make Your Move” mini-game in which players compete in ordering on the fly. In addition, new in Dance Central 3 is the difficulty for beginners, the difficulty mode for people completely unfamiliar with dance games, and the party mode where they play random songs of small length and mini-games and, depending on how people play the difficulty or increase or lowers.
