  Overall, Dance Central 3 stands as arguably the best Kinect dance game for the Xbox 360 to date. With 45-songs out the box and numerous new features to get your booty shakin’, the Dance Central franchise has once again shown why they are the crème of the crop when it comes to dancing games on Xbox 360 console.

  Dance Central is one of the few games that's worth going out and buying Kinect for, and Dance Central 3 makes that purchase all the more worthwhile. It's filled with innovation, a huge track list, working motion capture controls, and The Electric Slide! How can you hate on a game that features The Electric Slide? Dance Central 3 is one of the best, if not the best, game the Kinect has to offer, and yet there is still room to grow in Dance Central 4.

  The fact that you can import music from the first two games is one of the most appealing aspects of Dance Central 3, as I personally have benefited thanks to owning more songs than I know what to do with. It's absolutely perfect for Party mode, as you almost never hear the same song twice, and Harmonix should be commended for this kind of support.

  Thanks to DC3, the dance bug won’t just bite you; It’ll latch onto your brain stem

  Deep in the recesses of hidden hard drives, video exists that features me making a fool of myself at my wedding, but that is the closest I have ever come to dancing in public. With Dance Central, I don’t mind jumping right up and waving my arms and legs around like I know what I am doing. I have always enjoyed Harmonix’s dancing franchise, and Dance Central 3 is the best experience I have ever had with Kinect.

  Dance Central 3 continues to proves Harmonix is one of too-few developers that understands why Kinect can be special. The track list is varied and playful in a way that works with its terrific, tough story mode, and no matter how much time you spend banging your head against tutorial walls, your effort pays off in spades. The choreography here is complex, as well as diverse in genre, style, and energy – and nailing a routine feels incredible.

  It's hard to see how Harmonix can continue to update this series every year without it quickly growing stagnant. Crew Throwdown and the party mode are nice touches for people who have the necessary floor space for a party, but neither is a revolutionary new feature. You can't fault pop music for repetition, but if you keep remaking the same hit people will eventually get tired of it. Still, Dance Central 3 has a good beat and you can dance to it, so it's not time to leave the club just yet.

  As a complete package, Dance Central 3 is the best dance game yet. Whether you want to boogie with a bunch of friends or perfect your routines in single-player, Harmonix has hooked you up with plenty of gratifying options. This may not be the end-all-be-all of motion-controlled movin’ and groovin’, but it once again gives the Kinect a glorious, life-of-the-party purpose.

  But even the shame of the Macarena can't detract from Dance Central 3's infinite joy. Everything about the game — its preposterous storyline, its madcap multiplayer modes — peels away at the inherent, inextricable humiliation of dancing in front of your peers. To start a dance battle in one of those modes, you have to high-five your opponent in real life. Rest assured, you are in very, very good hands.
