1. Dance Central 2– Dance Central uses Microsoft’s Kinect sensor to monitor the player’s body as he or she dances. Players mimic what the character in the middle is doing and follow pictures on the side of the screen. To earn points and get a good workout, it’s up to the player to match the dance moves the game asks him or her to do. The game will track the hands, feet, legs, arms, and head, and the player has to match the moves the character is doing. This gets a little crazy and definitely gets the heart pounding and burning calories.
