They’ve tried to include songs from across Jackson’s whole career and have hit a fine balance between the popular singles and the fan favourites. The set list is an interesting one and, truth be told, I’m not sure whether I agreed with some of the song choices or not. Whilst the gameplay is pretty solid overall, MJ: The Experience suffers from a few issues in terms of its content. The option to use a second Wii remote in your left hand might have been a nice way to compensate for this but, this said, I was still grateful enough that the motion controls felt accurate and fluid at all (and yes I still generally dislike the Wii. The fact that the game can only sense movement in one of your arms through the singular remote often makes you stay routed to the spot and completely forget about any of the dance moves that go on below the waist. The only flaw I would level at the controls ais in their limited scope. The general controls work reasonably well and the combination of copying the moves on-screen and the diagrams that show you the next move that appear in the top left corner of the HUD make MJ: The Experience a game that is extremely easy to pick up and play. You hold a single Wii remote in your right hand and copy/mirror the dance moves that are performed on screen by, either Jackson himself, or his backup dancers or dance partner depending on which song you choose to perform. The game sees you replicating dance moves to various tracks throughout MJ’s illustrious career, scoring points for accurately mimicking the dance routines. Now things are different though, and Jackson returns once more in a dancing game that seems somewhat more appropriate to his career and public image. Back in 1989 when video game licensing didn’t need to make any sense Michael Jackson starred in Michael Jackson’s: Moonwalker, a bizarre 2D console and arcade endeavour that had little to do with the King of Pop aside from his image and a few songs.
