Dance Central 2 Confirmed, Offers Full Track Export

Dancink! (Not a typo.)

As expected, Harmonix developers were on hand at Microsoft's E3 2011 press conference to demo the sequel to its hit Kinect dance game, Dance Central.

Project Lead Kasson Crooker introduced the game with the news that all tracks from the original Dance Central would export for Dance Central 2, thus offering what Crooker said would be "the most music available for any dance game, anywhere."

Beyond that? Hey guys, more dancing! New dances, characters, venues, career mode, and multiplayer options. Looks pretty fun, as usual.

If it's the same as the last but with more, that's cool. Not for me, but cool.

Saw the Crooker name and thought: " Oh shit, this will feature Crookers!!" Sadly, no.

Glad there's track exporting like with Rock Band. Hopefully, they have something new (as in franchise) to show.

Wait, what about Rock Band?

They were dancing in sync, but I'm more curious if the kinect has the ability to recognize two people playing on different difficulties. For Rock Band, its important that people can play on whatever difficultly they like independent of other players/

Cannot wait! I love the original - still play it often, at least once a week. Looking forward to new songs.

Singstar Dance has more tracks. Glad to see Harmonix still isn't tired of flat out lieing.

This'll be a day one purchase in my house whether I care or not.
Can't wait to see the track list.
 
Really looking forward to career mode and co-op. Really hoping "new characters" means "customizable".

I knew this was too good to be true! What else were they lying about? THE DANCING?

Your nerd rage is so great it apparently hinders your ability to add.

I think the guy never heard of Stepmania and similar games and it's 3000+ song set lists.

Sweet with the export. Now, if they allow setlists so you can dance to several songs in a row this would be great.

It's fun to play on my own but with friends...it's kind of akward.
