Question: Do either of these games have "sprinkler" support? You can't have a dancing game for jaded, skinny, white journalists without it. 
 
Patrick's got some moves. =P

Amazing!  The first song was like some wacky interpretive dance, like Spike Jonze's "Praise You" video

Him and Adam Sessler are the only two reasons to pay attention to G4 these days!
 
Anyway, it kind of blows my mind how many people were dancing at the Just Dance 2 thing. I mean, even the audience was participating. It must be some kind of weird mob mentality, like "well everyone else is dancing like an idiot - might as well join in!"

I can't tell if this was the best E3 ever or if Giant Bomb's coverage just made it seem that way.

People who actually payed for Just Dance and liked it are a bunch of clowns. 
First of all, Just Dance is supposedly based on the motion of the Wii remote, so making the movement of your lower body completely useless in terms of scoring points. My point is, if you really liked to dance that much, you could of just danced to a damn music video on MTV for FREE. 
The only legitimate dancing game I see now is Dance Central because Kinect actually takes into account the movement of your ACTUAL body.

@Rocospi:  Exactly!  Just Dance can be played on the couch while reading and keeping one wii-mote armed in the air..  Dance Central is going to be the killer "Launch app" for Kinect!  Not to mention, Just Dance was so far from accurate -- even when you tried to get serious. Music was good though...

These dance games are kinda creepy with a bunch of people doing the same moves in sync with each other. Though it seemed more creepy at Just Dance 2 then Dance Central.

Really hope the Dance Central soundtrack goes in a direction I can appreciate as it looks like a far better game. The tracks announced thus far did almost nothing for me though. Also, that crowd went crazy for Digitalism, that was strange to see.

Just dance 2 definitely seemed to garner more enthusiasm. I've actually been thinking about getting a copy of Just dance to use as a punishment for faux pas on gaming nights - to be filmed and posted on Youtube, naturally.
