Even the developers can't wrap their heads around it.

Hey guys, I left Pope alone with the Dance Central 3 script for a few days...did we make it through certification? What?...He...What?...He turned the game into a story about a time-travelling, dance crime-fighting, boombox carrying intelligence agency?...And then he died from a gas leak in our office???

It shall be his legacy. And even though it is ridiculous, we will bring it to the masses.

Rest in Peace, you magnificently sideburned bastard.

Secret Agents solving problems through the power of dance? So the plot is basically Elite Beat Agents (which, in fact, does have time travel)?

Harmonix, only one of two devs who can make the Kinnect work as it should and produce something crazy and fun.

(the second is Double Fine of course... and maybe Iron Galaxy)

Good luck boys, I hope it's a big seller for you!

@Sammo21: They have to single handedly justify the Kinect. Yearly is okay when it's the only game worth playing on a platform.

@yakityyakblah: I don't know. My wife likes them and I play them with her but they can't do much more than they already have. Refinement only goes so far when you're doing the exact same thing.

Is also possible to travel back in time to meet 15 year old Justin Bieber ? ...and punch him in the throat ?

( If so, that would be a must buy for me.)

If Call Me Maybe isn't in this game something has gone horribly wrong. It would be an actual Dance Crime.
