Customers Feedback

The Michael Jackson The Experience Wii Game will get you dancing in no time! This one-of-a-kind game features interactive experience that allows you to hit all of MJ's killer moves. This Wii game offers fun and exhilarating way to relive how the King of Pop ruled the music industry with his hit songs and trademark dance moves.

The game has up to 26 selections of Michael Jackson's greatest hits, complete with streaming of full lyrics and authentic MJ choreography for each song. The game supports multiplayer modes, allowing you and 3 other friends to play a match.
The game provides you with great workout without straining your muscles too much. Elders (senior citizens) who already have physical limitations can enjoy the game as well. Since it is fun to do, you won't even notice that you're actually exercising, making it the ideal workout regime for those who get bored with repetitive routines.

With Michael Jackson The Experience, you can choose to follow the dance moves of either MJ himself or his backup dancers. There is also a Practice Mode to guide you with the dance steps before you go into the Competition Mode with your friends. You get points when you correctly hit each move. But don't worry, cheating is allowed. You can still make some points by simply waving your hand, but the points aren't as high as when you do it the right way. Bonus points are awarded for exact move mimicking and for perfect Gold Moves.

The game has some downside though. Some of the songs are edited, meaning they are not MJ's original song versions. This is a very big 'BOOO' if you are a diehard King of Pop fan. The menu is a bit difficult to navigate, at least difficult for those who don't spend half their day playing video games.
