Sega’s new dancing game, Go Dance, released today for the iPhone and iPad. It aims to provide the kind of living room gaming experience that you get now with Microsoft’s Kinect and games like Dance Central. But Sega has a new game uses only the simple FaceTime front facing camera that comes on all modern iDevices.
Go Dance uses Sega’s “Extreme Reality” motion capture technology to make the FaceTime Camera into a motion sensor. Players follow onscreen cues and dance to popular songs like Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” and LMFAO’s ubiquitous “Party Rock Anthem”.
You can use AirPlay play on your HDTV which is a godsend. I could see this working on an iPad in a pinch, but considering you’ll need to stand 6 to 7 feet away for the FaceTime camera to register your movement, I don’t see how anyone could really play on an iPhone.
While the song list is pretty small currently, Sega has promised a lot more downloadable content will be available for purchase soon. Check out the description from iTunes below!
