Konami details new Kinect dance title 'Rhythm Party' for Xbox 360

Konami have today revealed details of the all-new dance title for Xbox 360, Rhythm Party. Previously known as Boom Boom Dance, the game will be available on February 1st via Xbox LIVE Arcade for 800 MS points, and has been designed exclusively for use with Kinect for Xbox 360.

The key to Rhythm Party is a total freedom of movement in front of the motion sensor peripheral. The new game offers ‘open format’ dancing so, unlike other music and dancing games, does not rely on contrived choreography. Instead, as the player’s silhouette is shown on screen, players can move to the beat and groove freely to create their own performance.

These dances are rated as they coincide with performance ‘ripples’ on screen, with points and bonuses awarded that bolster the player’s score. These moves then throw the player into a world of vivid color, wild backgrounds and graphical psychedelia as outlandish interactive backgrounds such as electric carnivals, wild discos and Spanish cafes complement the on-screen moves.

Ryhthm Party also incorporates a number of party classics by some of today’s biggest artists, and exclusive collaborations created especially for the game:

Born This Way - Lady Gaga
Every Little Step - Bobby Brown
Y.M.C.A. - Village People
A Midnight Rendezvous - Shanice
Still unbreakable -Des-ROW Ft. Vanilla Ice
Say a Prayer - Des-ROW Ft. Maxi Priest
Befree - Des-ROW Ft. Vanilla Ice
Summer Fairytale - Design-MAD crew
Heartbreak (Sound Selektaz remix) - NAOKI feat. Becca Hossany
All Thu The Night - jun feat. Lisa Lisa
