Dance Central 2 is a music rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360 Kinect.
The core gameplay in Dance Central 2 is mostly identical to the original Dance Central. Players perform given dance moves, which are tracked by the Kinect. The more accurately the player performs the move, the more points he/she scores. Higher difficulties increase move complexity, and the margin of error is reduced.
Features new to Dance Central 2 include voice control, simultaneous two player gameplay in both cooperative and competitive modes with drop in/drop out functionality, an improved fitness mode, a more in-depth and customizable "Break it Down" mode, allowing the player to practice only specific moves in a routine, and a campaign mode featuring dance crews of various styles.
The following 44 songs appear on the Dance Central 2 disc. Songs that are in pink are cover versions. Riptide's Songs are in red are the songs in the Crew Challenge. Flash4wrd's Songs in are green are the songs in the Crew Challenge. Lu$h Crew's Songs are in blue are the songs in the Crew Challenge. Hi-Def's Songs are in yellow are the songs in the Crew Challenge. And The Glitterati's Songs are in purple are the songs in the Crew Challenge. All songs that are in light blue are final challenge songs in Crew Challenge led by D-Cypher. All songs are unlocked from the start.
Similar to games in the Rock Band franchise, users were able to import all 32 songs from the original Dance Central disc for 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99 in the US). On October 25th 2016, this possibility was shut down and a new import is no longer possible; if the import was purchased at an earlier date, it remains intact and can still be re-downloaded.
