Plot: What’s it about?
Grease has some of the most fun musical numbers around, the kind you can’t help but sing and dance along with. This makes Grease an ideal choice for a game of this kind, where you can sing and dance to all your favorites. As with similar dance games on Kinect, the sensor tracks your movements and grades your performance. While you might think you know all the moves to these Grease routines, you’d better have the rhythm to keep up. The songs also feature freestyle sections and even some challenges, which will really test your dance skills. You don’t have to dance alone however, as Grease has special duet choreography which ensures both players will be in the groove. And since Grease has some awesome duets, you know performing them with a friend is just a blast. You can also continue to test your Grease skills with higher difficulties, which demand crisper movements and accurate timing, so be sure to stretch beforehand!
While dancing to these classic songs is fun, Grease also offers more than the dance modes. You can choose a karaoke mode, which allows you to sing along with 20 iconic tunes. In addition to the special karaoke mode, anyone who isn’t dancing can pass the mic around during the dance numbers, to provide some vocals to the mix. As with the dance version, karaoke offers support for duets, both cooperative and competitive. Grease also offers a number of mini-games featuring characters from the movie, which task you to perform various gesture based activities. You’ll have to shoot baskets, jump some hurdles, use your hand to paint cars, hammer out dents, steer a car during a wild chase, but those are just some of the mini-games here. So whether you want to sing, dance, or just play the mini-games, there is a wealth of fun content in Grease. This game is great fun alone, with a friend, or even in a party atmosphere, thanks to the core mechanics and social elements. So if you’re a Grease fan or just love music games, this game is well recommended.
