The Michael Jackson Experience (Wii)
The common rule in the music industry is that when a singer dies they become much bigger in death than they ever were in life.
The industry faces a bit of a challenge when it comes to Jacko - for 40-odd years he was the most famous artist on the planet.
Understandably the world is saturated with Jacko products with trees being felled at tremendous speed to produce all the books that people are writing about him.
A video game wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind though although it does make perfect sense - it's not actually the first time, I recall a Moonwalker tie-in many years ago!
Anyway - what do we have here you ask?
Well essentially it's Ubisoft releasing a new version of Just Dance - a Jacko version.
Packed with a huge catalogue of the biggest hits and crowd pleasers this is a unique chance to emulate the biggest entertainer of all time.
You get to learn his moves, dance the routines and even act as a backing dancer to him.
It's a dance along rhythm game that you have seen and enjoyed many times recently for sure but that added attraction of it being Jacko does add a lot to the enjoyment.
There are some nice little touches such as the correlating backdrops and instantly recognizable themed dancers - see Thriller.
With such a strong catalogue of songs and dance this is a winner all the way, especially for fans.
