Dance Fabulous impresses Ewan

Published by at

Over on Ovi Gaming, Ewan Spence has been putting Nokia's exclusive music game Dance Fabulous through its paces, and apparently it is rather good... The game was developed for Nokia by Digital Legends, the same people who did the excellent fighting game ONE, and features exclusive new music created by Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) and Cindy Gomez. You can also use your own music if you prefer.

Nokia's latest first party title, Dance Fabulous, is a strange bear. It's clearly aimed at the casual games market, with a very good "pickup and just play through a song" feel. But if you want to do some hardcore gamer dancing with your Avatar, through the entire works of Johnny Cash, then Dance Fabulous also has stuff for you as well. Add in the admittedly tenuous connection of Nokia's Music Store and Nokia are hoping that their gaming efforts will drag customers to the Music Store and vice versa. It's a good approach that shows off S60 as a platform, and not just the next-gen N-Gage system. (click here to read on...)
