This was just posted at TMZ... it sounds like fun! I would LOVE to learn to move like Michael!
New Michael Jackson Video Game for Xmas Originally posted Jun 14th 2010 5:30 PM PDT by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson is still on the cutting edge of technology -- TMZ has learned the King of Pop is set to star in a new revolutionary video game ... and the people in charge of MJ's estate are totally on board.
The game -- currently untitled -- will essentially be "dance karaoke" ... which means gamers will see Michael Jackson dancing on screen and will then be challenged to imitate his moves.
The game will be available on multiple platforms including Wii and Xbox 360. The Xbox version will incorporate Microsoft's new Kinect motion capture technology -- which will allow the gamer to play without holding a controller.
Also in the Xbox version, the gamer will be judged based on full body movements. The game will process the movements and display the gamer's avatar on screen ... dancing right next to MJ.
And there's more -- the game also includes a karaoke feature, in which gamers can sing MJ songs like "Billie Jean" ... and even mess around with their voice thanks to an autotune feature.
The game is being developed by Ubisoft -- the same people behind Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon -- and we're told Ubisoft properly secured permission from the MJ estate ... so it's all legit.
The game is scheduled to hit shelves sometime before Christmas.

For anyone else, I send daily updates so please follow me - mjsarmy1 About Murray, the judge was not able to overturn a previous judge's ruling to allow him to keep his medical license The next hearing for his license is on Aug. 23rd where it will then be decided. We all hope he LOSES IT! Please feel free to post anytime! Mal

Here's some more info on Wii's The Michael Jackson Experience showing 3 videos - Smooth Criminal, Black & White and the Billie Jean trailer! wii.ign.com/articles/111/1119725p1.htmlGamers itching to do the moonwalk in their living rooms will have to wait a little while longer. Ubisoft confirmed to IGN this morning both the Move and Kinect versions of Michael Jackson The Experience will now ship in early 2011. The publisher said this move was done in part to allow its developers more time to polish the games. "We're giving our teams more time to develop the Kinect and Move versions to ensure we deliver awesome experiences that take full advantage of the new technologies," a representative said. Ubisoft did say, however, the Wii, DS and PSP versions of the game are still planned for this year and will ship on Nov. 23 in North America and Nov. 25 in Europe, Middle East and Asia. Can't wait!! I have a Wii and I will be buying this!! Not that I can dance like Michael, but I'll be having FUN trying!! ;D Jacque
