MC Groove Dance Craze
_MC Groovz Dance Craze_ is the first Dance Dance Revolution-style dancing
game for the GameCube, designed for publisher Mad Catz’ dance mat controller.
The game includes 28 licensed dance tracks, ranging from 70s funk and disco to
modern hip hop, pop and electro. Game modes include single-player “Just Dance”
(for high score) and “Dance Workout” (with a calorie instead of a score
counter) and two-player “Dance Together” (cooperative) and “Dance FaceOff”
(competitive).
The game includes two different gameplay styles: “Scroll” follows the DDR
model of vertically-scrolling arrows representing steps to be made on the mat
(or buttons to be pressed on the controller) once they reach a line on the
screen in rhythm with the music. “Spin” shows the arrows emerging from the
center of the screen moving in the four compass directions instead. The
background in both consists of a psychedelic color display. Three difficulty
modes are available and high scores can be saved to memory card.
