Ubisoft first announced a Michael Jackson game back at E3 of this year, though at the time the company would only say that it would be a multiplatform game. Now we have the first details on the Xbox 360 iteration, courtesy of a fact sheet sent out by Ubisoft. Called Michael Jackson: The Experience, the game will use Kinect and is due out on November 18, shortly after the launch of the motion sensing camera for Xbox 360.
Michael Jackson: The Experience pulls in songs from MJ's catalog, with Beat It and Billie Jean, Bad, Earth Song, The Girl Is Mine, Who Is It, and Workin' Day And Night already mentioned as being included. It will also include his signature dance moves, testing the players' ability to sing and dance. The fact sheet says that you'll play on sets inspired by his music videos and stage performances, and even mentions that the game "includes real-time audio enhancers" to improve the sound of your voice.
And for those that can't dance that well, it will also include a tutorial mode called Michael Jackson School to get you into the groove.
We'll have more on Michael Jackson: The Experience shortly. For now, head through to the media gallery for the first images.
