Introduction

 

Dance on Broadway allows you to be the stage superstar, and perform the best of Broadway musicals in your own living room. Originally released on the Wii in 2010, and now on the PS3 in 2011 with PlayStation Move support. Broadway fans can dance along to the game's track list of 25 songs from 20 different shows. The game has two modes a born-a-star mode, and a free-play mode. Born-a-star is a career mode where you will be dancing your way to stardom and have to face critics to satisfactory ratings to save your theater. The game supports up to two-players locally, and up to four Move controllers, two for each player for increased accuracy. Only one Move controller is required to play the game, however to 100% the game you will require two Move controllers because of a two-player trophy.

 

Overall, the game is straightforward where you will perform a series of dance moves as shown on the screen. You will not have to deal with Move button presses during songs, it's just pure dancing here! The game tracks your very own dance movement utilizing your PlayStation Move(s), and the PlayStation Eye. The difficulty modes in the game stems on how many moves you can perform accurately and getting as many stars as you can per song. Pro difficulty has the same move sets as casual, only that the game will rate you strictly on accuracy with less margin for error compared to casual difficulty.

Before you play:

If you have not played a dance game before on the Move, it is highly suggested you calibrate your PlayStation Move(s) magnetic sensor using the utility in the XMB. For instructions on how to do this, refer to this:

Always keep the great ratings up as much as possible to build score bonuses. This will help during some parts of the song where you might be having trouble getting flawless scores.

is it available in north america? does it have a plat?

 

Yeah, its available in North America in a limited capacity. You might even find a single copy at a local GameStop. Might want to call ahead though if they have one. This game seems to be more readily available in the EU region.

 

Unfortunately this is another retail title without a (P). The game isn't that long though so that is likely why Sony allowed a small-scale trophy set.

lol, found it for 5GBP and free shipping in europe, and thought I would look if it was worth purchasing or not, but no platinum is a game-breaker when the game probably is really bad.

 

EDIT: I came back today, because now it went for 3.99GBP, and that too is including shipping, but I still don't think it's worth it.

hah, not surprised to see you here xD

is there really a big difference between normal and hard difficulty?

i ask because of 15 extra stars. i dont wanna go through the game twice if not nesseccary tbh. altho its more fun than i expected

 

Not a whole lot, you are really given just a more limited range of accuracy. After the first few songs you'll get a feel whether you want to play on hard first or not. If you are familiar with other dance games, which I'm sure you are, you won't have a problem here :)

but tbh i have ...

 

1st 5*

3rd 5*

both on second try

but the others - yuck 3-4*

My main prob is: i dont see the "range" what they accept and what they dont - to me it seems kinda random

+ i have moves i think i do, but they never cound as "hit". its basically always the same move(s) im struggling with.

any advice on how to learn certain moves or parts of each song?

Ranges can seem random at-times on the first run. I just tried learning the pattern of what the game wants to see for those moves I was struggling with if I got higher ratings the next time through on the same move and sticking with that. Anticipating the next moves does help too, as I had to repeat several to get higher stars.
