Michael Jackson Motion-Sensing Game Lets Fans Moonwalk

Michael Jackson may be dead, but your killer moonwalk doesn't have to be.

At E3 yesterday, Ubisoft, the makers of 'Just Dance,' announced its latest creation: an "interactive, performance-based" game featuring none other than the King of Pop. As DailyCaller reports, the still-unnamed game will be among the first to feature the Kinect and Move motion-sensing camera systems for XBox 360 and PlayStation 3. Ubisoft didn't give much in the way of details during its presentation. A group of professional dancers, though, did take the stage to perform a routine to 'Beat It.' And although it's unclear what other MJ tunes will be featured on the game, 'Billie Jean' and other classics will definitely be on the playlist.

Rumors of a Jackson video game first began circulating last year, and many expected the project to feature recent voice recordings of the late legend. As of now, though, it's not certain whether or not Ubisoft's forthcoming game is related to those rumors, or if it's another MJ endeavor altogether. But if there's any company that knows how to put together a wildly successful dance game, it's Ubisoft. And if there's anyone willing to drunkenly embarrass themselves in front of said game, it's us.
