Chalgyr's Game Room writes: Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, and Rock Band completely changed the definition of music games. While hardware-based gameplay was always around in arcades, folks at home were having fantastical experiences with releases like Vib Ribbon, PaRappa the Rapper, and Amplitude. Once cheap peripheral facsimiles of real instruments hit the market, music games became a way of living out rockstar fantasies. But those types of games had a finite ceiling that they inevitably hit, and as our closets have filled with dust caked plastic instruments, developers are looking at new ways to reinvigorate the genre. Just look at Harmonix with their successful Kickstarter for an Amplitude sequel. Throwing their hat into the fray with an Early Access title on Steam is the aptly named Timbre Interactive, and their freshman release Sentris.

Gamespot: "If the two Rock Band sequels were products of a rhythm game arms race, each installment growing heavier with added features and increased track counts, then Dance Central Spotlight is a move in the opposite direction. Here, Harmonix has pared its stylish Kinect dancing franchise down to its most essential elements, ditching the time-traveling story mode of Dance Central 3 in favor of a renewed focus on the dance routines that sit at the very heart of the game. But it's slimmed down in other ways, too, with a $10 core game serving as the gateway to a musical storefront brimming with reasonably priced songs to build out your own customized library. What's left is a lean but immensely enjoyable dancing game, one that goes out of its way to remove the barriers between you and shaking it on the dance floor."
