Dancing with the Stars on your Mobile Phone?
Forget the idea of websurfing on your phone – that’s so last millenium. No, THQ is a company that has launched “Dancing with the Stars” for online download and mobile phones.
Choose Wisely, Dance Wildly
Apparently the game is something along the lines of you picking out your celebrity, your costumes, and then dancing before virtual judges for a simulated eight-week competition. I would imagine that the higher your score, the more costumes become available, and perhaps it runs like several popular snow- & skateboarding games where you get new moves available the better you do.

The problem I see is one of variety – sure, they can have multiple moves randomly sequenced together for the characters, but unless they have some really neat motion-capture being done backstage, it’s going to be kind of monotonous. Not nearly as exciting as the real thing, but perhaps it’s more of a panacea. Something to keep the true DWTS addicts going in between episodes or (sob!) seasons.
Me, I’m skipping Windows Mobile and jonesing for my iPhone with YouTube capacity…so that I can watch the real thing whenever I want.
If there’s any readers out there with Windows Mobile platform, please let me know how this plays out…
