Dance Central 2 will feature simultaneous multiplayer, according to Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference. Simultaneous multiplayer was one of the features that was really missing from Dance Central, so fans of the Kinect dancing game should be thrilled. In Dance Central 2’s Perform It mode you’ll be able to play together or head to head with friends. The new multiplayer will also allow drop in/drop out functionality so the party never has to stop.

You will also be able to transfer your entire library of songs from Dance Central to Dance Central 2, which makes the sequel feature the largest library ever for a dancing video game. Dance Central 2 will also feature voice recognition, a campaign mode, new venues, dance crews, and a renovated Break It Down mode. Some of the songs from Dance Central 2’s new soundtrack were also unveiled. You’ll find the full list after the break.

Rihanna – “Rude Boy”
Nicki Minaj – “Massive Attack”
Montell Jordan – “This Is How We Do It”
La Roux – “Bulletproof”
Far East Movement – “Like a G6”
B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars – “Nothin’ on You”
Bananarama – “Venus”
Usher – “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love”

Dance Central 2 will be coming out exclusively for the Xbox 360. We’ll have more Dance Central 2 details during our extensive E3 coverage.
