Kinect Star Wars release date announced

Galactic Dance-Off Mode, anyone?

Kinect Star Wars makes its way onto shelves from 3rd April, Microsoft has confirmed.

The previously announced limited edition Star Wars Xbox 360 console bundle arrives on the same day, priced at £349.99, including the game and a Kinect unit.

Developed by Ghostbusters: The Videogame studio Terminal Reality, the game features five separate modes: Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising, Podracing, Rancor Rampage, Duels of Fate and Galactic Dance-Off.

Yes, you read that right - Galactic Dance-Off. According to the announcement blurb, the game is "loaded with Star Wars-themed pop tunes where those still honing their Jedi skills can take a break to battle Darth Vader on the dance floor or bust a move 'Solo style'."

Take that, treasured childhood memories.
