Michael Jackson The Experience HD

Some songs like "Smooth Criminal," "Beat It," and "Blood on the Dance Floor" contain mild references to blood and violence.

Some may find some of Jackson's signature moves too suggestive, especially for those who aren't familiar with his overall dance style. Some female dancers in the background of some song scenes are both dressed and dance suggestively. Some lyrics make references to mature themes ("Billie Jean is not my lover"), but nothing explicit.

Parents need to know that Michael Jackson The Experience HD is a game that challenges players to dance (with their on-screen fingers) like Michael through a touch-and-tap rhythm game. The music and graphics here are high quality and include some altered footage from his actual music videos. There are several opportunities to make in-app purchases; parents can disable these purchases in their device's settings. The game itself is not all that easy to get the hang of and, unless your younger kid is a huge Michael Jackson fan or really into dance, the learning curve may be too steep to hold attention for long enough to master and progress forward. But for teens and Michael Jackson fans, this is an interesting app to behold. Users can share high scores via the Game Center social network, but participation is optional.
