THE BLACK EYED PEAS EXPERIENCE

Ubisoft
Xbox 360/Kinect (also on Wii)

We’ve got to admit it. Living in our indie kid bubble we were aware of The Black Eyed Peas, but had absolutely NFI how utterly huge they are. They make massive look teensy.

They are a tad pretentious though - disencapitalising names, bunging random full stops in them - and they call hipsters wanky! Still, if we had as much money as BEP we’d likely be able to do whatever the fuck we wanna with the English language too. Oh hang on, we already do-be-do-be-do.

Anyway, their catchier-than-cooties brand of hip-pop has racked up a crazy amount of awards; from worldwide sales charty ones to the statuesque ones you can jam on a shelf in your pool room. They also seem to have had more number ones than a fish with a urinary tract infection. Boom boom pow!

30 tracks, almost entirely from the Fergie years, feature in this game, which is a celebration of all things BEP that’s expressed predominantly via dance.
 
Leap into ‘Dance Party’ for a quick boogie and even grab a mic and sing along for extra pointy things. ‘Deluxe Experience’ is it for career-builders hoping to end up bouncing about the BEP stage – get coached on your moves then let loose in a choreographed procession of them. The aim is to gain followers, the more of which you have, the more bling you amass for your chosen customisable dancer avatartastical you thingy.

The Black Eyed Peas Experience looks the look and sounds the sounds, and is a total fangasm for those who worship at the smacked-around green veggies altar, but may be pining whilst the band does the hiatus thing. Erm, “thang”.

Meanwhile, if you’re wondering why a bloodnut ex-royal is in a hippety-poppety combo then this certainly ain’t gonna be your cup of tea...
