"Michael Jackson: The Game," Ubisoft's new dance and music-based game leveraging the likeness of the late King of Pop, will henceforth be called "Michael Jackson: The Experience." In a move that actually makes the game's title more abstract than it was during its un-finalized placeholder days at E3, Ubisoft has opted to eschew pigeonholing of their MJ project by not limiting its title to the realm of mere games. They have, however, given "The Experience" a specific release month.
Ubisoft will ship their new MJ releases for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Xbox 360 starting in November, according to a report on Eurogamer. Additionally, Move, Wii MotionPlus and Kinect technologies will be used for their respective consoles, as will microphones for a singing mode in the PS3 version.
In all fairness though, this game could have had a less informative title. Ubi could have named it "Michael Jackson: The Concept" or "Michael Jackson: The Essence," for instance. Both of those would have been steps further back from "The Game" than "The Experience," which at least implies what the user is intended to do with it.
