Dress to Express Dancing Success

Not all video games are designed to be thought-provoking and revolutionary, since some of them are purely made to brighten your day or give you something fun to do with your time. Hence, it’s not fair to compare casual games with triple-A productions, at least not all the time. Some developers prefer to let their imagination on the loose and create something that disregards every rule in the book.

Dress to Express Dancing Success is a pretty weird game from the first few seconds of gameplay, and even before that when you watch the intro sequence. To summarize, it’s basically a dancing simulator with QWOP-like gameplay mechanics, plus a dash of dating sim to spice things up. Naturally, it’s all in the name of fun, because this is not the kind of game that keeps you glued to the screen for hours on end.

You start by watching the main character go to the club by himself in order to have some fun, which is when the action starts. Thus, it’s possible to start a conversation with a handful of people around the club and buy them drinks. It’s not the lengthy kind of dialog that branches into many possible outcomes, but it’s still fun to see how your character interacts with other people.

If you manage to impress your potential date, you can go to the dance floor and start dancing in order to impress him even further. The mechanics are very funny and intuitive, and the resulting dance moves are just as hilarious. Hence, you only have to click on various body parts in order to watch them rotate, gyrate or simply shake. After a while you might even end up with something kind of cool.

The graphics are about as colorful as they can be, which is especially true when it comes to the clothes everyone wears. This helps to create an engaging atmosphere, or even bring back a few memories from the disco era. As for the music, it definitely goes well with the game’s theme, but don’t expect anything too exciting either.

In the end, Dress to Express Dancing Success has one major advantage, which is that it makes you laugh. Hence, it’s the perfect antidote after a bad day, especially since it’s over in just a few minutes and you don’t have to worry about losing.
