The latest game for the XBOX Kinect is Fantasia: Music Evolved, and it is set to be the next big dance game for game consoles.

Inspired by [Disney’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-dreamlight-valley) 40s classic Fantasia, the Fantasia game takes the concept of the wizardly power of control and applies it to music beats. Players get a chance to command the tempo, harmony and speed of hit songs by Bruno Mars, Fun and Avicii. Each of the game world themes are inspired by the classic Disney Fantasia wizard, Yen Sid. With the XBOX Kinect technology, users will gain points based on their song edits.

The promotional video for Fantasia: Music Evolved shows users dancing and moving bolts of colored sound waves around as they play with their favorite songs. This Fantasia game is a great new twist on the traditional dance video games and is available for either [XBOX 360](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperkin) or [XBOX One](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jojo-siwa).
