Play Michael Jackson - The Experience (E) Online

Michael Jackson The Experience on the Nintendo DS came out in 2010, published by Ubisoft. It was part of that wave of rhythm games that really leaned into touch controls, especially on the DS where the stylus was your main instrument. It fit right in with the portable gaming vibe of the time, offering a quick way to engage with music without needing a lot of space or extra peripherals.

You control a dancer on the bottom screen, following choreography cues by tapping, swiping, and holding circles in time with classic Michael Jackson songs. The main goal is to hit the moves accurately to build up your score and keep the performance going. Signature mechanics include tracing precise paths with the stylus, like mimicking the famous lean in Smooth Criminal, and tapping sequences of notes that scroll toward you. The pacing is generally upbeat, matching the energy of the tracks, though the difficulty can spike noticeably on higher settings. It feels surprisingly physical and engaging for a game played entirely with a stylus.
