Fans of Michael Jackson will be able to recreate the star's famous dance moves in a new video game.

The multi-platform game, entitled Michael Jackson: The Experience, was developed before the star's sudden death last year.

It is set to utilise new motion technology on the Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, which captures gamers movements.

As previously reported, some of Jackson's biggest hits, including 'Beat It' and 'Billie Jean', will be included.

The Xbox version will utilise the forthcoming Kinect software, which projects an image of the player onto the screen.

Ubisoft's Tony Key said: "Your goal is to dance like Michael. Do what the guy on the screen is doing and you're there.

“It'll score you based on the quality of your performance."

Michael Jackson: The Experience will also be available on Nintendo DS and Playstation PSP when it is released in November.

Jackson, who died last June, also appeared in the 1989 video game Moonwalker.
