Acclaim, the game company running DANCE! Online in North America has announced that Paris Hilton and The Ramones are joining the mix of artists for the game's song collection, adding more star power to the already solid mix. Particular tracks have not been specified, but they're guaranteed to be revealed in further announcements.

DANCE! Online is the North American counterpart of the Chinese online dance game Super Dancer Online. The title features a game very similar to the classic Dance Dance Revolution series which can be played via keyboard or dance pad.

DANCE! Online is currently in open Beta form and can be downloaded for free and tested at home. The game will have an online store which will vend items that will allow you to customize characters with an insane amount of shirts, hairstyles, clothes and other things that will make your character unique.

Seasoned dancing game veterans who are out for new challenges will find the twists in Super Star mode, River Notes mode and Reverse Notes mode very exciting. These modes will have everyone shaking their tail feathers like never before.

According to IGN, some 350,000 individual users ave signed up for the DANCE! Online Beta and are already testing the dance floor. If you like dancing and competing with people online, get DANCE! Online now and tell us what you think.

Acclaim Games recently showed their moves on the dance floor, err, MMO block, by launching their latest online game DANCE! Online. Bound to be your little tween sister's new best friend, DANCE! Online is a free-to-play MMO dancing game and it will feature top talent and recordings from the Warner Music Group.

According to Howard Marks, "this is by far the closest collaboration any major music label has ever had with an online game". With artists like Paris Hilton and Ashley Tisdale among many others on the Warner recording stable, we bet a lot of people would have fun with this game.

Anyhow, the U.S. open beta for DANCE! Online will be starting this week. Atlantic Records' recording artist Cupid will make a personal virtual appearance in the game. Other artist-related announcements will follow where they will create their own avatar and play the game live online and chat with fans.

The game will feature the artists' latest music and personalized virtual items including artist-branded clothing and accessories. Players can compete to win autographed merchandise and other artist-branded products. Players could use either their keyboards or PC-compatible dance pads for their character to rule the dance floor.

Acclaim Games is proud to announce that they've reached a new milestone in their MMO career: they've garnered over one million registered users in just a little over a year after being reborn as a free-to-play publisher!

Acclaim currently has five online games: BOTS!!, 9Dragons, 2Moons, DANCE! Online, and one yet unnamed top secret MMO title that'll reportedly revolutionize the way MMO games are developed. How? By giving players a chance to actively participate in the devving process. The company will then announce one lucky winner who'll get to direct their own game funded by Acclaim. Cool, huh?

Howard Marks, Acclaim Games' CEO, sends his gratis to all the users who have helped them reach this major milestone. Oh, and news also reached our ears that the open beta for DANCE! Online and 2Moons will be announced by the company real soon so make sure you keep an eye (and ear) out for that.

Swing it, shake it , move it, make it, who do you think you are? The Spice Girls didn't know jack about dancing, and how confident are you that you can really bust a groove? It's your turn to take the stage and prove that you can really burn the house down. (Burn, baby! Burn!)

Of course, Acclaim Games' DANCE! Online isn't just going to be all about dancing because although it is quite a novel factor in a game, it's still, believe it or not, an MMORPG. Yeah, think of the Draenei dancing their way to the top against other players.

You have to keep in sync with the beat and perfect your dance skills that will encompass a full range of different styles - from smooth ballroom to hardcore breakdancing.

More so, why not try it yourself? Acclaim Games just launched the Closed Beta Test program. All you've got to do is waltz over to the official website (check the "Read" link below) and register. Registry and getting to play the game is absolutely free, but note that slots for the Beta tests are limited. Shake and bake, baby!
