First Michael Jackson: The Experience trailer demonstrates how you will (not) play
Ubisoft’s put out a trailer for the Wii version of Michael Jackson: The Experience, and while it does technically demonstrate what playing the game will entail, it does so in a way we can’t quite see ourselves replicating.
