Michael Jackson is proud to launch, in conjunction with the new international release King Of Pop, a brand new flash-based game that allows users to control Michael Jackson's dance moves as they aim to keep up with the steps during his tracks in a dance-mat style routine. Hand-and-eye co-ordination is the key to the game as arrows directs users to try and build up the biggest combo they can and see the King of Pop break out the trademark moves he made a worldwide phenomenon.

Prizes will be awarded for the highest hourly and daily scores, exclusive ringtones for hourly winners, and limited edition iPod Nanos for the daily winners. The overall top 5 scorers from each social network will then move on to a secret extra level. This level will pit the players against each other as they aim to be the lucky recipient of two round the world plane tickets (for players aged 18 and over), or a Sony Bravia 32" TV and a Playstation 3 (for players aged under 18).

You can play a beta version of the game right now at

Put down the tabloids. Turn off the TV. Allow us to re-introduce you to, arguably, the greatest pop star ever. From the moment Michael Jackson first made contact with the stage--a pint-sized, fully formed human dynamo--he lit it up with 100,000 watts of pure star power...and we haven't been able to take our eyes (or ears) off him since. Even before he stepped out on his own, he'd already sold 100 million records with the Jackson 5. But, oh, when he stepped, it was a moonwalk into magnificence. With the transcendent trifecta of Off the Wall, Thriller (the biggest album of all time), and Bad, Jackson became a master of reinvention, his every move making everything that came before totally irrelevant. About those moves...the youngest singer ever to top the pop charts; broke MTV's unspoken color barrier; sold 750 million records. How? Why? Because Michael Jackson sounded like nobody else: with a sequin-spangled mash-up of rock, R&B, and dance, he united AM and FM, black and white, yesterday and tomorrow--single-glovedly touching the hearts and shaking the hips of planet Earth. Forty years from when it all began, it's that sound that compels us, once again, to be moved by the music behind the man. Welcome to the World of Michael Jackson.
