Dance Central calories?

Anyone else play dance central 3 and feel that the calorie count is off? It usually tracks me as burning 180 for about 60 min of play (doing fast paced songs). That seems really low for how intense it feels. I usually assume that calorie burn counts are way too high, but I'd burn more than 180 walking for an hour and this feels a hell of a lot more intense than walking.

My usual cardio workout is running intervals on a full inclined treadmill, and I can burn more that 200 in less than 15 minutes doing that (after adjusting treadmill's gross calories count to net calories), though lately my ankle has been bugging me, so I've backed off a bit.

    Hi:
    I prefer to use a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to calculate my cardio burned calories. I found both MFP and the machines inaccurate. I use Polar FT7.
    I used it last winter to calculate my burned calories while shoveling snow for 25 minutes.
    I hope it helps
