A great game for fun and exercise By Nutwiisystem.Com I admit, I wasn’t expecting much when I first heard about Just Dance a few months ago. I figured it’d be just like another one of those games like Dancing with the Stars and High School Musical where you see characters on screen dancing, but all you’re doing is waving your remote to match the visual cues on the screen. Ho Hum.
The first thing that struck me when I popped the game into the Wii was that these were fun songs from every era. They’re all family-friendly, and there’s something in the track list for everyone, from baby boomers to Gen X’ers to Gen Y’ers. Here’s the entire track list. Most of the songs are not covers, but original tracks from the original singers.
Girl Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper Ring My Bell – Anita Ward A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Edit Remix) – Elvis vs. JXL Cotton Eye Joe – Rednex Surfin’ Bird – The Trashmen Heart of Glass – Blondie Womanizer – The Gym All-Stars Groove Is in the Heart – Deee-Lite Jerk It Out – Caesars I Live to Move It (Radio Mix) – Reel 2 Real feat. The Mad Stuntman Not N Cold (Chick Version) – Katy Perry Mashed Potato Time – Dee Dee Sharp Girls and Boys – Blur Fame – In the style of Irene Cara Lump – The Presidents of the United States of America Kids in America – Kim Wilde Pump Up the Jam – Technotronic I Get Around – The Beach Boys Le Freak – Chic That’s the Way (I Like It) – KC and the Sunshine Band Louie Louie – Iggy Pop Funplex (CSS Remix) – The B-52s Jin Go Lo Ba – Fatboy Slim DARE – Gorillaz Bebe – Divine Brown Eye of the Tiger – Survivor Can’t Get You Out of My Head – Kylie Minogue Acceptable in the 80s – Calvin Harris Who Let the Dogs Out – Baha Men Wanna Be – Spice Girls Step By Step – New Kids on the Block U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer
The second thing that impressed me was that this game features actual dance moves to the songs. In other words, not only are you playing the game, you’re learning actual dance steps. You’ll learn the “Mashed Potato” that was all the rage in the 1960′s to Dee Dee Sharp’s “Mashed Potato Time”. You’ll learn the best disco moves of the 70′s with songs like “That’s the Way I Like It”. And my personal dream come true–you can dance like MC Hammer with “U Can’t Touch This”.
For the controller, they went for a decidedly simpler approach, and they hit a home run. For using one Wii remote, the controls are remarkably accurate as far as detecting whether you’re dancing correctly or not. For each move, you’ll be given a grade of “Great”, “Okay” and “X”. Now, I won’t lie and say the controls are the most precise in the world. There’ll be plenty of times you’ll be doing the moves precisely, but the Wii will tell you you’re not. But where this game triumphs is that even though the controls may be off, the game is so fun that you really don’t care.
And you also find that the more you practice the moves and “feel the music”, the better your scores become. If you’ve gotten to the point where you’ve memorized the dance and are just doing the moves to the music, your score will be great.
The game is simple. You choose a song, and then after a countdown from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, you’ll see a silhouetted character on your screen doing the dance moves. The character is generally dressed appropriately for the song: a disco dude will lead you through “That’s the Way I Like It”, a cowgirl will do a two-step to “Cotton Eye Joe”, and a dog (yes, a dog) will dance to “Who Let the Dogs Out”. You basically just have to do the mirror image of the character’s moves.
They also have multiplayer games. In the first game (Challenge), you can basically have a dance-off between you and up to three other friends to see who’ll get the high score. Again, you don’t mind in this case if the controls are not completely precise because you’re all on the same playing field. In the second game (Strike a Pose), it’s like a game of Red Light / Green Light where you have to freeze in your tracks when the music stops. The third game (Last one standing) is an elimination game where the person who makes the least mistakes wins the game.
As fpr the exercise value, with virtually every song, I ended it panting because I was out of breath, and even though I was out of breath I wanted to try it again and again until I got it right. To me, that’s the sign of a great exercise game.

Pure Group Fun By Sintillator Bought this game for the kids based on the commercial showing all the activity and the songs. Told my wife we had to try it out first and she balked because it was late, after the kids were in bed. I nagged she gave in I lasted 3 songs she danced every song until 2 in the morning. She had so much fun the game never made it under the Xmas tree. The next day the whole family had a blast. That night friends came over and danced for 3 hours. I’m taking it to the company Xmas party.
Pros – It’s fun, fun, fun. The best family or group game since Wii Sport Bowling. It doesn’t take a huge amount of skill or even rhythm. It’s for the very young, anyone who can get up and boogie or simply the young at heart. If you try to play the game as intended you will get one heck of a total aerobic workout especially the smile muscles.
Cons – Primarily it’s just that there is only 30 songs and surprisingly it’s not enough, the developers should or had to have known they needed more (so that’s the 1 star deduction.) It isn’t for hard core gamers who are driven to be able to conquer a stage, solve a puzzle, revel in a high score or master a total game. They simply won’t get it at all. The scoring is not spot on for the competition minded. I imagine if you wanted to cheat and just move the wiimote you could bypass the fun all together. May be to much exercise for those with physical impairments.

It’s just fun, whether or not you’re good at scoring points By Mister B While the game play mimics Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution style games, one thing sets this game apart: if you’re not good at matching the dance moves, the song (and the game) keep going. You don’t get interrupted, or have the song get cut short because you miss a certain number of moves.
What that means to players: you can play any of the songs, regardless of difficulty or effort rating, and make it through the entire song. You also get to choose abbreviated or full-length versions of the song.
While other games claim to be great at giving you a cardiac workout, this will *really does*. Songs are rated on difficulty and effort. Difficulty relates to the complexity of the dance moves, while effort is how fast you’ll be moving. There is a nice combination of songs with low difficulty/high effort, and vice-versa.
Also you have up to 4 players at a time, and anyone can join the song mid-stream.
