The Just Dance franchise continues to strike gold: this game follows along in the tradition now of good, fun family games, but this version does have some negatives. Note especially that this game is made up of downloadable content from Just Dance 2, so you don't necessarily have to go out and buy this as a whole set, simply select the songs you'd like online. However, if you want a hard copy backup of these tracks, this is a good idea. All in all, as I see it, this game can be broken down as follows:

PROS:

-FUN: There is no doubt that this game, like all others in the franchise, is fun. It's a great way to get members of your family dancing together, having fun, and exercising at the same time. Song selection, as always, has something for everyone, so every member of your family will enjoy some aspect of this game.

-COORDINATION: The coordination of the game with the Wii Remote is as with Just Dance 2. That is, this is a very good game in that the movements you make with your Wii remote are very accurately picked up by the Wii sensors.

-HARD COPY: The benefit in buying this as opposed to online, of course, is that you have a hard copy should your hard-drive crash.


CONS:

-EXPANSION PACK SIZE: As an expansion pack essentially (you don't need any other version to make this work, however), it only has a fraction of the games present in an original "Just Dance" game. The tracks are listed above however. They are fun, and this game is priced reasonably enough considering the track size, so don't hesitate to buy it if you are looking to increase the number of tracks you possess.

I love the fact that just when you get so good at a Just Dance game you can't beat your own top scores; they come out with another Just Dance. I agree that there are not as many songs as on Just Dance and Just Dance 2 but it is $10 cheaper than when the other Just Dance games were new releases. I must say I do not like the songs as much because there are more modern songs and way less 70's and 80's songs plus I like to do a fast paced work out with 4-5 songs and on the other Just Dance games there are several fast (and longer like 4+ minutes each) songs to choose from for your work out but this is a plus for teens as there are more songs they know. Also, you can change your dancers name but you have to wait until a dance starts then put your arrow over your dancers score/name (where it lists your score during a dance) and hit the select (middle button) and it will take you to a place to create your name. It is true though that this is NOT EXPLAINED ANYWHERE in the directions so I can see why other users "think" you can not change it. This game has less song selection but is a great bridge in the time gap between summer and the release of Just Dance 3 in October. I will be purchasing every Just Dance game because although there are pros and cons I still think they are the best dance games out there.

The thing that I think is a bit funner about this version is that the dancers are more character based and there are some really fun songs like here comes the hot stepper with rabbids and a farmer, funky town with a frog, professor pumplestickle with a magician and a pumpkin, plus many more.....

We rented this title and will likely buy it soon. It is a hit with the whole family just like the other Just Dance games. I am disappointed that it only has about half the number of songs that other Just Dance titles have. It seems like the price should be closer to half! Also, some of the songs, i.e. Barbie Girl and Mambo No. 5, have some inappropriate lyrics for younger kids. That's too bad since my 5 yr old LOVES the Just Dance games.

was purchased for my 12 year old daughter
for Christmas she loves it lots of fun
Would purchase this for anyone who loves
to dance.

I RECOMMEND THIS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN I GAVE IT TO MY GRANDAUGHTR AND SHE AND HER BROTHER REALLY ENJOY MUCH BETTER THAN VIOLENT GAMES OTHER YOUNG ADULTS SEEM TO ENJOY

When people come over. We require our guest to play this game. This makes for a fun evening. Even for my nephews who at first complain about the game not being cool like Modern Warfare 3.

I acutally thought i was buying her Just Dance 3. OOPS But her friend came over for the holidays and they played for hrs and days in a row! It's a great workout also. Has some really funny characters doing some of the dances which had my husband and I along with the girls rolling! Definitely for a teenage girl who loves to dance,cheer, do flips.

Although this game doesn't have a ton of songs it still has some great ones that aren't on any of the other Just Dance games. It's a great addition to our dance collection!! Perfect for the whole family. :-)

Good song selection. Fun to compete with your friends and family! Hoping they come out with more to enjoy playing.
