Just Dance 2 is a sequel to Ubisoft’s incredibly successful and popular game called Just Dance. As its name suggests, all you need to do to play the game is, well – Just dance! The mechanics is pretty easy. With over 40 song choices, you begin by clicking on the song, which you feel you will be able to dance, whether or not you will be good at it. Then, with your wiimote, just follow the steps of the dancers on the screen and you’re good to go.
The all new just dance two offers several dance modes. You can choose to have a classic mode, which is simple, basic dancing. Then, if you want to dance with a partner, you can opt for a duet, the medley mode, if you want to dance in a series of 5 songs, team battle mode if you want a dance off and finally the race mode, if you want to compete with other players on who gets to fill the score meter first. All these new features make Just Dance 2 a fun and quite challenging game that you can play with your friends and family.
The Good
Just Dance 2’s cool new features will definitely send any wii3 enthusiast into overdrive. The newly transformed game flaunts better visual designs, new modes, more outrageous dance routines plus a song selection that caters to the interests of people in all ages from songs for 10-year old girls such as Girlfriend, to those who are ten at heart such as Toxic and When I grow up and song choices like Viva Las Vegas to those who were ten a long time ago. These songs will definitely make grandchildren, parents, and even grandparents sweat through the different dance routines. Perhaps its popularity is brought by its incredible versatility, even bad dancers get the chance to be a star with Just Dance 2. Anyone of any age, as long as you have a knack of having a great time, this game is for you!
The Bad
As exciting as the game is, the only problem that can be found is the absence of unlockable content. Most games offer the opportunity to gain levels, which improves the game overall. Just Dance 2 does not offer the chance to progress to or reach higher levels with time. Without something to look forward to, the game over time can become rather boring and kind-of routine. Overall, regardless of the absence of career progression, the old and/or the young will certainly have loads of fun in playing the game.
Just Dance 2 makes the original game look half-cooked and even with its runaway success, the original now becomes somewhat less appealing. Just dance 2 takes the core of Just Dance into a more exciting and a more hilariously entertaining experience. And the best thing about Just Dance 2 is that it gives people the chance to have loads of fun while exercising and making their body much healthier. Ubisoft has not issued a statement as to whether the game will be available on Nintendo’s much anticipated new console. Perhaps Ubisoft will hear our pleas for unlockables if they plan to release a version for Wii2.
