The group Danny Elfman is a definite highlight.Īll dances are performed against a themed backdrop that reflects the song you chose. There’s even a How I Met Your Mother reference in the form of a Robin Sparkles track! Now I’ve seen everything. The inclusion of Lenny Kravitz and a song from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack also cements the set-list as one of the most eclectic in any music game. No one can resist dancing to A-ha, and that’s a fact. There’s plenty of modern hits, but a few surprises crept in that really helped even an old soul like myself get into the proverbial swing of things. The tracks offer solo, duet and group choreography types, and the songs cover a wide array of styles. Though the game is set up so that even the least musically knowledgeable of us can flail our limbs randomly, the likelihood is that you’ll know at least some of the songs on offer. This is a game designed for cheap thrills, but it delivers them fairly well provided you play by the rules. It would be all too easy to rack up points just by waggling the wiimote randomly, but such in depth analysis sullies the spirit of Just Dance. The basic mechanics are accessible enough for anyone to get into, though I’m still questioning exactly how accurate the motion detection truly is. Just Dance winds up doing what it says on the tin, successfully allowing people to get involved with a mild degree of success without prior knowledge of the track. Whilst dance enthusiasts may see this as a criticism, for the slightly inebriated party gamer, it is actually a positive.
An element of this is how repetitive and basic some of the choreography is. JD3 is surprisingly good at informing you of what’s coming next however, rather unlike the myriad complexities of Xbox 360 competitor Dance Central. My usual problem with this particular genre is the inability to fully understand a complex dance routine on your first attempt at a particular track, a problem not shared with more simple button based rhythm action games. You follow various diagrams and an on-screen performer to mimic the set dance routines, with points being awarded for accurate movements. Just Dance 3, as the name implies, has you waggling your Wii remote around in a manner that unacquainted individuals may believe is dancing. With easy to follow routines, Just Dance 3 does what it says on the tin.
