I bought this game at the suggestion of my daughter. She saw the commercial on TV and thought it would be fun - especially to learn all the "old" dances her Mom might know.
+5
As soon as we received it from Amazon, she immediately opened it and played. I have to admit that I was hesitant to try it out for fear of making a fool of myself. Luckily in the safety of my home, I could choose to dance in private. My daughter was immediately hooked and it was an obvious game to play at some upcoming parties we had planned.
For her 16th Birthday we had over 20 teens, both boys and girls in attendance. Watching 4 boys dance the "Mashed Potato", a song they probably have never heard was more than amusing. The girls were fans of "Girls just want to have fun" and a Spice Girls song. Of course videos were made and shared on all their social websites. In the end everyone had a great time, most asking the title of the game so they could purchase it too.
The next event was my sisters Bridal shower. At the end when many guests were just hanging out we decided to play. I never imagined I would get not only my sister and aunt to play, but my Mom too! Again we all laughed, video was taken (but not shared thankfully!) and again everyone wanted to know what game it was.
The fact that there are only 30 tracks is a bit disappointing, even with the Guitar Hero you averaged twice the songs. But I would expect they'll come out with additional versions of Just Dance and seeing how much we've enjoyed this one, I'm sure we'll buy again.

This Wii game is a lot of fun but you can't be self-conscious or you'll feel out of place doing it. There is a list of songs to choose from and two options for each song - short version and long version. As each song plays, it counts down to the start of the dancing at which time you are to start mirror imaging the person on the screen. The dancer on screen is a simplified faceless person taken from real video. I kind of wish they left the actual person there. As … more

Product: Just Dance for Nintendo Wii First off, this was my first experience with Nintendo Wii. I didn't realize it involved so much body movement. It's hard to sit down playing Nintendo Wii and I think that's was the creators of this video console intended. Lose weight with Nintendo Wii in TWO WEEKS! On to the game - Just Dance is a video game in which you earn points by mimicking dance movements and staying on the beat (very similar to an … more

The Wii Gaming System is a perfect alternative for rainy day exercise and sports simulation. When I saw "Just Dance" offered by UBI, I excitedly envisioned myself moving and grooving to a wide spectrum of music that would provide me with an alternative exercise option. Unfortunately, after playing this game for over an hour, I found that the limited playlist cut the action for me. Instead of moving from song to song, I found myself surfing for something that moved me to dance. … more

Pros: Fun, good song mix, funny characters, real dance moves, solo or challenge, simple rules Cons: Only 30 songs, graphics aren't great, scoring is iffy, doesn't save stats The Bottom Line: Just Dance for Nintendo Wii is so simple to plat that it's great for kids on up. A good song mix and some great dance moves override its flaws. I love dance DVDs and find that I get a great cardio workout when I do them. Since … more
