Let me start by saying that Everybody Dance is a late entry in the dance genre and has big shoes to fill. With top notch dance games like Dance Central taking the throne and the very popular Just Dance series already a well known franchise, is there room for Everybody Dance? The simple answer is absolutely.

With top notch dance games like Dance Central taking the throne and the very popular Just Dance series already a well known franchise, is there room for Everybody Dance? The simple answer is absolutely. If you're familiar with the Just Dance franchise then this installment should feel fairly familia r to you. You have one control that tracks your movements, (I'm not going to get into the whole "you don't even have to dance to score in this game" because odds are, if your buying a dance game and only moving one arm you have no business buying it in the first place.), an onscreen dancer to follow, and a fair mix of top 40 hits and older hits from decades ago. Compared to Just Dance 3, Everybody Dance has the better tracklist in my polling and research. And the included kareoke/singstar mode spices things up a bit from other dance games.
As said before game play is tracked through one motion wand in the right hand, and for the most part is pretty accurate. Moves are ranked in X, OK, Good, Awesome, and Flawless. There are moments that an X appears and you are unsure why and that can be frustrating. But those moments are pretty few and far between. This is a PARTY game and Everybody Dance really shines with its PARTY game mode. Up to 20 players can battle it out in head to head match ups. After each battle the game selects a highlight from the dance and that can be saved and uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, or the ED community. This provides for hours of fun. Literally. If you get a group of friends together that like these sort of games prepare to go into the night and sometimes early morning. I am giving this game an 8/10 because it simply COULD have been more. Using another motion controller, although can be expensive, SHOULD have been an option for a more realistic experience. Also, maybe better tracking through the camera as well, although, that may be a system limitation. All in all this game is the best dance option for PS3 users and is a MUST have for move party games.
