    Why are they selling me a stream service when i bought a game. Ubisoft is pissing me off! They are trying to be Netflix or Shomi or whatever streaming service you actually like.

    For the first time, my family and I stay at home a saturday night to have fun playing videogames. I bought a PS Camera exclusively for Just Dance 2016. We ordered pizza, get the beer and soda cold, put the furnitures away and play the first song… about 3 hours after we’ve played a lot of songs, including Just Dance Unlimited service — which I needed to buy separately, even I've purchased the Gold Edition.

    In our opinion the game can be very fun. BUT it has a lot of little issues that makes it an average product. My general impressions is that the game game is not finished. And here are the reasons:

    1) There is no “setup option”. I needed to go to Playroom in order to set the camera properly. Not even a way to see what is capturing (actually some songs show you with a frame, but that is not enough).

    2) The game only recognizes 1 id. That means only one psn id will got trophies. Besides, while you can create others players, I wasn’t able to select them to play. We needed to get used to “Funky”, “Jazzy” and “Crazy” characters.

    3) I can’t figure it out why Ubisoft let new players to be added in the midst of the song. Why? Why?

    4) The capture of the moves are so inaccurate! I confess I got shocked how inaccurate it is. You may be on the sofa, drinking your beer and still the game grants you “Ok”, “Good” moves…

    Conclusion: The game as software is mediocre, but it can offer a fun in a saturday night with friends and family.    … Expand

    A good line-up of songs but serious issues. I can't believe they have not improved the camera support. It really is no better than JD2014, with my kids frequently giving up from starting a game as it did not pick them up.

    When it does start the scoring is a waste of time, regularly giving perfect when your just standing there, and just created arguments when it seemed to flip them over or suddenly dropped them.

    The frustrating part is you can see them perfectly in the silhouette, so the camera is picking them up.

    Games like playroom work perfectly with the camera, so Just Dance is just lazy development, maybe its Ubisoft as they seem to be constantly throwing out poorly developed games these days.

    It's a shame, if the game worked it would be a hit with my kids, but we took it back as its clearly does not work as advertised.

    Please soft it out Ubisoft, my kids would love this game if you can fix it.    … Expand

    Great game if you have all the tools, ps4 move is great with it, but without it it's nothing, but a frustrating camera experience. The game has good content, but the cost of the actual equipment drags it down.

    Just dance 2 and 4 were extremely fun but now Ubisoft is turning into a pay to enter game and you have to pay 30 to 40 dollars already. Extreme infuriating that Ubisoft is poisoning their just dance franchise.

    Honestly, I liked this game. First of all, soundtrack is WAY better than 2015. I love how they added phone support so we don't have to buy a camera or stupid PS Move controllers (although if you have a large phone it's not really ideal).

    Dancing on the very edge of a recycle bin, Just Dance revamps what's so great about it every year. But the formula might just be losing its momentum, due to repeating.

    It is easy to be the best if you are the only one, but Ubisoft still works hard on its fluorescent dance franchise. It was a good idea to extend the video content so we can watch people dance from all over the world. The introduction of Just Dance Unlimited is still somewhat small, but it has definitely potential to become a Netflix dance game.

    For previous Just Dance games you had to use specialized controllers like PS Move; now you can make do with a smartphone. Problem is, when you’re holding the phone in your hand, it’s very hard for it to know what your left leg is doing, so JD 2016 assumes the best and awards you much more score than you deserve.
