    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

    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.

    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.
