    Just Dance 3 is an excellent game if you just want to dance without caring too much about the competition. The strong set list, choreographed dance routines and songs with different steps for different players sets it apart from the rest. The four player mode is impressive as well, and turns this game into a no-brainer for any fun-filled party.

    Just Dance 3 manages to edge past Dance Central 2 in overall accessibility and definitely in fun factor.

    Most importantly, though, it's good a broad, excellent soundtrack and a selection of dance routines that range from spectacularly silly to intimidatingly cool. The scoring system might be puzzling at times, but you'll have enormous fun playing Just Dance 3, and that is what matters in the end.

    Although Just Dance 3 isn't very original, it can sure be the life of a party. The choreography is excellent and the songs will keep you swinging for hours to come. Just Dance 3 can be a lot of fun with some friends but can quickly become a bore when you're playing on your own.

    Unsophisticated but effective fun. [Christmas 2011, p.105]

    Just Dance 3 joins the family of Kinect dance games as an interesting offer. Due to it's very lenient tracking system, it manages to offer an enjoyable arcade experience for everyone.

    Just Dance 3 isn't as polished as Dance Central 2 and it doesn't have the heritage and history that comes with Michael Jackson: The Experience, but that doesn't mean it's not just as much fun. It may not be brimming with game modes and it probably won't improve your dancing skills, but Just Dance 3 does guarantee a good time, especially with friends and family.

    Just Dance 3 on Xbox 360 is pure fun. With such an experience is useless to think about lag and precision, cause the entire game has been built around one only element: having fun with your friends.

    Just Dance 3 is heaps of hilarious fun that no party should be without.

    Just Dance 3 is clearly more geared towards people that have no problem letting go of their inhibitions, don't embarrass easily, and are not shy in the slightest. If you have no problem making a fool of yourself and like to wear funny wigs and clothes at a party, you'll feel right at home dancing to the set list.

    If you want a fine party-style dance game that features some solid options, including some not found anywhere else, and focuses more on just shaking your body than move accuracy, then this is the game for you.

    What Just Dance 3 gets right is how easy it is to load up, choose a song, and get dancing with multiple players.

    A very good and mixed tracklist meets relatively simple and forgiving dance mechanics, where we'll mainly use our upper body. More suited as a party game rather than a real challenge for dance enthusiasts.

    Cons: older songs
    I bought the Xbox version which doesn’t require a controller. That is a huge plus because then you don’t have to worry about it flinging into the TV or it limiting your movements. I bought this game in 2011 at the nearest Game Stop store. The service there was very helpful in finding a game that I would like and helped me choose this one. The people that were working there told me that the game was great and that I’d like most of the songs. I played it right when I got home and I liked it right away.
    What I like most about this version of Just Dance is its wide array of song choice. Most of the other versions only have a few good songs but this one has over 20. Some of the songs are a little older so little kids might not know what they are. Most of the songs have great dance moves. There are one or two songs where the dance moves are a little inappropriate for younger children but they are still a lot of fun.
    Whenever my friends come over we always play Just Dance 3. We have a lot of fun and end up laughing about how bad we are at dancing. This game brings out all of our competitive sides and engages us in a friendly competition. It sets up levels that have you unlock special characters which lets you try hard to earn something. It gives you great exercise while having fun at the same time.
    Overall my experience with Just Dance 3 was really good. I got it going right as I started it. All the songs and dance moves are pretty good. I recommend this for anyone but some of the younger crowd might not know some of the songs but they are still really good. If you have any comments or questions let me know. ;’    … Full Review »

    WOW. An amazing game for all of the family (that's right kids, you can convince your dad to have a go too). Works great with the Xbox KinectWOW. An amazing game for all of the family (that's right kids, you can convince your dad to have a go too). Works great with the Xbox Kinect as no controller is needed so you can dance freely. Brilliant exercise too! A good variety of music as well as warm-ups and dance game-type things. There is something for everyone. If you don't like the dances, create your own with the special feature! No music to suit you? You can unlock or buy new songs by either dancing or visiting the store. Overall, a must-have game for buckets of fun!… Full Review »
