    First of all, this is not a conventional dance game. “Just Dance 2015” is a conventional dance game or party dance game, you name it. Just goofing around, nothing more. “Dance Central Spotlight” is more of a dance simulator, dance tutorial, your personal dance trainer. And an excellent one.

    As of today, I’ve played for almost three months in a row and I can honestly say that this game is perfect for me. There’s nothing unnecessary in the game. Just songs, routines and dance moves. Kinect 2.0 works really great. It’s unbelievable. I always thought it was for party games and staff like that. You know, just for fun, nothing more. Nowadays technology gives excellent precision in reading your moves, so if you doing something wrong, game’ll let you know. It’s on par with training in a real dance studio. That’s my honest opinion. And after almost a hundred routines I still stand by it. Routines, learning curve, motion-capturing of dance moves are top-notch. You can slow down at any time and practice any particular move. You want to learn to dance from scratch, you can do that. You want to get in shape, nothing is better then dancing. If you have some experience, like me, you’ll improve your techniques and arsenal of dance moves. Real dance moves that you can use on a dance floor in the club. Of course there are some hitches, like sometimes Kinect loses you with no apparent reason, some of your moves are not counted as «Flawless» and you have no idea why, or song selection screen updating for 3-5 minutes when you start a game. But that’s nothing.

    I recommend this game to everyone.    … Expand

    I use this game as my personal trainee. From the beginning it was not much fun, just exercises. But when i learned movements and developers made special mode for training i have enough excitement to keep training regularly and with fun. Awesome.

    I rather enjoyed all the music and such with the game. The workout portion works wonders, There's always new routines to do. Personally the people who dislike this game either A can't dance or B become exhausted to frequently. The reason why this is not a 10 out of 10 for me is because when I did multi-player at my home it kept crashing.

    Modern, pretty and competent, but devoid of stupid fun and a soul. [Dec 2014, p.78]

    Precision in the motion tracking is everything for a game like this, and it works most of the time. One of the best of its genre.
