We bought this just before New Years and brought it out at a house party friends were hosting (they welcomed any group video or board games to give extra conversation pieces). Just Dance was an instant success with the entire crowd. Participants started out feeling a little goofy, but they soon got into it and started competing for top scores; the crowd was howling with laughter and cheering on their favorite dancer. The hardest thing about the game was figuring out whose turn it was!
This is the first time I have ever left a review for a product I have purchased, but this game is so awesome that I had to leave this feedback.
I have only owned my Wii for a short time. I mainly use Wii Fit Plus, which I really enjoy. I purchased the Winter Olympics game for $40 recently and was SO disappointed when I played it, that it left me "gunshy" to purchase another game without having tried it first. But I am SO glad I bought Just Dance.
Well, let me start out by saying that I am NOT a dancer...I have NO rhythm whatsoever. But, this Just Dance game is So much fun and great exercise. My heart is racing by the time I finish a song, but I keep going on and on, because I am having so much fun.
There is a good variety of music, something for almost everyone. I agree with some of the other reviews that it would be nice if there were more music, especially once I have played this longer and get used it, but the number of songs (around 30 I think) wouldn't stop me from purchasing this product.
The only other negative review I have read about this game is that the Great, OK and X (based on the accuracy of your movements) are not accurate, which is somewhat true. However, using that rating is just a little incentive for me, doesn't really matter all that much. I am doing this for the exercise and the rating is not all that important.
I give this game 5 stars and would highly recommend it to anyone. For me, this is up there with my Wii Fit Plus, but I love it even more!
I bought this game initally for my 8yr old niece; once we started playing I had so much much fun with the kids that I went out and bought another one for me. I love all the songs and let me tell you that you will get a workout. We all had major fun...even my 3 yr old niece enjoyed playing. At the time we only had three remotes and it was six of us playing the game. We all danced anyways without all of us having a Wii remote. We loved doing it either way. If you want a fun workout or just want to get the family together this is the game for you.
Pros: a great workout for anyone because you can sit down and just use your arms if you are not physically fit or do the entire 32 dances if you are very fit. Also the game has alternate fun ways of playing the same songs. Such as "Last one Standing", which is the person that last through the entire song wins you lose by messing steps. Or you can play "Pose" which is when you stop and go on que to get higher points,which is lots of fun
Cons: Their are only a limited amount of songs (32) and no way of keeping score of who is winning if you play more than one game (we use a notepad and calculate the points ourselves). But this is all minor to me for the fun that has come from this game.
All and all this is a must have for fun lovers!!!!
This was so much dancing to the music. I got a fabulous workout from this. I would highly recommend it for fun or exercise. My kids loved it too. Also, you do not need the dance mat for this. Plus you only use one of the remotes.
Great game for cardio excercise. My wife has been trying to get me to learn how to dance to something and so I tried this and was out of breath after 5 songs. Will probably still have to go to a dancing school to learn how to couple dance but this game still gives you a great workout for the price.
I played this at my friend's house and this game was the reason I bought the Wii. It is SO much fun to play this game...although it is much more fun to play it with more than one person. It is really a workout. You do the song can't touch this or the cotton eyed joe song and you are wore slam out! I'm sure it could help you lose weight if that's what you need (I know I do!). Anyway, I can't wait for a just dance 2 to come out with more songs!!!
This is a fun family game. At first my 12 year old son was embarrassed to play but as soon as he saw we could do it together, he was IN. You really do get a nice workout while dancing to music from 60's and up. I just wish there were more songs and look forward to Just Dance 2.
This is my first review ever but just had to write about this Wii game! It is so much fun!! My 7 year old daughter and I played this yesterday for the first time. We laughed and sweated until we collapsed. I couldn't talk my three teenage boys into trying it, but they sure got some laughs out of watching us. We couldn't wait for my husband to get home to get him to do it. He was hilarious! Anyway, you will forget that you are getting exercise and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun Wii game.
I bought this last Christmas for my 8 year old. We love it! It's like a workout and you don't even realize it since your having so much fun. As I mentioned in the subject line, be dressed to sweat! I'm looking forward to Just Dance II and hoping for some Lady Gaga music. I can't wait to use this at the next party we have. If you have kids that need some indoor exercise...this could be your remedy!!
I was really struggling to get a guy into dancing and this was the answer to getting loose. When he was able to practice some moves at home first, he got comfortable enough to really learn to enjoy himself. Also I enjoy Just Dance a lot; it is really fun. I can't wait for the next edition and hope for a lot more of the same type of thing. I love the faceless choreographer/dancer you can imagine as yourself, the color scheme, even the upbeat type music is all just great. My hope is that next time there will be more songs and more "guy dances" because we ran out of guy dances after a couple of weeks. I love it. Also if you are really into the Wii fitness craze I think you should know that some of the longer songs are a real workout even for fitness buffs but don't worry if you are just starting out because there a songs for every skill level. I love Fatboy Slim. Oh another neat feature is you see the lyrics to the songs at the bottom of the screen, the Reel 2 Real song "I Like To Move It" is really funny and I would have never known that w/o those lyrics.
It's not just for kids, adults can use it too. Try doing the full version of the songs for 30 minutes and check your heart rate and feel the sweat...laughing. Hey even my pug loved one of the songs...Who let the dogs out. He will bark along with that song and only that song...lol.
I brought it over to my mom's and we all got into it... My brother doesn't dance and he beat all the kids at the retro dances... We all laughed and had a ball... Worth every dime!
I wasn't sure about this game but needed a little something new for motivation to keep the exercise going. My kids who are all grown play it as well as my 6 year old grand-daughter. It's fun by myself and great when the kids are over.
I got this game recently cause this time of the year I get lazy and don't work out much. First time we used we danced for over an hour. We sweat and had lot of fun. I'm glad I got it.
Fun game! I have enjoyed playing this game & so have the kids. It's also a great way to get some physical activity.
