    My children really love the Just Dance games. They were really excited about all the great songs on this edition - from new songs like uptown funk and demi lavato's cool for summer to oldies like copacabana and you're the one that I want (from Grease). gets the kids up and moving!

    Purchased for grandchildren's Christmas gift. Fun way to get physical activity indoors for entire family. Song choices for young children are age appropriate. They love it.

    Just Dance has always been fun to play, this one is no exception. Though, I wish there was a difficulty rating on each song like in the past. Other than that, no complaints.

    Just Dance is extremely fun. Now, having said that, Just Dance can be difficult. Not that the moves themselves are that hard, it's just that it expects you to be an expert and know moves the first time you do a song. The incoming dance move timeline is way too short, compared to a DDR or a Rockband or something similar. Theoretically, the incoming timeline is only supposed to augment the player(s) mirroring the on screen avatar, but there's a fundamental problem with this. You're expected to be doing the dance move at the *same time* that the onscreen avatar is doing the move. If you're always mirroring the avatar, you're going to be lagging a few beats behind. That's the whole point of the incoming moves timeline, to let you know what's next, so that you can be in sync with the avatar. As such, when you don't know what move to do next, you're going to lag, and lose star rating. There really needs to be a training mode or something similar, where you can slow the song down, and learn the moves smartly, then actually play the song in Dance Quest and other modes. In addition, a longer, more visible incoming timeline would be super helpful for not having to memorize each and every song. It would certainly help in not having to memorize several 3 minute routines. Beyond that, the new 2016 innovation of using your phone to play works reasonably well. It syncs quickly, though the app is a bit of a battery drain, at least on iOS9. And if you get a call, and depending on your notification settings for apps, any notifications will interrupt and pause the game. Not that this is a direct fault of the game. The Wii U version of the game is SLOOOOOW. It takes well over a minute from loading the game to actually playing a song. It doesn't seem like any optimization was done for this system. Every load transition is comically long for what it's actually doing. It's a fun game, even more so in a group.

    I was a little apprehensive about this game for the Wii U using the wii remotes, after being introduced to the game on XBOX with the Kinect. However, it plays great on the Wii U, great interface. Like the idea of being able to use smart phones as well, which was easy to do. My five year old loves to dance and absolutely loves this game. Other songs can be purchased and unlocked through the dance unlimited feature which is like a subscription. Not that thrilled about the pricing on that but the game itself is worth getting.

    My daughter is 7 years old and she tried out the demo for this game and absolutely loved it. The controls are pretty responsive for using the Wii-mote to copy the dance moves. There's a good variety of songs available in the base game, and if you want more songs there's options to buy the extra subscription to unlock songs from some of the older games. You can also earn points by playing the game which can be used to unlock more songs as well.

    Before I get the Wii U I had an XBox. Yeah I know. Not so much of a great change but I did give my xbox away. Was for a great cause. Anyway. I always had these types of games and I can certainly assure that you gonna have a great time playing it. If you love dancing of course. Or goofing around like a floating doll lol no matter how good you are (or bad) you will have a great time.

    I think the only thing more fun than playing the Just Dance series is watching the kids play. Besides the fact that it's one they can figure out on their own, seeing the dance moves 3rd person makes great video! Oh wait, one thing more fun is watching the adults play after the kids are in bed.

    My 11 yr old daughter loves to Wii Dance and she has 2014, 2015 and 2016 which I purchased recently with a price match in BB. Wii dancing is every year the highlight of her birthday party. I do not why for sure but she prefers 2015. Still, she loves them all.

    I was concerned if this game would be any good on the Wii U, boy was I surprised! The Wii U game pad does an excellent job taking short video clips of your family dancing and having a good time, then let's you post them or save them. Good family fun!!

    Perfect for showing average people how uncoordinated and out of shape they are lol. Song options are good and if you play it enough you will get good exercise and hopefully learn the routines enough to look less like you are having a seizure. It's good to have goals lol.

    Got this for my 11 year old's birthday slumber party. We had a preview play the night before her party. We have all the previous versions and they keep getting better. Kids love it and now the friends want one. The kids highly recommend.
