Except a string of ball you can actually play with..

@soriku

Really soriku? How is the game i just said any different from just dance? You guys dont seem to understand that JUST DANCE records none of your movement.. only when the wii mote moves in any point it will say "GREAT!".

WII SPORTS is an actual casual experience, a great game to have fun with for 5 10 maybe 30 mins every now and then. Just dance is just "the game says dance" and you just dance randomly.. not even following anything on screen and that's it.

don't be surprise if Wii2 bundle with "ball of String" simulator where you are a dog in screen chasing a ball.

 

 

 

they already did with frisbee after all. ;)

I don't even know how you guys are defending this..

maybe it's because im not explaining the basics of the game right.. clearly.. my mind is acting strange at the moment.

I have a theory about it... but I would like to hear more. ;)

consumers on the nintendo console are among the most intelligent consumers on the planet. only the very best efforts will be rewarded with sales from this extremely refined audience. just face it leo - the consumers have spoken, just dance is an amazing game.

Are you seriously calling games like Imagine Babyz and Carnival Games... "The very best efforts"?

Played either of them?

Carnival Games - Yes. And it was about as deep and engaging as a puddle of donkey piss. Probably more effort FROM the donkey.

Imagine Babyz - No, i would rather fist myself. And in no way is that game, or any in the "Imagine" series in the same league of "effort" as Legend of Zelda, Mario/Sonic, Mario RPG's, Pokemon, Kirby, Scribblenauts... Etc.

Let me introduce you one of the biggest and most popular toys from the early 80's

This's the Simon, this thing basically light each color at ramdom sequences and the players have to repeat the same sequence ..... and that's all. Yes it's simple, didn't take a lot to elaborate and it isn't a secret that it's made of cheap plastic and chips. So why was so popular?

Because it's a good product everybody can play it, understand it and enjoy it at their own way. Videogames can be good products if they follow those rules, sometime you get good games that are good products (like NSMB) other you have good games that are terrible products (like Okami) and yes good products that are terrible games (Just Dance)



I've been waiting weeks to get this game in the mail from GameFly. They've skipped over it twice now because it's out of stock. Luckily I just got an e-mail notification that says I'm getting Just Dance instead of Red Steel 2 this week.

What I get out of the OP is that everybody likes it but leo-j. I'm really sorry to hear that and I hope I have better luck with the controls. But as a fan of dancing, dance games, party games, and games that can entertain huge crowds of women, I'm really looking forward to it.

@Rudebang

when you do, please post here and give your impressions

@everyone defending it

TRY IT FIRST BEFORE going all "its subjective" on me.

Just Dance will proberly be the wii's equvilent of Guitar Hero. Though people always hate on somthing. You can't enjoy every game nor can you love all the popular games. So move on

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

You know my experience with the game has been about as equally depressing haha. It's really not much of a game. However, working at Gamestop every person that I've talked about it that has bought it and played it seems to love it. Obviously almost 90% of them are females, but the absolutely love the game. Actually the game is pushing sales of other dance games such as DDR because they want more like it (even Karaoke as well). I always have to ask why they like it, and the majority answer is they get to listen and dance to music they like with friends and family around.


Now as I said, I didn't think must of the game and really thought it was quite poor, but I think we can all relate to that sentiment. I'll say it pretty truthfully that I think the Guitar Hero and Rock Band setup is dull and overused and really a silly way to express musical notes and rhythms. Even moreso, I'm really not good at playing it (smaller hands and carpals tunnel slows me down). But why do I like playing them, and will be getting Green Day Rock Band. Well I get to listen and sing to music I like, and at least for once in my life I get to feel like I'm somewhat of a rockstar. And even though I'm not amazing at it, it's not about getting high scores for me.

I think this is how people feel about Just Dance and its something we can all relate to. It's not about playing a perfect game or being the best, but just having fun with something you are enjoying and having fun with. And if I think people look at it that way, they'll think a little higher of the people enjoying it. Don't think of the developers too highly, because they could have done a much better job, but at least understand why they are enjoying it just like for my reasons of enjoying the GH and RB games despite being silly when you think about it.
