I don't like this. Shovelware should not sell like this.

It's not shovelware, really.

Note that most game reviewers are, well, males? How many of these guys would enjoy a dancing game, even if it were the greatest dancing game ever?

Think about it.

Well if the non-shovelware focused on raw fun more often, this might not happen.

And that's for all systems.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Bought this game for the kids based on the commercial showing all the activity and the songs. Told my wife we had to try it out first and she balked because it was late, after the kids were in bed. I nagged she gave in I lasted 3 songs she danced every song until 2 in the morning. She had so much fun the game never made it under the Xmas tree. The next day the whole family had a blast. That night friends came over and danced for 3 hours. I'm taking it to the company Xmas party.

Pros - It's fun, fun, fun. The best family or group game since Wii Sport Bowling. It doesn't take a huge amount of skill or even rhythm. It's for the very young, anyone who can get up and boogie or simply the young at heart. If you try to play the game as intended you will get one heck of a total aerobic workout especially the smile muscles.

Cons - Primarily it's just that there is only 30 songs and surprisingly it's not enough, the developers should or had to have known they needed more (so that's the 1 star deduction.) It isn't for hard core gamers who are driven to be able to conquer a stage, solve a puzzle, revel in a high score or master a total game. They simply won't get it at all. The scoring is not spot on for the competition minded. I imagine if you wanted to cheat and just move the wiimote you could bypass the fun all together. May be to much exercise for those with physical impairments.

 

Out of the 165 people who considered whether it was 5 stars or not, 164 agreed it was.

I bet they come out with 3 sequels at once that cannibalize each other and the original, drying up all the profits the original made. It's the only way to treat a smash hit. You must DESTROY IT.

Damn. Wasn't expecting that!



Most of the people who bought a Wii did so to get new, fun, and polished gameplay experiences than what they had got before; while a game like Just Dance may not be a great game for everyone (or even most gamers) it does seem like a new, fun and polished gameplay experience that would appeal to a lot of people.
