The music aspect of the game is generally praised for its upbeat and varied soundtrack, which includes a mix of popular songs and dance routines that appeal to a casual audience. However, many users express frustration over the significant portion of songs being locked behind the Just Dance Unlimited subscription, leading to dissatisfaction with the limited initial song selection and connectivity issues with the service. Overall, while the music enhances the fun and exercise experience, the subscription model and access limitations detract from the enjoyment for many players.
“It's hard to say just what made Just Dance as popular as it was; it likely had a lot to do with its accessibility to a casual audience, upbeat soundtrack, and dance routines.”
“The songs popular at the time of each installment into the franchise have been immortalized - in 2017, that was Justin Bieber's 'Sorry' and 'Cheap Thrills' by Sia among many others.”
“The game runs very smoothly, and not only do you get the great song choices of the game itself, you also get a few free months of Just Dance Unlimited, which includes old classics from past games and new songs made for JD2017.”
“90% of songs are locked behind Just Dance Unlimited.”
“After I paid $55 to access the game, they removed 2/3 of the content in an update requiring you to pay a subscription to gain access to the songs you already paid for.”
“It's even worse that they don't bother to remove the unlimited content from the lists so you have to scroll through loads of songs to even find anything playable.”
Just Dance 2017 Review
Probably the most definitive Just Dance game yet, but maybe it should be the last?
80%Just Dance 2017 Review
Just Dance 2017 may be a good dancing game for anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously or wants to have a good time with friends, but if you bought 2016, then don't bother. The new Just Dance Machine mode is fun, but it's hard to justify a purchase unless you're a big Just Dance fan.
60%Time to Switch it up - Just Dance 2017 review
While a step up from last year in terms of included tracks, Just Dance 2017 doesn’t bring a lot new to the table -- the meat and potatoes lies in Just Dance Unlimited. The Switch version specifically functions as well as you might expect, offering up an easy second player controller courtesy of readily-available Joy-Cons, though the experience becomes difficult visually once undocked. At this point, it’s what you’d expect from Just Dance, but on a new platform. Consider this tiny cartridge your portal into Just Dance Unlimited as I imagine 2017 might be where physical entries to the series end.
