An Exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit 'meh,' really.

The game offers a personalized experience with a curated homepage, and includes eight exclusive kid-friendly dances. Up to six players can join in on the fun using a smartphone to track moves, with a one-month trial of Just Dance Unlimited offering access to over 400 songs.

The music selection in the latest Just Dance title has received mixed reviews, with some players noting a smaller and less diverse song list compared to previous years, particularly lacking in Latin tracks and featuring more hip-hop and electronic music. While the choreography is praised for feeling more natural, many users express disappointment over the reliance on a subscription model for accessing a broader range of songs, leading to a perception of a lackluster experience without additional payment. Overall, while there are enjoyable tracks and a good variety for some, the general consensus is that the music offerings could be significantly improved.
