“This is a great game, just like the others, but of course it's now joined the world of you must buy music/dances that you would want. What I don't like is that with these songs they are advertised as coming with the game, not as an extra cost.”
“There is not a lot of DLC songs to buy, and I would say the song selection is the worst part of this.”
