Users appreciate the variety, including hits from different decades, and enjoy the ability to unlock new songs through gameplay.

“The song selection is great, and it is hilarious watching everyone try to match what's on the screen.”
“Nice selection of songs, and the more you play, the more you earn. The graphics are nice and include songs from all eras and genres.”
“Overall, for my first dance/workout game, I was really impressed with the options and song selection as well as the fun factor!”
“Buying new songs is way too expensive.”
“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.”
