The music in the game has received a mixed response from users, with many praising the variety and energy of the tracks, which include international styles beyond just Latin music. However, some players expressed disappointment over the short length of the songs, which can disrupt the flow of workouts, and noted that not all songs are appealing. Overall, while the music selection is generally seen as fun and motivating, the inconsistency in song quality and length has left some players wanting more.
“The music is really good!”
“The songs are absolutely awesome!”
“I love that this game incorporated songs and dances from around the world.”
“More and more I think about it, I'm not sure I'll play this game again, because I find myself not being motivated by the music selection.”
“Unlike Zumba Core, which left me dripping with sweat and unable to breathe, none of the moves in these songs were challenging enough to get my heart rate up.”
“The songs are extremely short. With Zumba Core, the songs were between 3 and 6 minutes long, allowing for a kind of build-up where moves evolved into more difficult and energetic versions. Most of the songs I tried on Zumba World were 2 or 3 minutes long.”

Overall, the graphics in the game have received positive feedback, with many users praising the lifelike appearance of the instructors and the significant improvements over previous versions. While some noted minor issues like blurriness, the enhanced visuals and realistic dancers contribute to a more engaging experience. The use of advanced technology to simulate real dancing has been particularly highlighted as a major upgrade.
“I really like the life-like instructors (I also have Zumba Fitness 2, and this is a huge step up in graphics!), and the moves/music are so fun!”
“The graphics are beautiful, and I love having the dancers look like real people rather than animations.”
“The graphics on World Party are so much better than the first versions of the Zumba games.”
“Better graphics.... but.....”
“That being said, there are some aggravating features in the game & graphics.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both physically demanding and enjoyable, likening it to a workout that leaves them feeling accomplished and happy.
“The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I spent hours doing the same tasks over and over, and it quickly became a chore rather than fun.”
“The amount of grinding required to progress is overwhelming and detracts from the overall experience.”
