There's even the option to play with your phone as a controller instead of Joy-Con, which works remarkably well, even if most modern phones are slightly too big to comfortably hold while dancing (and there's always the danger that you'll fling it halfway across the room during an overzealous arm movement). World Dance Floor – a 3-song competitive tournament that matches you with players of a similar level – is Ubisoft's concession towards pandemic-afflicted households that can't partake in the co-op, and is a great way to spend 10 minutes if you fancy losing to twenty people with long Gamertags who've mastered every single dance. The new costumes and backgrounds range from entertaining to slightly cringey when it comes to some of the 'cooler' songs, like Billie Eilish and basically any rap, and although there's a tendency to rely on cartoonish ethnic stereotypes, that's hardly new for the Just Dance series.įeatures like Quick Play and Shuffle Play make it easy to jump right into dancing and to entertain groups who aren't picky about song choice or carefully curated playlists. The new dances are funky and stylish, yet simple enough to follow, relying largely on the arm and hand movements that can be detected by the controllers – legs are fully optional here – and although it's easy to fake, you're only letting yourself down by not committing wholeheartedly.

Though this is the same gameplay we've been given by Ubisoft since Just Dance's debut 11 long years ago, it's as fun now as it was then. The main mode, aptly named 'Just Dance', offers new tracks to shift your limbs to, each with a brand-new dance and corresponding visuals.
