Just Dance 2 by Ubisoft on the Nintendo Wii os for every fan of dance, dance games or anybody who says that they can’t dance. You will be pleasantly surprised how well you might do.

First, let痴 start with the soundtrack, because honestly, the music choice is perfect! Everybody will find thier  favorite songs. I consider myslef as a very difficult person to satisfy in terms of music and I was totally surprised to hear: Franz Ferdinand, the Rolling Stones, Blondie, Benny Benassi, Mika and much more.  There is music for every genre, disco, pop, rock, oldies…and if you want more you can download them on the Wii Shop. The sound quality is perfect too, evidently it depends on your surroundings and audio system.

The principle of Just Dance 2 is extremely easy in theory but to practice it less so. You have the Wiimote and you need to move your hand like the avatar on the screen. If you are right-handed, you will follow the left hand of the avatar which is illuminated, it is a sort of a mimic game or like a mirror, and if you are left-handed you will do the movement of the avatar’s right hand. 
It is a mirror principle, so for girls it is surely easier because they are used to watching them selves in the mirror, for guys it will be a bigger challenge. If you just move like the avatar it is great but not enough , in Just Dance 2, it is not only about doing the right movement , the speed and timing are important too. You must be in rhythm and have very quick reactions. I know that I知 not the best dancer ever but I don’t imagine that I値l have so many difficulties to reach the maximum points. So when you see on the box that the game is for 3-year-old children and older I can’t be agree that they値l enjoy it.

You have 3 possibilities of games, the first and the most classic: the just dance, you choose one song and you start to dance .  To receive 5 stars you need to be best in moving and in rhythm. In this mode you can choose another sub-mode. Sweat mode lets you have your own fitness room where you can follow different programs :mild, tough or intense. The more difficult they are, the more you sweat and more you lose weight (theoretically). It is a perfect way to keep you in form. And if you are really serious you can build your own program, and see your progress everyday.

The second sub-mode is the dance battle,  where you can choose to play the free-for-all which is 1 to 4 players or in team battle where there are 4 to 8 players.

In extras, which I recommend for everyone who isn’t used to moving, is the warm up mode, in this mode you have the possibility to warm up all parts of your body via stretching. Believe me you値l need it. Once you are feel ready, and that you think you池e a good dancer try the winner contest.
