Cowabunga dude, kids are radical, am I right? I feel sorry for the children who appear in this failure of a game, who were probably lured into Ubisoft's van by the promise of candy.Ĭompare the One Direction choreography in this game to Just Dance 4 it's like night and day. Just Dance Kids 2014 on the other hand contains unconvincing smiley digitized tweens who were probably focus-tested to produce the hippest attitudes you can get for a way cool gnarly game like this.
It has a broad selection of tunes that will appeal to a wide variety of pop music fans. It has dance choreography that may prompt an embarrassed smile when you realize what you have to do to win, but ultimately are really well thought-out, and designed to hit a sweet spot between step complexity and fun. That game has shadowy, colorful avatars who allow players to project their personalities into the game. However, this is only applicable to games like Just Dance 4.
If you're the type of person who really enjoys dancing alone or with your friends in front of your TV to pop music, it is true that Ubisoft do put a lot of effort into trying to please you.
Just Dance may be a successful rhythm game series where players follow onscreen avatars by moving their Wii remotes in time to the popular tunes of the day, but behind this humble premise lies respect for the player. It has more features, far better design, more songs and includes a lot of songs kids would actually want to dance to. If you want a new Just Dance game, get Just Dance 4. You need Wii remotes and a sensor bar to play anyway. It is on the Wii, which means you can play it on your Wii U.
If you want a Just Dance experience that subtracts the potential evils of pop music so you can be absolutely sure it won't turn your kids into mini Miley Cyruses, then get Just Dance Disney Party.
