Some of the songs featured in this mode include the classic euro-disco tune “Rasputin”, as well as a song by the eternal Barry White. There are ten songs, one from each previous Just Dance game. In it, you control the franchise’s panda mascot, which has been infamously present in basically every single Ubisoft E3 presentation in recent memory, playing a few songs that have been included in previous iterations of the franchise. Finally, “Baby Shark” is included in here, for all the four year olds out there.Īnother neat addition is the All-Stars mode, a little mode meant to celebrate the series’ tenth anniversary. Yes, you read that right, the French dance act from the 1800’s. While I wasn’t exactly wrong, as there is a ton of weird EDM and K-Pop I can’t stand, Just Dance 2020 featured an impressive variety of genres, ranging from a ton of reggaeton (a genre I actually do like, even if I’m wearing a t-shirt from a Norwegian black metal band as we speak), hip hop, the aforementioned Backstreet Boys, and even some more esoteric choices, like Monty Python‘s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” and the Can-Can. That was the part I was worried about, as I was expecting for this game to basically feature only the biggest dance hits of 2019. Yeah, I’m aware this might be old news for Just Dance‘s massive casual audience, but for someone new to the series like myself, I was actually impressed with how dedicated Ubi is with making this game as accessible as possible.īeing a music game, Just Dance 2020 lives and dies by its setlist. You can control the entire game with your phone, if you so choose, and that means even navigating through the menus being displayed on your TV, with negligible input lag. I have no idea how Ubisoft came up with the conclusion that my Samsung Galaxy could act as a fake joycon/Wiimote, but it works pretty well, a lot better than it should. I wasn’t expecting for a mobile phone to be such a decent motion controller. That’s a gem from my childhood, don’t judge me. It took me an extra minute to create my profile, to be introduced to the handful of modes at my disposal, and a few seconds later I was already dancing to the Backstreet Boys’ “ Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)“. It took me a minute to download the Just Dance mobile app and pair it with my copy of the game. It’s also basically the only game that still makes the Kinect feel somewhat relevant nowadays, even though you can (and honestly, should) use a mobile phone as your motion-sensoring controller.īeing the first time I ever played one of those, I was impressed with how simple and user-friendly the game’s entire interface is. This dancing series has sold more than 67 million copies, with Wii versions of its games still being sold to this day, outselling the PS4 and Xbox One versions by a huge margin. Reliving the soundtrack of the like two sweet sixteen parties I was invited to back in the day.ĭoes Just Dance even need an introduction at this point? The series is the epitome of what the “hardcore” gaming audience shuns, but casuals buy in stacks.
