Lastly, JD16 introduces something called Just Dance Unlimited, a streaming service that gives you access to 150 extra tracks (a few of which are unique to this service, the rest have been featured in Just Dance games before). This brings a new campaign element into the game.įair warning, though: all of the above features require that you own an eighth-generation console (PS4, Xbox One, or Wii U). Sorry, seventh-gen gamers. Plus, it brings in a new feature called “Dance Quests,” which have you battling against computer-controlled dancers. It also brought in a cool feature called Showtime, which lets you record lip-syncs of songs à la Jimmy Fallon. JD16 introduces Dance Party, a cooperative multiplayer mode in which dancers are working together to get high scores as a team.
WII DANCE PARTY 2015 INSTALL
To use this feature you’ll need to install a free app on your phone. I am really glad that Ubisoft has kept this feature because not everyone has a ton of controllers for their console, and Just Dance is a game best played in large groups. Just Dance 2016 does have some new features, of course, in addition to about 40 brand-new songs.įor one, you can use your smartphone as a controller on the Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U (though this was an option last year for Xbox One and PS4, it’s new to the Wii U). If I were 10 or 15 years younger and playing this game with my friends instead of by myself in an office building, my experience would have been completely different. This game is so profoundly similar to its predecessor it amazes me that it is in fact its own game, and not actually bonus downloadable content.īut at the same time, I know it’s easy to be cynical of a colorful party game all about shaking your butt, and I know that these games have a valid and valuable place in video game canon. Playing JD16 now, it’s hard not to be cynical. When I reviewed Just Dance 2015 one year ago, it was the first time I had ever played a Just Dance game. Just Dance 2016 features an original song called Chiwawa.
