These will monitor your performance in front of the television and award you a score based on how well you match the pros. Depending on the console you own - such as PlayStation 4, Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, or Xbox One - a camera or sensor is usually placed just above or below the television. JUST DANCE 2020 is a rhythm game that challenges gamers to mimic the moves of the on-screen dancers. I'd love a US version with a little less doll aesthetic for the women, more gender diversity, It was developed in Paris & Milan which I think helps explain differences in movements and sexual comfort levels. **I went back and looked up where/why this game was made as I suspected it wasn't in the US based on the choreography. (Perhaps using both controllers would help aid in better left arm usage.) I plan to use this game to add in a mix to my workout routine, but I want to make sure that other half of my body isn't lacking. Some of the dances seem right arm heavy. Single player mode should allow for holding both controllers. I wish the game had an 'expert' level (perhaps the paid subscription has more complex dances.) And, also a bit sexist/ toxic male.ĪKA, my 9 year old pointed out that the version where you play against people world wide all the positive votes were for the dances with sexy women. There's a weird doll thing going on with almost all of the female dances. If you're super conservative, religious, or have strong feelings about sexual movements, you should preview. Shaming/ skipping parts doesn't aid in that goal I believe.įor our family, some of the dances warrant a discussion, analyzing, and learning about why those movements may feel more natural or less sexual in other cultures. And, there is a wide variance of acceptable movement among cultures. Americans tend to be a bit prudish in this regard. But, I also recognize part of that is my own biases and upbringing. I'm listing this as a con since I'm not personally *totally* comfortable with my young girls moving like this. Many of the games do have sexually suggestive moves. Also, Why are all the dancers in the graphics displayed as white? Come on. Why do you have to level up to unlock Skin tones? Um No. But choreographed by a HipHop expert.not a general dance person. If so, they're gonna need different moves. The wiki on this game says it was designed to give the average person some moves when they go out.but honesty, I doubt it's being used for that purpose. Some of that is great for fun and comedic value for me there was too much. (Think of the whitest, white man that can't dance that you know.and him *trying* to do the Carlton dance from Fresh Prince.) Some of the dances have awkward choreography. You basically have to go through the whole Katy Perry discography before you advance. A deal with Now That's What I Call Music would be good.Ĭertainly there's a lack of HipHop, R& B, Rap, etc. Although there is a variety of music, it's not top 10 Pop music. More like, hey game makers, improve the game a bit! Most of them though aren't big enough to not use the game for us. Totally could be used as a workout tool! You can unlock new songs by completing and leveling up with dances. Dances are labeled easy through advanced. International dance influences are apparent too - Bollywood style, tribal elements, African dance, classical, pop, hiphop, etc. Lots of international flavor - Songs in French, Spanish, Korean (?), etc. There are a variety of songs, but most are upbeat and a good addition of silly songs/moves. I love that my kids want to play this and do all the moves. This game is super fun and a refreshing change to zoned out video games. I also tend to be a heavy on the critique of everything. I was a dancer for a long time, so I suspect I may be a bit more critical of some parts of this game that an average person may not. For our family the Pros totally outweigh the cons. Overall I love this game and the kids do as well.
