Just Dance 2016 Critic Reviews

After a bad Just Dance 2015, Ubisoft Paris has learned from its mistake and now gives us Just Dance 2016, one of the very best games of the IP with its high quality playlist and its overall generous content. A must-have for fans of musical games.

Just Dance 2016 is great fun for people of all ages, and is an excellent game among friends.

Its fresh song list, hilarious dance moves and memorising graphics will keep you and your friends entertained for hours, with some always demanding more each chance they get. Just maybe, be careful what songs you do in front of your parents, or you kids.

It is easy to be the best if you are the only one, but Ubisoft still works hard on its fluorescent dance franchise. It was a good idea to extend the video content so we can watch people dance from all over the world. The introduction of Just Dance Unlimited is still somewhat small, but it has definitely potential to become a Netflix dance game.

It's time to dance again, and Just Dance 2016 turns the music on. Songs for everyone, in an iteration of the franchise that goes all out for the social aspects. The fact that you can use a smartphone instead of a camera is yet another success.

Just Dance 2016 is best when playing with friends and family, but it's no more than a mild improvement on the last.

Just Dance 2016 is a one trick pony and if you have beers and friends, or children who need to be entertained, it’s a great way to spend a few hours. As a solo game it’s a bit dull and you do start to notice that the tracking of your dancing is dubious to say the least.

Fun but flawed, Just Dance 2016 is wildly entertaining with family and friends and offers instant pick-up-and-play appeal, but it needs a serious rethink in terms of its scoring system, track list and identity if it’s to continue to be a success.

Dancing on the very edge of a recycle bin, Just Dance revamps what's so great about it every year. But the formula might just be losing its momentum, due to repeating.

For previous Just Dance games you had to use specialized controllers like PS Move; now you can make do with a smartphone. Problem is, when you’re holding the phone in your hand, it’s very hard for it to know what your left leg is doing, so JD 2016 assumes the best and awards you much more score than you deserve.
