Gameplay

The game is identical to the other games in Ubisoft's franchise, Just Dance . Players are required to perform specific dance moves in time with the music, following a routine indicated on-screen by any three live-action dancers. Animated score icons judge how the players did the move. Like the original Just Dance , the game also includes shake moves, where players shake their Wii Remotes when the shake meter appears. If the player performs well, by dancing accurately and in-time, their score will build and their ranking is obtained upon completion of the song.

There are two other game modes, Team High Scores, and Freeze & Shake. Team High Scores mode has up to two teams of two dance together and allows one player to shake their Wii Remote when the spotlight hits them. And Freeze & Shake mode has players stop moving when the stop sign appears in addition to just shake moves.

Music

A soundtrack with 26 covers from the game [1] was released on November 9, 2010, the same day the game launched. [2]
