Tracing is either performed by a console camera app like Xbox’s Kinect or the PlayStation camera, though you can also opt to use a Wiimote, Joy-Con or smartphone (with Just Dance companion app) - the game is basically available on every console ever made - and have that handheld track the movements of your right hand. Your task is to dance, mirroring the moves made by an on-screen dancer. If you’re new to Just Dance, it’s really the granddaddy of ’em all (and has beat out favourites like Dance Central). Just Dance Unlimited is still a thing, this time offering 400 songs (as compared to 300 in 2018) everyone who buys the game gets a 30-day trial subscription to the streaming service, and in a couple hours of play, I wasn’t pestered to try to extend that unless I went through in-game menus and brought up the Unlimited sub-menu. It’s a small little detail, but one gamers are really digging of late - I’m not sure why Ubisoft hasn’t made more noise about that fact. World Dance Floor also boasts cross-platform play, meaning you’ll be playing against those on other platforms unless you opt out. Kids mode returns, as does World Dance Floor… and, as you might have gathered from my praise, Sweat mode is also back.
Just Dance 2019 is the best Just Dance offering in many years, taking the best bits of the games before it to present a simple, efficient dancing experience. 2018‘s biggest crime was that it didn’t bring back Sweat, a simple mode that estimated the calories you were losing as your shook your groove thang. Just Dance 2018 continued this trend, replacing the UFO mode with one tailored to your little ones. Just Dance 2017 was the start of a franchise course correction, returning the popular World Dance Floor - as you might get from the name, an online dance-off for players around the world - alongside crazy modes like one that required your funky fresh moves in order to power a UFO. That feature launched at the same time Activision’s Guitar Hero Live offered a similar service - new songs streamed to your console of choice - but for the low, low price of free. The lowest point of the franchise was Just Dance 201 6, a soulless beast that wanted your extra money more than anything offered up by EA or Activision that year to put it into perspective, the Just Dance Unlimited service was 2016′s main draw card, an additional cost to those who’d bought the game. I’ve had a rather love-hate relationship with the Just Dance franchise in the last few years, but Just Dance 2019 had me smiling.
