The newest edition of Just Dance mixes new moves with new songs that include Pitbull featuring Chirstina Aguilera's "Feel This Moment", Psy's "Gentleman", and other songs such as Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". Features include the World Dance Floor, the game's first online mulitplayer mode so you can dance with anyone anywhere in the world. Competition modes include boys vs. girls or crew vs. crew. Players can track their standing on global leader boards, check out stats about other players, and see community updates. In the new On Stage Mode, you can dance, lead two back-up dancers, and even sing if you want. The Custom Sweat Mode lets you personalize your Just Sweat workouts by creating custom playlists and tracking calories. The Puppet Master mode has been upgraded to the Party Master mode, giving the player controlling the Wii U GamePad more options to MC the party, including choosing the next dance move, picking new songs, and giving silly challenges to up to four other players. There's not much to say about this game since it recycles many of the songs from it's last game and failed to bring other artists and new songs into this game. It's now easier to save the recording of your dancing if you have the PS4 or Xbox One. We liked how the PlayStation Camera for PlayStation 4 worked as great as Kinect, and that you don't need a PS Move or Wii remote controller like in PlayStation 3 or Wii/Wii U, respectively. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are better than the others, and feel less recycled.
