Just Dance 3 – review

This autumn/winter developers seem intent on getting players on their feet. More than 10 dance games are due for release – all aiming for the Christmas No 1. Whether Call of Duty 3 can be beaten to the top of the charts is beside the point. For those whose idea of fun gaming involves flailing limbs and bumping into furniture, what matters is choosing the right title. The Just Dance series dominates the genre and the third iteration maintains the quality. The emphasis, in both the music selection and relatively simple choreography, is on accessibility. This is a game best enjoyed with friends and most suited to large spaces. The range of multiplayer options is a little measly and those looking for an intricate single-player game might find this title underwhelming. However, across the formats, Just Dance 3 is responsive, well-made and perfectly suited to a winter's evening with friends or family.
