Just Dance is the first videogame in the Just Dance series. It was released for the Wii on November 2009.

Overview

The gameplay for Just Dance involves players mimicking the character seen on the screen, earning points while doing so. (The ratings used are GREAT, OK, and X. Additionally, a Shake feature was featured on some routines that allowed players to earn many points for their score by following the character's motions while rocking the Wii Remotes continuously.) At the end, the player with the most points wins. During gameplay, players have the option of playing the full routine or a shortened version of the routine before the song starts.

Two main modes are included in Just Dance. Quick Play mode is designed for free play and friendly competition, allowing the players to dance to whatever song of their choosing from the list. Challenge mode on the other hand is designed for a real competition. The players can set a round of 1, or set rounds of 3, 5, or 10 and have the option to compete in different types of play to win the overall mode. In all there are three types of play for the players to pick for Challenge.

  • Classic: Acts in a similar fashion to Quick Play
  • Strike A Pose: This mode has the players needing to focus at their own gauges while dancing. Whenever the player has a Stop Sign on their gauge, they are suppose to freeze. When a Go Sign appears, they start dancing again. If the player moves while there's a Stop Sign, they will lose points. The player with the most points wins that round.
  • Last One Standing: Each player will get 7 hearts. Every move they do incorrectly causes them to lose one, but they can gain it back by getting 5 "GREAT" ratings in a row. When all of the hearts are gone, the player is eliminated. The last person remaining wins that round.

The player who wins the most rounds (or round if one round is chosen) is considered the winner of the mode.
