Just Dance 3 is the third game in the Just Dance series. It was released for the Wii and Xbox 360 on October 2011. (7 for North America and 11 for Australia and Europe) and for the PlayStation 3 on December 2011. (6 for North America, 8 for Australia, and 9 for Europe)

A few more editions of the game were also released; one being a Best Buy Edition released in the North America that includes two new songs, another being a Special Edition released in Europe and Australia that included those same songs, and the last one being a Target/Zellers edition released in North America which featured two songs that are new and different from the other versions.

When the game first launched, online functionality was available. However on November 11, 2017, said functionality was disabled, making some features no longer available to do or complete.

Overview

In the Just Dance series, players compete against each other for recreational victory by following on-screen coaches doing dance routines. Each routine tracks the player's attempt in following it throughout, and grants points based on how well they did. The player who ends up with the highest score is deemed the winner.

The game is splits into two tabs: Just Dance and Just Sweat, with Just Dance being the standard mode for competition and Just Sweat being the workout mode for fitness. Playing through songs earns Mojo, and the Mojo is filled up in a gauge that when filled, unlocks a new piece of content for the game, ranging from alternate dances to modes. One of the types of unlockable content Mojo provides are Mashups, a mixture of performances combined to form one dance. Both modes have three separate tabs within them, separating them into the songs available, playlists, which include the uninterrupted Shuffle options for full and shortened routines, and the unlockable playable gifts when filling up the gauge.

The Xbox 360 copy includes a Just Create mode. In Just Create, players could make their own choreographies to songs in the game and, if available, could send them out to the world for others to download and play them. A smaller mode is included in Just Create that allows players to mix their own moves into premade routines.

Tracking

The game uses a motion controller to track player's movements in the PlayStation 3 and Wii renditions using a PlayStation Move Controller and a Wii Remote respectively. The Xbox 360 rendition uses the Kinect to track. In the same rendition, the player has an option of letting the Kinect track the top half of their body (labaled as "Easy" mode) or their whole body. (labeled as "Medium" mode)

Downloadable Content

The game offers downloadable content for players to purchase on the Wii and Xbox 360 renditions, through the in-game shop on both renditions as well as the Xbox Games Store for the Xbox 360 rendition, however they are no longer available on the Wii rendition due to the shop closing and the currency system (Wii Points) being out-of-use.

Ubisoft Club

The Ubisoft Club (formerly known as UPlay) is a program where players can earn rewards for games by completing tasks and earning Ubisoft Club Points for them. Just Dance 3 utilizes the Ubisoft Club, though it has since been disabled from the shutdown. Below is a list of rewards that were available for Just Dance 3. For information on the tasks, view Just Dance 3/Ubisoft Club.

The Xbox 360 was the only rendition to utilize the Ubisoft Club. However, most of the rewards could still be obtained through other means for the Wii and PlayStation 3 renditions. Unlike the Ubisoft Club method, these are still open for the player to obtain if they had not been obtained.
