After its hugely successful predecessors, the third installment of the JUST DANCE series has arrived. It comes with tons of fun and it will make you sweat while having it. If you are or feeling young, if you want to get your kids out of the couch or if you want to burn calories yourself, this is the game for you.

A MODE FOR EVERYONE
On top of the good old Classic Mode, fans of the series will be able to enjoy their favorite exergame in numerous different ways.
Duet Mode & Simon Says: Duet and group dances as well as the dance version of Simon Says make JD3 a good idea for parties and sleepovers. If, like me, you are over 35, this also offers the opportunity for numerous very humiliating experiences with your young ones.
Medley, Non-Stop Shuffle & Just Sweat: Very good for getting your heart rate up and keeping it in the aerobic range for as long as you can handle it, without interruptions. If you are really pumped, try giving the Dance Til Dawn Mode a try...

INCENTIVES
But the game is all carrot, no stick. The better you match the song's moves, the more points you accumulate (not to mention getting the background to animate!). The more points you have, the more mojo you are attributed. And the more mojo you `ve got, the more modes and songs become available to you.

IMPROVEMENTS
Graphics received a boost, in both details and backgrounds. You prefer singing to dancing? No problem, JD3 comes with all the lyrics showing on the screen for you to accompany your favorite group or singer (no, no points for turning this dancing game into a karaoke but who cares, right?).

NEW SONGS
If truth be told at first glance I liked the song collection of JD2 better. However, I think this will keep happening with every new installment of the series. These games just grow on you. You are having so much fun that the new songs will simply become as dear to you as your old favorites. Give it time.
So, yes, the song list may not contain the latest hits but it has some very uplifting dance songs and your list can be enriched online (although not cheaply).

Sure, the Wii may not be the most graphically impressive console. But that never stopped it from offering games that are more fun to experience. Without cameras to constrain you or complicated controls to learn, JD3 on the Wii is a great game for the young of all ages.

RECOMMENDED!

Great product and fast shipping! Awesome game for those who are shy to try Zumba in a gym setting. Or even just have a stay in night with friends and play the game. I hooked it up to the internet and got lots of updates and free new songs!!! Me and my son had a blast playing together and you tend to forget that you are exercising too!

Were hooked on the workout options!! Motivating and keeps you focused!! We use the workouts daily and love the results!!

I'm a dad and I didn't even like some of these songs when I had heard them before but this game is so much fun. I haven't danced like this in ages--I work up a good sweat sometimes. Chasing the high score takes concentration and timing. The whole family enjoys it. We even played this at a party with a bunch of women over 40 and they all got into it.

Very fun game for Wii. The system seems quite reasonable in sensing the accuracy of your moves with the character on screen and lots of fun songs to dance to.

This is a great program with good variation of songs. I have not downloaded new songs but hope to soon.
Arrive before Christmas which was appreciated.

I ordered this by mistake. I had intended to purchase Just Dance 4 instead. I returned this one and replaced it with the new one.

It is super fun and a huge hit. Had people visiting of all ages and everyone was able to understand and play the game. Lots of fun.

I love this game, makes working out fun! I have Just Dance 2,3 and 4 and dance until I have sweat dripping down my face. Great way to get some exercise at home and the songs are awesome.

My family had so much fun with the songs and cool moves. I even recommended the game to my friends. After a few use, though, the disc stopped working. We got error messages every 10 seconds. I phoned Ubisoft but the person I talked to was pointing to Amazon.ca. It is so frustrating!
