A definite step up from the previous games in the franchise and offers much more to players.

Just Dance 2017 is a massive step in the right direction.

There are no significant changes for Just Dance 2017, it's basically the same formula we know, with additional and quite rich Unlimited catalog and an extra mode for current-gen versions. The real difference is made by the playlist employed. In order to maximize the potential of the Ubisoft product you need to lean on subscription.

Just Dance 2017 fine-tunes the series mechanics with an updated tracklist but without adding great new features; it's still a very good party game, while it won't satisfy those willing to play it solo.

As fun as only Just Dance can be, this game is a great example of what this series does well... But doesn't include any real changes or new features.

A very predictable update to a long-running series of dancing games that shines in visual design and unique choreography but is very loose with its tracking of your body movements. It’s not going to teach you to be a professional dancer, and it honestly doesn’t really teach you how to be good at Just Dance itself. That said, it’s still a whole lot of fun to play, and the songs that aren’t locked behind a paywall are varied and, largely, recognisable.

For those who give into the temptation to buy this release, it’s thankfully a marked improvement over its predecessor. The songs are well-curated and of good quality, there’s a new (albeit throwaway) mode and the visuals and dance moves are more refined. It’s just a shame that Ubisoft is forcing consumers to buy both a physical release and subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited when they need to focus entirely on the latter.
