Just Dance 2017 Reviews

I bought this game on sale for 75% off. Not a bad deal, since you have a three month trial free access for Just Dance Unlimited, although I don't get to play it that much but I was satisfied. Just dance 2017 is a lot of fun, and is actually good for exercise. Just don't buy it on full price though.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. After I paid $55 to access the game, they removed 2/3 of the content in an update requiring you to pay a subcription to gain access to the songs you already paid for

Don't buy the Unlimited DLC for this game - even through the game. Unlimited doesn't work for Just Dance 2017 but they will still sell it to you - and they won't give you a refund.

I think I am the first person to leave a review on this in English, so I better make it good. Historically, we have enjoyed a bit of competative time on Just Dance on the Wii at family events like Christmas. It is always a good laugh, especially with a drink or two. The team dances where you accidentally nudge eachother with the remotes or trip over one another, are particularly entertaining for the audience. Just when you think you are starting to get the hang of the dance, the moves of the song imply you are supposed to be facing one another, and you realise that your best mate is doing something completely different to you. When it comes to this version of Just Dance, on the PC, I am actually quite impressed at how seamless the integration is with the phone is. It seems to pick up the movements very well with little latency. My computer is plugged in to my router, and my Samsung Galaxy S7 works really well with the app over Wifi. (I am yet to try this on a lower-end device such as a Lenovo Warrior). The game also pulled trick on me whereby it managed to record me 'dancing' to the very first song I tried with the camera. I hadn't realised that this nifty feature existed until it played back some of my moves at fast pace at the end of the dance. *I haven't come across any bugs for this game, but I ought to let you know that it doesn't work with triple monitors (in case you were wondering). Also, an nvidia 1080 can definitely run it at 1080p with 144 fps. A downside for me is that in the 'About this Game' section it mentions a 3-month trial, yet I never received this trial to the Just Dance Unlimited. EDITED 28/10/16 18:47: I logged back into the game today, and it appears that as a result of getting in touch with Ubisoft Support, I have been given the 92 days of Just Dance Unlimited subscription promised in the description of the game. I have counted, and the number of songs that come with the game is 41, but there are aditionally skinned variations of the same songs on top of that. The Just Dance Unlimited service seems to work quite well, but it does appear to download the songs as and when you choose to play them for the first time. Being on a relatively fast fibre connection does mean that loading times were minimal and almost look like the game is just taking that little bit longer to load, so they are disguised quite well, but you do sometimes get met with a low res rendering of the song at first while it plays catch-up with the loading.

It's fun, but it's dead. As of the launch of Just Dance 2019, every game prior to it will stop getting Just Dance Unlimited updates, and that was the only thing keeping this game alive. I don't understand why they won't bring new entries to PC. This is a terrible port, but it mostly works. They could do the same terrible job on the new ones and I would gladly buy it, but they won't, citing "Just Dance Now is better for the PC audience". JDNow is a horrible, glitched, micro-transaction infestated, f(r)ee-to-play, mobile/browser version of Just Dance. No one with a brain would choose that over the legitimate game. Maybe I feel this way since I've been playing Just Dance since 2011 and I've already experienced everything Unlimited has to offer, and I definitely don't wanna get a console just for this. If you wanna get up shake your ass from time to time, sure, go for it. But get it on sale.

1. Buy game 2. Burn 900+ calories a day 3. ??? 4. Profit The app works well as long as you don't hit your family in the head while you are playing and drop your phone. My advice is to play on carpet and hold on tight. Ended up buying a 12 month subscription to Unlimited the day I got it because I had that much fun dancing around my room like a total moron. Wish there was a few more new songs but a small sacrifice for a game that keeps you entertained for hours. The app makes it easy for everyone to play because who doesn't have a smart phone these days. First day I played my sister came in for a while and had a go, this morning it was my sons turn. I can see this will become a regular family event now in this house.

Just Dance 2017 is an end-of-life product. It's no longer supported by the producers, Ubisoft, and there's is no way to use or interact with the Just Dance Unlimited DLC even if you're eligible for it. The product description still reads "..updated content all year long, and access to 200+ songs through Just Dance Unlimited! A 3-month trial is including with every new copy" but this is a patently false claim. It's a busted product, a rotting hulk in a scrapyard that's still being sold at market rates and definitely in violation of consumer laws in most countries. Valve and Steam need to clean house and stop this misleading product being sold through their shopfront. As of writing, it's still being marketed during the Steam Autumn 2020 sale.

[h1]Is this game dead?[/h1] Online is dead, but the game itself is not. And it is purely because of mods. [b]You can transform it into Just Dance 2022 with a mod (and JD Unlimited works too!)[/b]. The mod adds the songs from all the new titles and makes the game look like JD22. You can send me a message if you can't find/install it. [h1]How is the tracking?[/h1] I once had a Kinect but it was so long ago that I honestly do not remember the experience. If you're wondering, there's no way to play Just Dance on PC with a Kinect. Surprisingly, though, it is quite playable even with a phone. Some songs are broken and sometimes it would just randomly give you OK. Especially when doing slow movements. Apart from that, [b]it is possible to get Megastars (best ranking there is) with a phone[/b] [h1]Is it better than JD Now?[/h1] I would say yes. The first reason is that Just Dance Now has significantly less songs. The second reason is that your phone sends movements to JD Now servers and that introduces latency making the game less responsive. The only good thing about JD Now is collectibles and online [h1]Is it worth it?[/h1] If you have enough space, [b]this is a great party game[/b]. But [b]be aware of your surroundings![/b]

I love just dance and I really enjoyed playing it, for the first month I had it I haven't logged in for a few months and come back to see 26 out of my 32 favourite songs have been locked behind a paywall. on top of having to pay $50 for the game, I would have to pay for a subscription to play most of the songs, that I only had a month to do so before my trial ran up. I get that this is an oversite on my part for not looking into it before, but this just isn't something I would expect from a $50 game. just posting this here for anyone else who didn't know about this before purchasing.

steam says:"access to 200+ songs through Just Dance Unlimited! A 3-month trial is including with every new copy." but u don't get 90 days jdu u will contact the ubisoft support and they will say ubisoft support: Jasmine W: The unlimited subscription is only available of you have the gold edition of the game i don't know why ubisoft won't make it dlc insted of streaming service when thier servers can't handle it. ez refund:D to be fair it's good game but ubisoft and uplay ruined it.
