Just Dance 4 - Nintendo Wii U

These games are awesome! I had recently played them with some of the kids in my family while visiting, and ended up having to pick up my own copy. As someone who stays pretty active and works out, I like the idea of games like this that get you moving. Yet, they are so fun, that it doesn't feel like a workout. You learn dance moves to popular songs. It has a pretty decent variety of moves and artists. Even some of the lazier, how to say this nicely... not so thin kids in my family have been playing it and enjoying it. I will definitely be picking up some of the other versions of Just Dance in the future. Great for those who can't make it to the gym, and some of the songs have lower intensity levels for beginners.

I'm playing this game with lupus and inflammatory arthritis. I can't do all the moves. I will never be able to do all the moves, but I have a really good time doing what I can. The Just Sweat mode is a lot harder than it was on Just Dance 3. Instead of being able to pick a goal and then pick your way through the songs you like, this one has you commit to an amount of time (up to 45 minutes, give or take) and pick a style (cheerleader, martial arts, salsa, etc.) and then it blasts you through alternating dance sessions and workout sessions (dance - kick box - dance - kick box - like that). It's more like a traditional work out video in that respect. As for the Just Dance function, I have arthritis in my hips and spine, so, as I stated above, I cannot do all of the moves. But you can get through the Wii U version of this game without being able to do all of the steps as long as you can do a pretty good approximation of the arm stuff. And it's really fun, even for an old geezer like me. My 12 year old son refuses to play it with me. He's pretty mortified at the very thought that I *dance* *at* *all* - so watching me do it isn't high on his to do list. He's also kind of a little rock snob, and this game does seem to have an even higher concentration of dance-y, disco-y new music than Just Dance 3 had, so I probably wouldn't recommend this as a gift for the little metalhead in your life - stick with Rock Band for that one. I still highly recommend it for anyone who needs to exercise but gets bored easily. P.S. There's no training mode for this game and no way to back up in the middle of a song. If you want to practice/learn the steps, and you're slow like me, you can go to youtube and search for videos. Watch them and rewind to your heart's content. Then, pop in your game and head to town.

Great family fun! There is something in there for any age group! Great dance moves and great work out/fitness aspects for the adults. But also - excellent fun for my two kids of 5 &7 who can not stop dancing with the stars of Just Dance 4, they either compete with each other or set special option to compete with an animated person ..... Great choice of music - major, relatively new hits mixed with some old hits. Absolutely great choice of Wii activity for anybody and everybody! Strongly recommend it!

While I am not specifically a fan of any of the consoles currently available I did feel that this game would have benefit more from technology like XBox's Kinect but only because of how it tracks your energy level and movement. It only tracks your movement by the Wii controller (not the WiiU controller) and so at any point all you have to do is wave your hand back and forth and suddenly you're gaining points.. the calorie counter confuses me based on this but I know better than to assume that's actually correct! But, based on the graphics, the replayability and the selection of songs (which was unfortunately too poppy for me but still overall a lot of fun to dance to) it was enough fun for 3 stars. If they could figure out some way to utilize my WiiU controller (maybe a belt clip-on?) then stars will be added. Oh and you have noooo idea how to play at first.. it doesn't offer tutorials and you're just kind of shoved into the game waving your arms about like a moron until you've figured it out or learned the dance moves. I think the point of this game is just to get you moving though.. if that's the case, great job! If you're trying to get more out of it like the old DDR games.. look eslewhere.

JD4 is a fun game with new songs. These series of games encourage kids (and me!) to get up and exercise while having fun. This game has been a ton of fun for the entire family. We love the "Strike A Pose" feature. The songs are definitely geared towards teen/tween but for the sake of family fun and exercise - we all play along! The Just Dance line of games are a brilliant way to make exercise fun! I would definitely recommend this game to others.

This wouldn't be such a big deal, but it was a gift and it was from Santa, so the explanation and resolution was not as easy as it could have been. Also, since the seller was not Amazon directly, there was no replacement available, only a refund, which meant that even after all the trouble, I could not get the product at the lower price that I had thought I would get. Caveat emptor probably applies, so I will just be more careful what sellers I buy from in the future. Once we got the game form a different source, it was a hit with my 6.5 year old daughter. It's definitely a work out when she asks me to play with her.

Writing this Review under my husbands account. I ordered this game in my attempts to be more active. I already own a Fitbit Charge HR which really comes in handy when playing this game as I can track my heart rate. I like a majority of the songs in this game, however there are a few I could do without. I do wish that the DLC(downloadable content) was free or at a cheaper price. This game keeps me moving and helps me exercise without even realizing it. It's fun, quirky, and will make you sweat. You can play alone or in a group, it's a fun game and will continue to purchase different versions of the Just Dance games.

I really love this game! It's good for a quick workout. And, if anyone tries to tell you it's not a workout, then they're not doing it right. Sure, if you wanted, then you could cheat the system - but you're only cheating yourself. It's a great way to have some fun, and burn some calories while doing so. Is it the only workout you should do, no, but it's definitely something you can do to get active.

Los juegos de Just Dance siempre han sido divertidos, ademas con el modo Just Swet, puedes usarlo como rutina de ejercicio, trae varias canciones que ya son clasicos, aunque varias otras que no conocia, pero ya me gustaron, en general creo que es buen juego

This game arrived early. It was is excellent condition and the seller even provided a $2 coupon for my next purchase with them. I was also happy with the price. These Just Dance games are fun for the whole family. My 11 year old daughter loves them, and so do a lot of her friends.

Compre este juego y cual es mi sorpresa que al utilizarlo estaba en blanco. Osea no estaba grabado. No lo devolví porque me di cuenta después. Ya que estaba de viaje y lo no probé en su momento. No lo recomiendo

First time playing the Just Dance game series and I'm seriously impressed. Nw I understand why it's such a hit! The Wii U seems to have the most comprehensive features as well. Overall excellent experience! I picked 4 based on my research of the Just Dance songs in each game and 4 had the most I knew/liked.
