![]() Like any rhythm game, you have to keep a timing to the beat, which is easier said than done with motion controls, but despite this I found it shockingly easy to get three stars on my first attempts of a song, save for some harder difficulty ones that have a faster tempo to them. Move your joy-con arm in time with the music, and then shift it to the directions indicated to you in the bottom-right corner of the screen. I already mentioned above that for the most part, it is stuff I’m unfamiliar with, but the base game does include something I was: a very catchy remix of the Pac-Man theme! It’s cute, it has funny costumed ghosts, and it was a pretty great way for me to get used to the gameplay… Which is motion-focused and pretty typical. ![]() (Disney songs are in unlimited, from the Just Dance Disney Party series, but not those other two) So to me, about 97% of the tracklist is 100% unknown to me! There are at least a few foreign songs in this year’s entry, though, but even those were unfamiliar, and I didn’t find many of them to be that great, unfortunately. ![]() American vocal music? I absolutely have avoided most of my life, outside of like, oddities my Mom’s side of the family listened to, like Only Time, a few Disney songs, and classics like Over the Rainbow. Various genres, with songs across the ages, although a majority of them are modern, with the title pretty much giving away a portion of the focus: yes, hit songs from the year 2019.īut I know why you’re reading this in the year 2021: You wanna see what a music newbie thought of this game, right? Indeed, I’ve had a fair share of playing music games… with VGM or J-Pop in them. Here’s a more concise answer: Out of the box JD2019 includes a decent amount of tracks to play through. OK, that’s too simplified of an explanation. The main goal of Just Dance 2019 is to… Well, dance! ![]() Or you could subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited and play pretty much anything in the franchise, which they really seem to push a lot here… That being said, this game still has a few instrumental songs, the most notable for me being a rendition of the Pac-Man theme from the arcades, complete with cute costumes replacing the silouettes, and I ended up stumbling across a few vocal tracks that I didn’t find all that bad, and actually grew on me! It really just is up to you to look at the tracklist, and make your own choices. (The unlimited plan does include a few foreign songs that I found appealing, however) As noted above, I have completely foreign tastes in music, and thus most things i’m into (J-Pop and instrumental songs) are just not at all here, nor will they be. Yes, that means like with most music games, it’s the quality of the included soundtrack that makes or breaks the presentation, and when it comes to Just Dance 2019, it’s a weird one, one that honestly led to me struggling with this review for a variety of reasons. (Which I simply advise you to not do at all) But really, the visuals aren’t much to write home about, and get the job done here just as well as they did with the original Wii installment, with a vibrant art style and snappy UI. ![]() It looks fine in HD, and it looks OK on the handheld, even though you won’t be able to play it that way unless you detach the controllers and use it as a mini-screen. Just Dance is one of those series that if you’ve played one, you’ve pretty much played them all: each song takes place with a silhouette over a background, dancing in time to the music, with commands at the bottom of the screen indicating when you need to move your controller to the music, and copy what’s on screen. To keep it short, I wanted to give Just Dance a go due to wanting to see what a newcomer’s POV would be like with it, but then I realized one aspect of the game just made the whole thing feel strange for me, and tough to write my thoughts down properly on: Then the 2019-2020 slowdowns happened and I’m just honestly wanting to finish what I promised so here’s a review of Just Dance 2019: AKA, the one with the funny Pac-Man dance. Thanks to Ubisoft for the review code Title: JUST DANCE 2019īeing a casual dance game for all, this obviously doesn’t have a story: yet this review does, due to the stupidly long time it took for me to get to finally finishing it, and readers may even wonder why I’m bothering in the first place for a game that was replaced by Just Dance 2020, 2021, and 2022 respectively. ![]()
