Yes, his face is familiar to us. She may have put on a bit of makeup, but Just Dance 2019 is hardly new compared to its past editions. Even so, and if you haven’t got on the dance floor for a long time, this may be the best moment, because for everything else, Just Dance is still unbeatable in moving the skeleton.
One of the aspects that I have always admired about Just Dance is its artistic style. The video clips included in each song are surprisingly different from each other, with colorful, animated and simply unmistakable choreographies. I think that if the series continues to hit hard, it is partly because of how careful its proposal is , because of how it manages to infect us with the passion for music in each of its editions.
The dilemma is whether the user should settle for interface changes and some additional novelty with each passing year. As I told you about the analysis of Just Dance 2018 , I think you can ask for more … In fact, it’s a shame that I have to repeat myself, because we are facing the same problem: an overwhelming lack of innovation . Although Just Dance 2019 is a strong recommendation for newcomers, those who have already played previous titles will have to weigh very well if they are interested in taking a step forward. The news are minimal and of little importance.
The main thing is that it incorporates more than 40 new songs and that the Just Dance Unlimited catalog is already over 400 songs. Overwhelming numbers, that’s the truth. If you want to dance, there are few such complete options. However, that’s it. The interface has been renewed, the cleanest I can remember, and then everything is designed so that – to a certain extent – you can enjoy your own experience, with personalized recommendations that take into account what you dance to the most. But it is insufficient, more in a license that can allow itself not only to innovate, but to contribute interesting news. For a game that is a reference in the dance genre , it is not much to ask.
Dance to the rhythm of your life. Just Dance 2019 Songs
New music, same sceneAs they say, music is a matter of taste, and while it is impossible for you to like all 40 songs equally, there is a good variety. Havana, Mad Love, I’m Still Standing, Sugar, Rhythm of the Night … and also nods to our industry, as is the case with the song by the mythical Pac-Man. The catalog will probably be scarce, and you have to sign up for Just Dance Unlimited if you want to enjoy Just Dance 2019 in full, with more than 400 songs from all times . The good thing is that there is a 30-day free trial, but if you want to extend it, you have to go to the cashier (25 euros per year).
The choreographies are very careful, and its representation as a video clip is still one of the best things about this license.
Criticism could come not because of this fact, but because 40 new songs per edition begins to become a small number. Outside of this, it should be noted that the choreographies are great, and following the steps becomes an absolute joy. The motion detection is simple but very effective , and we always have guidance on how we’re doing. The feedback that the user receives is accurate, with the option to count the calories we are consuming in each dance.
Beyond the musical themes, the news is minimalAlso, I have found that there is a greater emphasis on your progression as a dancer. You gain experience, you level up, you are rewarded for achievements and you receive Mojo points that you can exchange for gifts: avatars, illustrations and songs. All this creates a very satisfying feeling, because it encourages you to continue playing. The World Dance Floor mode also contributes to this , which invites us to compete against the number of users to see who reaches the top of the ranking. It is quite addictive. Without realizing it, you will be dancing one song after another.
Up to 6 participants can join in the games, making Just Dance an extraordinary party experience.
For this edition, the possibility of dancing using our mobile phone as a controller is maintained. This option allows up to 6 simultaneous players , and only requires the download of the Controller App. The downside is that this option is not available on Nintendo Switch. In return, users of this platform can experience HD vibration (adapted to choreographies) and tabletop mode , which can be useful to take the console to impromptu parties where we do not have a television available.
The Kids mode returns , now with 8 new choreographies designed for the little ones. For them there are a total of 40 songs, which is really good, with exponents like Jingle Bells, Angry Birds, Ghostbusters or Prince Ali. A secret: I have played them… and I think more than one adult will.
But what has been said: Just Dance 2019 could have made it more exciting. The renewal of the interface, now adapted to be more in contact with the community, has really been worked on. The new themes are appreciated, because they are still of quality, and in this edition the degree of difficulty is indicated before entering. However, there are very few news , insufficient to justify the return of last year’s users. I am sure that this franchise gives for more, but we will see it …
“Interesting”
Just Dance 2019
We could tell Just Dance 2019 that his face sounds familiar to us … maybe even too much. Ubisoft’s music video game has hardly any new features, beyond a renewed interface and the interest in personalizing your experience. However, it is still one of the most recommended games of the genre, with a brilliant execution and that will interest you especially if you have not gotten on its dance floor for a while.
- Brilliant execution, exemplary performance: simple but very effective
- The presentation is still phenomenal, and this year even more
- Greater presence of the community, giving importance to online gaming
- Virtually non-existent news compared to the previous delivery
- 40 new songs start to make insufficient number
