MY THOUGHTS:

First let me say Just Dance 2 kicked my butt!  I can do about five songs before I am worn out!  I have never played a dancing game on the Wii before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it definitely wasn’t so much fun!  I love the music which definitely made it easy to get up and start moving.  First off you choose the game mode you want:  Classic, Royal Flush, Duet, Simon Says, Medley or Race.  There is also a Just Sweat option which lets you choose how often and how many songs you want to dance to each day for a dance workout.  It even has a a sweat gauge to check out! There is also nothing special that you need to buy to play.  I don’t have Just Dance 1 and it didn’t matter.  All you need to play Just Dance 2 is your Nintendo Wii and a controller (not even the nunchuk.)

Don’t want to dance to the whole song?  Check out the Short Version of the song which is about half the time.  I have been doing the Just Sweat every day and my favorite is the regular Just Dance version.  I turn on the game pick a song and start dancing.  I will admit that I can only get one star for my dancing skills (yes it is out of five stars.)  It is my motivation though to keep playing since I am determined to get more stars!  I also love all the songs and since there are so many to choose from and ways to play, I dont’ think I will be bored anytime soon!  You can also choose to have the words of the song on the screen.

The best part though about Just Dance 2 is that is a Pay & Play Game, if you have your Nintendo hooked up to an Internet connection.  What that means is that you can download additional songs for a fee.  I noticed most songs cost about 300 Wii Points, which is only a few dollars.  I did though find the Kate Perry song “Firework” for Free!  I think it is awesome that you can expand the song list to songs you choose without necessarily buying  a whole new game/disc.  Sometimes there is just that one song you want and now you can get it. 

BUY IT: Look for “Just Dance 2” wherever video games are sold or check it out on Amazon for $29.99 (Wii).
