Just Dance 4

Just Dance 4  is a dance/rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the fourth installment in the series and the first to be released on the Wii U. The game was released on October 2nd, 2012 with the Wii U version being released on November 18th, 2012.

Gameplay
Players are judged on their ability to mimic dance moves performed by on-screen dancers. Players can choose the song they dance to and score is kept depending on the amount of accurate timings and movements.

New features and modes in Just Dance 4 include a dance battle mode, expansions to the game's Just Sweat mode, and unlockable bonus routines for specific songs.

Players can unlock 'Dance Quests', with each song having up to six missions that can be completed. To complete these quests, players would have to follow specific critera and movements to clear them.

Dancer Cards can be created by players which display their most frequently played songs, their highest scores, and online and offline challenges. Online leaderboards are available for the Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Another new feature is the new visual; The excess neon used on the clothes of the dancers previously have been removed, and clothes are shown in their natural, more realistic state. Backgrounds are also more detailed and animated, rather than the simple backgrounds used in previous games.

Just Dance 4 Special Edition
There is a special edition of the game which only adds one song; Umbrella by Rihanna, as well as an Alternate Version to the song can be unlocked in-game. However, the Special Edition is only for the PAL Wii due to Umbrella being on the default tracklist for all other consoles.

Wii U Version
The Wii U version of Just Dance 4 has its own special additions and features. For the first time in the series, a game mode can support up to 5 players at once. Puppet Master Mode allows four players to dance on-screen at once. The fifth player uses the Wii U Gamepad and becomes the Master of Ceremonies. The MC has the ability to switch dance routines in real time. The other four players must perform the moves decided by the MC.

The Wii U operator also has the ability to create custom choreographies and create playlists for other players. The Wii U controller allows for on-screen writing, which can be used for live dedications or taking pictures/videos of the dance moments.

Also, 3 songs are included, Ain't No Other Man, Domino and Want U Back.

Trivia

 * When opening up the game box and looking at the DLC paper, it is shown to contain fake DLC's like Brand New Start which has the Jungle Drum dancer, Alright and Katti Kalandal.
 * This probably is because the first DLC released was Part Of Me and only that song.
 * This is the last game to have a Britney Spears song in a row, as they have appeared in all the Just Dance game series except for Just Dance 2014.
 * On the PlayStation 3, if there's DLC, the scores won't be seen next to the dancer like in the other consoles, they have to be seen in the leader board.
 * Effort ratings have been removed.
 * The PAL special edition Just Dance 4 comes with Umbrella as it's bonus song
 * Battle Mode was first introduced in the main series.
 * On the Wii U boxart, Umbrella and Moves Like Jagger look different than in the game.
 * This game is the one which has the most new choreos. In fact, there are:
 * 50 classic routines.
 * 10 alternate routines.
 * 16 non-recycled DLCs.
 * A variety of Sweat choreos.
