Rating Summary: This is a rhythm-and-dance simulation game in which players perform dance routines to the music of Abba. Players score points by accurately moving their bodies in time with the music and scrolling indicators. Some song lyrics contain references to suggestive material (e.g., “Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher,” “Love-makin' in a park,” “I can see what you want/But you seem pretty young/To be searching for that kind of fun”). The game also includes photo galleries that depict band/crew members holding cigarettes.
Trivia[]
- The Just Dance 2 Gold Move sound effect is used in this game.
- Also, Gold Moves display "GOLD MOVE" in the score area (instead of "YEAH") when they are performed correctly.
- In this game, Dance Crew routines do not show any pictograms, regardless of the coach the player selected.
- Some songs from this game were found in the files of Just Dance Now and Just Dance Unlimited. They were finally released on March 23, 2018 and July 4, 2018.
- The graphics are similar to the Wii version of Michael Jackson: The Experience, and the only differences are the font and the look of the menu.
- In the .json files for the routines that reappear in Just Dance Unlimited and Now, the original game is displayed as "4884", because those digits resemble the letters of the name "ABBA".[1]
- "4884" is also displayed on the golden label that appears on the menu icons of Just Dance Unlimited via Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance 2017.
- ABBA: You Can Dance was licensed by Polar Music.
- This is the only game in the Just Dance franchise developed by Ubisoft Bucharest which has a Romanian language option.
- Thank You For The Music plays during the credits, despite not being a playable track in-game.[2]
- Most backgrounds use footage from the song's music videos.
- None of the routines with Mini Musical Modes have Gold Moves.
- Text that is out of view in the song selection menu shows the number of dancers for each of the songs.
- The beginning of Mamma Mia is used in the game's splash screen on the Wii menu.
