Just Dance 2015 is the sixth installment in the Just Dance series. The game returns to the Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. It was released on October 21, 2014 in the NTSC region and on October 23, 2014 in the PAL region.
This is the second game in which a year instead of the game installment number was used in the game name; the first was its predecessor, Just Dance 2014.
In 2015, a Chinese version of the game, featuring new Chinese tracks in addition to the main Just Dance 2015 catalogue, was released in China for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Gameplay
As with the previous games, the aim of the game is to follow the on-screen dancer’s moves, either with the use of a handheld remote (Wii, Wii U, PS3, and PS4) or a camera (Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PS4). There is a smartphone app called Just Dance Now, that tracks player moves by the phone as shown in E3 Ubisoft Conference Demo, and was released on September 25, 2014. A separate app was also released one day before Just Dance Now - it is called the Just Dance 2015 Controller App, and it allows players to dance using their iOS or Android phone as their scoring device. This app is only compatible with Xbox One and PS4.
- Party Master Mode has returned to the Wii U but it did not return to the Xbox 360 or Xbox One.
- Sweat Routines, Mashups, Non-Stop Shuffle (after its absence in the previous installment), and Extreme Versions, Alternate Routines, and Sweat Mashups also returned.
- With the new Community Remix feature, you can be the coach in Just Dance! Record yourself dancing to one of the tracks with your console camera and share it in-game for other members of the community to vote on. The Just Dance development team will then create a playable remixed gameplay that other players can dance along to!
- Challenge people around the world using the Challenge Mode feature. The great thing about this is players do not have to be online at the same time to challenge each other. Even when not playing at the same time, with the new Challenger Mode feature you can dance and score against previous performances of other players — from friends and family to top-ranked Just Dancers.
- Just Dance Wall also enables you to share your stats and wildest dance performances, vote on other fans videos, make friends, collaborate, and more!
- World Dance Floor online multiplayer mode, dance with anyone anywhere in the world, join a virtual dance crew, compete on different themes, and check fun stats and rankings!
- With the Karaoke mode, you can sing along to the song by following lyrics displayed on screen. You can take it seriously and show off how talented you are, or just goof off with friends.
- The upgraded Autodance™ feature records players while they are dancing to create short, funny and shareable videos. Autodance videos are now automatically generated while you are dancing, so you can instantly share it once the song is finished! For the Xbox 360 version, you will need a hard drive to have this feature.

Menu and Design
Similar to Just Dance 2014, Just Dance 2015 has remade the menu to be modern and simple but unique for the players to scroll through. Party Master Mode is now placed at the bottom of the tracklist (rather than in the routine menu, as opposed to the previous game); Sweat Mode, instead, is now replaced by a Playlist button, which offers selections of up to ten randomly-picked routines and a calories counter that can be activated to keep track of the players’ progress. The World Dance Floor is now found at the bottom of the screen, and the JD Wall is found at the top. Difficulties have been removed from the game. At the start screen, players are now be able to access Ubisoft Club by pressing a button on the controller ("+" button for Wii U, "X" button on Xbox 360/Xbox One, and the square button on PS3/PS4). Another way to access Ubisoft Club is by going to the Extras/Options menu. This template would later be used as the 7th-Gen menus for every following game.

Reception
Critical Reception
Just Dance 2015 received mixed-to-positive reviews by critics; Metacritic lists the Xbox One version of the game with an aggregate score of 70 out of 100 based on 17 critic reviews.[1]
Zack Stein of IGN gave the Xbox One version of Just Dance 2015 an 8.0 out of 10; describing the game as "a welcome, surprising reinvigoration of the series", Stein praised the game for continuing to provide an overall experience catered to a casual audience, jump-in multiplayer, along with improved Kinect motion tracking in-game, and the higher-quality production of the per-song background videos, but criticized the user interface for being "as confusing and frustrating as ever" due to irregular design choices and behaviors. In conclusion, Stein felt that "It would be easy to dismiss Just Dance 2015 as the 'same-old-same-old,' but that would overlook this finely tuned party game’s special-effects-laden dance numbers, complete with chorus lines and elaborate sets and costumes, and the social integration that holds the worldwide Just Dance community together."[2]
Game Revolution, giving the game a 3 out of 5, felt that the game’s soundtrack was "high-energy" albeit catered to a casual audience, noting that "singles like Pharrell’s Happy provide a strong pop basis while oddballs like a Tetris track or an unfortunately obnoxious song about a fox explore the far reaches of danceable contemporary music." Still, Just Dance 2015 was praised for its forgiving motion detection and multiplayer experience, concluding that "of my own preferences regarding the music genre, dancing remains somewhere out of the lead when it comes to interacting with sound and visuals, though Just Dance 2015 hits on every requirement I have from anything asking me to move my feet without a pad to stomp on."[3]
Steve Hannley of Hardcore Gamer was more critical of Just Dance 2015, arguing that it did not provide enough differentiation over Just Dance 2014 to be described as anything more than a "track pack". Hannley felt that the game’s social features, although well-designed, would not appeal to what he believed was the game’s target audience (those playing the game for exercise, not wanting to dance in public, or are "underage"). The game’s soundtrack was also criticized for being the worst in series history for "clearly catering to teeny boppers and in doing so [leaving] out practically anybody older than 21 with decent taste in music", and containing fewer "good" songs than 2014. In conclusion, giving the game a 3 out of 5, Hannley argued that "Just Dance is a series that’s hard to hate as it genuinely wants players to have a good time, but 2015 is a misstep. Hardly anything has changed and practically nothing has for those who don’t partake in the online functionality".[4]
This is a comprehensive list of the critical statistics of Just Dance 2015, according to Metacritic.

Trivia
- Just Dance 2015 is the first Just Dance game since Just Dance 3 to be released in the United States and Canada/NTSC region before Europe and Australia/PAL region.
- Just Dance 2015 marks the second time none of the coaches who appear on the PAL boxart have been left unused, after Just Dance.
- With only 42 songs, Just Dance 2015 is tied with Just Dance 2024 Edition for the third smallest tracklist in the main series, after Just Dance (32) and Just Dance 2017 (40).
- Just Dance 2015 is the first game in the main series where trios appear as Classic routines.
- Just Dance 2015 is the first game in the series to have themed Mashups.
- Just Dance 2015 marks the second time the lyrics are displayed on the middle of the screen rather than on the bottom left side (specifically, in Ain’t No Mountain High Enough).
- This happens because the routine is labeled as a "Sing-Along", thus using the same lyrics set from Just Dance 2014’s On-Stage Mode.
- This way of displaying lyrics was first used in the Duets of Just Dance 2 and Just Dance Wii.

- Just Dance 2015 is the first game since Just Dance 4 to feature more than one all-female Dance Crew.
- Just Dance 2015 holds the record for introducing the fewest captions for its own new dancers. This could be attributed to the fact that there are only five Party Master Modes in the game.
- Just Dance 2015 is the last game to have downloadable content.
- This is because of the Just Dance Unlimited subscription service, which was introduced with the launch of the next game.
- Just Dance 2015 is the first game since Just Dance to not receive a nomination for a Kids’ Choice Award.
- Just Dance 2015 is the only game to have a downloadable routine that was released later on a certain console: specifically, Let It Go (Sing-Along) had a delayed release on the Xbox One.
- Since its absence in Just Dance 4 and Just Dance 2014, Duet Mashups return in this installment. Dance Crew Mashups are also introduced in this game.
- The Battle Mode and On-Stage Mode do not return in this game.
- On-Stage Mode would later return as Sing-Along routines in Just Dance Unlimited.
- When an Alternate routine is unlocked, a message announcing its availability is shown. Here are the messages attributed to each of the following alternate routines:
- The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?): "Feel like sleeping in the tent?"
- Happy: "Ready to sing like a crooner?"
- Diamonds: "Find out how you can dance while sitting!"
- I Love It: "Ready for the changing of the Guards?"
- Bad Romance: "Are you ready for the hardest Just Dance song ever?"
- Walk This Way: "Are you old school?"
- It’s My Birthday: "Ready to celebrate your birthday in India?"

- American Girl and Can’t Hold Us appear in the manual describing how to purchase downloadable tracks.
- On the Wii version of Just Dance 2015, there is a glitch where an avatar that has the price of five or twenty Mojo Coins will have its price changed to fifty Mojo Coins. The glitch will continue on to the next avatar unless the game has been reset after the said avatar has been purchased. Later copies of the game may have this bug fixed.
- In the Xbox One version, since the console was updated to the New Xbox One Experience, which upgrades Windows 8 to Windows 10, there is a known bug that happens when the Xbox One console is set online. This makes the frame rate, video, and UI choppy.
- If saved data from the previous Just Dance games is found by Just Dance 2015, the avatars for the following tracks are unlocked:
- Just Dance 2015 is a Nintendo Selects title on the original Wii.
- The game is also a Best Seller title on PAL Xbox 360 copies.
- In some maps, the HUD is now hidden (except for the lyrics, karaoke feedback, and pictograms, as well as the party list in the World Dance Floor mode and the camera display when recording a video for the Community Remix on all platforms besides the Wii) during the first few seconds.
- In some cases, the HUD already appears before it can be displayed properly.
- There is a rare bug that affects the cursor: although its arrow is directed to the right, it may sometimes point left.
- There is a rare glitch that can happen on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One version of the game: when playing two songs in a row outside of the Sweat and Playlists mode, if one walks on screen immediately after starting the second song and end up in the same slot as the song before, they will start with the same amount of stars as you received in the first song, with the ones before it blank and unreceived. The scoring still does not exceed 13,333 points.[8]
- The Gold Move effect from this game is used in all subsequent games on all 7th-Generation consoles, up until Just Dance 2020 on the Wii, since all assets from this game are used. In Just Dance 2016, this extends to 8th-Generation consoles.
- In the Wii version, lyric highlighting is very choppy due to the 30fps lock that was originally used in Just Dance 2014.
- Also, the Wii version can play Star sound effects simultaneously. This would happen if up to 4 players earn the same or a different Star at the same time or as a chain for up to 4 times. On other consoles, it could cut off and play for the next player. This would later apply to future main Just Dance games that have 7th Gen console versions.
- When live streaming on PS4, when the PS Camera capture is enabled, it updates at 30fps. This would also apply to future main Just Dance games on that system up unto Just Dance 2022. As in Just Dance 2014, sound effects that were used on the Wii Remote play in high quality, as in which is played on a DualShock 4 controller.

On other consoles, it could cut off and play for the next player. This would later apply to future main Just Dance games that have 7th Gen console versions.
- As of November 19, 2018, the server the game connects to in order to offer online functionality was disabled, along with the servers for Just Dance 2014 and the 7th-Generation versions of Just Dance 2016, Just Dance 2017, and Just Dance 2018.[9] The features affected by this are the World Dance Floor, sending and receiving challenges, redeeming Ubisoft Club content, unlocking month exclusive Mashups, the in-game shop (DLCs are still available on Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network but DLCs are not longer available via Nintendo eShop), VIP routines, and Community Remixes (except the one for Happy, which is already included on-disc).
- Due to this, newer versions of the controller app removed the ability to use a smartphone as a controller in the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game. However, it is still possible to use a smartphone if the user is using an older version of the app, as it uses a different online connection than the one to Ubisoft’s server.[10]
- As Ubisoft Club rewards and month exclusive Mashups are already included on the game disc, the player is still able to access them if the save file they are playing on has them unlocked from the past.
- However, if one owns a copy of the game for Wii or Wii U, it is still possible to unlock the monthly mashups with the use of a cheat code. At the title screen, the following buttons must be pressed in order: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, B. If done correctly, the monthly Mashups will be unlocked.
- However, this will not work for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, or Xbox One copies of the game.
