Revision as of 16:17, 9 March 2017

Just Dance 2016 is the seventh installment in the Just Dance franchise. The game was released on October 20, 2015 in the United States and on October 22, 2015 for the rest of the world, except for the UK where the release date was October 23, 2015.

Gameplay and Features

Introducing all new game modes on PS4™, Xbox One™ and Wii U™ consoles, with more focus on online and sharing features:

  • Dance Party” mode, where players can either work together with a common score bar or play against each other, as in previous games.
  • Sweat and Playlists” mode, to customize workout sessions.
  • Dance Quests” mode, completely different from its incarnation in Just Dance 4, where each quest has the player play through 3 pre-determined songs facing bots, trying to get one of the top 3 overall scores.
  • World Video Challenge” mode, where players send videos of their performances and challenge their friends and the whole Just Dance community to beat their score.
  • JDTV, where players can watch community made videos and fan made dances.
  • Introducing Showtime, a new feature for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U where players sing, act, and/or perform in front of their cameras to create shareable music videos. Only select songs are available in this mode.[3]
  • Additionally, Just Dance 2016 introduced Just Dance Unlimited, a new streaming service that will regularly deliver exclusive new content and offer subscribers 150 songs at launch. At launch, Unlimited also offers 4 Unlimited Exclusive Dance Quests. This service is exclusive to Xbox One, Wii U and PlayStation 4.
  • You can now use your smartphone as a controller to play the game on the Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One.[4][5] This allows Wii U and PS4 users to play with up to 6 players instead of 4, which is a feature previously exclusive to the Xbox One.
  • "Party Master Mode" Party Master returns, like previously as a Wii U exclusive. A fifth player can join and be the party’s DJ, using the Wii U gamepad to choose the songs and select the next dance moves.[6]
  • Community Remix, VIP, Score Challenges, kCal TrackerAutodance and World Dance Floor (for 7th Gen consoles only)  are all returning features.

Reception

Critical Reception

Steve Hannley of Hardcore Gamer criticized Just Dance 2016 for its lack of differentiation from previous versions, especially for a franchise described as having reached "Guitar Hero levels of saturation". Although the Dance Quest mode was partially praised for being a new feature at all, it was declared redundant to manually picking three songs to play in a row, and all of the new modes in 2016 were panned for being "glorified ways to play the game in exactly the same way". The soundtrack was considered to be worse than that of Just Dance 2015 (which he had previously described as having the worst in series history), citing "terrible" songs, lacking "underground" electronic dance music, and containing too many older songs (noting that only 8 of the 44 on-disc songs were released within the year). The Just Dance Now service was speculated as being the potential future of the franchise, noting that "at $39.99 a year (or the insane $6.99 a month), it's priced just under the cost of the game at retail and considering the gameplay hasn't changed the past three years, it makes sense to simply phase this in as the complete replacement of annual releases." In conclusion, Hannley gave Just Dance 2016 a 2.5 out of 5, concluding that "while the core gameplay remains fun despite some questionable choreography, the overall package reeks of complete and utter apathy. Basic Kinect features have been stripped, there's an unnecessary focus on smartphone use and only eight licensed songs of the over forty included in total are from this year, which is a huge issue considering that the series has devolved into a glorified track pack."[7]

Behind the Scenes

Trivia

  • On the Wii, if you pause(press +) at the last minute of a song then play it, after the song end a glitch might appear. The scores and the button "continue" will vanish.
  • Electro Body Combat is heard throughout the teaser.
  • This is the third game in the series (after Just Dance 3 and Just Dance 2015) to be released in the U.S. several days earlier than in the rest of the world.
    • It is also the second game to have console-exclusive Mashups after Just Dance 4.
  • The song selection menu for eight generation consoles is similar to Just Dance Now’s.
  • The Community Remix has a new look (except for Uptown Funk). It now features the original dance with the people edited into it.
  • The music heard in the teaser was used before in the Just Dance 2015 - Exclusive Uplay Rewards [UK] video, which was used to promote rewards on Just Dance 2015.[8]
  • Exclusive to eight generation systems, the scoring system (X, OK, GOOD, PERFECT and YEAH!) has a new sparkly effect and the stars in the star bar have a new beat system.
  • Imposs' Stadium Flow is used for the game's demo trailer.[9] Its preview video was also the last to be released.
  • PS4 and Wii U players can now enjoy several features previously exclusive to the Xbox One. Up to six players can now play the game with the use of smartphones in addition to motion controllers, with up to two players playing as the same coach.
  • This is the first entry in the main series since the original Just Dance game to not have a Rihanna song or any DLC (both original and recycled), though eight generation users have the option to subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited.
    • Despite this, all versions of the game has a screen that reads "Music Downloads are not rated by ESRB/PEGI" shown on startup.
  • This is the third game in the main series to not have a beta dancer on the PAL cover.
  • This game introduces Trio Mashups, though at launch, only one song (Born This Way) has this feature.
  • The Mashup theme Suit Up! was recycled from Just Dance 2015, thus making it the only Mashup theme to be recycled.
  • Mojo has been devalued on eight generation consoles at a rate of 1 to 100. For example, each earned star now awards 100 mojo instead of 1 (similar to Just Dance 4). As a result, unlockables now cost more Mojo to unlock.
  • On seventh gen consoles, the menu layout and the U.I. is recycled from Just Dance 2015 with slight updates.[10]
  • The U.S. version of the game comes with a code for Just Dance Unlimited that lasts 48 hours (2 days) while all other regional versions come with a code that lasts 30 days. It is possible that this is due to the fact that the Gold Edition of the game is exclusive to the U.S.
  • If saved data from previous Just Dance games is present on a console upon boot up, the following three avatars will be unlocked:
    • Raving Rabbid Avatar
    • Santa Avatar
    • Barbara Avatar[11]
  • In all of the track preview trailers, the star sound is shortened, producing a sharp sound. In the final game, the star sound is fuller and louder.
  • On the Xbox One, pressing the home button to return to the Xbox Home puts the game in a standby state where the background moves to a rhythm but the game is frozen and there is no sound until reentering the game.
  • Wii U players cannot go home to the console's main menu while playing a song, even if it's offline.
  • One of the Mojo-Unlockable avatars in the game does not have a sticker appearance like all of the other avatars.[12]
  • A promotion launched by Ubisoft allowed people to purchase Just Dance 2016 and One Direction's Made in the A.M. together on Amazon at a special discounted rate.[13]
  • Ubisoft has sponsored multiple videos regarding this game, such as:
    • Just Dance 2016 (Teens React Gaming)[14]
    • Teens Teach Their Parents How To Dance // Presented by BuzzFeed & Just Dance 2016[15]
  • Starting November 25, 2015 (GMT), there is a sale where subscriptions for Just Dance Unlimited were 40% off.[16] This ended on December 2, 2015.
  • Every song from the twentieth century is covered.
  • Just Dance 2016 won the 'Favorite Video Game' award in the 2016 Kids' Choice Awards.
  • Sometimes, the 8th-gen versions of the game are affected by a glitch: some avatars from Dance Quests will not be unlocked although the player actually completed them.[17]
  • On March 15th, 2016, the "Star Remix / Community Remix" section of Just Dance Unlimited was simply renamed to "Community".[18]
  • On seventh generation consoles, there is an error where an effect from the main menu of the game will appear while playing a routine.[19]
    • Additionally, on the PlayStation 3 version of the game, there is a glitch where the "Add challengers" option will mostly disappear in all coach selection screens.
  • Taste The Feeling can be played on 8th Gen Consoles for free, if the console is connected to the internet.
  • On the Wii U, it is not possible now to show your avatar, while holding "A".
