    There may be no lack of dance games on shelves but there has yet to be one as polished, approachable and with such joie de vivre as Just Dance 3.

    With Just Dance 3, Ubisoft maintains its hegemony in dancing games on the Wii, and bet on fun to reach an even wider audience.

    The simultaneously dancing in Just Dance 3 is a fantastic new option and the tracklist couldn't be better. The presentation is great as well, with weird looking dance teachers and easy to get into gameplay.

    Just Dance 3 is another solid effort from Ubisoft - simple, fun and accessible, offering a varied song selection, different difficulty levels and all sorts of bright, interesting routines to try and accomplish.

    More a data disk than a true sequel, Just Dance 3 is still one of the best party games "for everyone" that money can buy. On Kinect, the game can easily coexist with Dance Central, due to the fact that the approach is really different and more approachable.

    As accessible and fun as ever, Just Dance 3 also boasts a fantastic playlist, with various genres of music. You can now create your own choregraphies when playing with Kinect, and on the Wii like on the 360, it's enjoyable with four players. It's meant to be fun (so it's super easy), and it works.

    It has a great soundtrack, great dance routines and an infectiously joyful approach to the dance game. It doesn't offer much that Just Dance 2 did not, but forty new routines, four-player choreography and an improved Just Sweat exercise mode are enough to justify the price for any dance game fan. Even the closeted ones.

    Just Dance 3 has a great and varied soundtrack that will get everyone dancing like a maniac. It's a great game, but it could have used some more new modes. This third installment brings mostly just more of the same.

    Those looking for big changes to the series won't find them here, but the music is great, the choreography is well designed and appropriately silly, and there are enough extra modes to keep things interesting.

    Unlockables and medals add some replayability, but it's still just about the dancing.

    Just Dance 3 is a masterpiece of its genre. However, it is certainly the most successful chapter in the saga.

    The series is still as shallow as ever, but hilarious routines and a great selection of songs make Just Dance 3 heaps of fun that no party should be without.

    More of the same really. Fans of the previous versions will probably love it but the controls are still suspect.

    The tracklist is weaker too. [Dec 2011, p.73]

WATCH OUT BOYS!! Here is a review on this game from my daughter:

    My friends and I can play Just Dance for a loooooong time. We like most of the songs and we love to dance. The game is not hard. It's just fun to dance! It does get tiring though so you have to play something else later.    … Full Review »
