  The Just Dance series feels like it’s headed in the right direction with Just Dance 3, but it still has a long way to go. If you were satisfied with the Just Dance experience on the Wii, and you find the soundtrack to Just Dance 3 appealing, you probably won’t be disappointed. But you should know that you can do better.

  Humour is what makes Just Dance 3 such a great experience, particularly when you're playing with friends. Each routine has been expertly choreographed, not to be technically impressive, but to be as much fun as possible. The new mojo levelling system means you've got something to aim toward if you're playing alone, while the improved motion tracking, crisp visuals, and inspired tracklist ensure there's a high level of presentation throughout. Even the most cynical of players should give Just Dance 3 a try--you might come away a little embarrassed, maybe even a little sweaty, but you'll have a huge smile afterward.

  6.0

  The Just Dance series was design to be a party game, and, sadly, it doesn’t perform well outside of that kind of atmosphere. You won’t be whipping out most of these dance moves on any other occasion, but I don’t think Ubisoft cares if you learn how most of these goofy moves are performed.

  8.5

  Most importantly, though, it's good a broad, excellent soundtrack and a selection of dance routines that range from spectacularly silly to intimidatingly cool. The scoring system might be puzzling at times, but you'll have enormous fun playing Just Dance 3, and that is what matters in the end.

  Just Dance 3 becomes far more enjoyable when you switch off the critical part of your brain. Sure, it's not as responsive as it could be, options for multiplayer are lacking and the concept of Share Tokens are likely to enrage many players, but play it in the right circumstances, with the right company, and an appropriate assortment of alcoholic beverages to hand (or sweeties, for the whipper snappers) and Just Dance 3 is just as enjoyable as it's ever been.

  7.0

  Just Dance 3 follows the simple yet successful formula that other dance rhythm based games follow. It is all about being able to jump into a song and dance without delay. Visually it is nothing special, and the lack of single player progression mode is a bit of a letdown. This being said, Just Dance 3 manages to accomplish what it intended to do and that is let people dance-away and have a good time.
