  There's a loose campaign (that's not really engaging enough to follow through with), free play, and a bare-bones weight loss mode. "Dance Machine" attempts to try something new, randomizing routines under the guise of helping aliens refuel their ship, but I found myself just gravitating back toward freeplay after a few rounds.

  For one of the earliest Nintendo Switch experiences I’ve had with the console, Just Dance 2017 was a disappointing departure. Though its slick and easy to use interface combined with the Switch-centric Tabletop Mode are boons for those looking to dance, there’s little substance here, certainly not enough to recommend shelling out cash for Just Dance Unlimited or even playing this game instead of just turning on the radio and dancing to your own routines.

  Just Dance 2017 is a very predictable update to a long-running series of dancing games that shines in visual design and unique choreography but is very loose with its tracking of your body movements. It’s not going to teach you to be a professional dancer, and it honestly doesn’t really teach you how to be good at Just Dance itself. That said, it’s still a whole lot of fun to play, and the songs that aren’t locked behind a paywall are varied and, largely, recognisable

  If you've played a Just Dance game before, any Just Dance game, you'll know whether or not you like Just Dance 2017. It doesn't add much to the series but is another bombastic, deeply enjoyable game to play as you accidentally break your living room furniture.

  This is our third year in a row criticizing Just Dance, but we’re not trying to beat up the series. We were champions of the pure fun the game offered early in its inception, but it’s become irrelevant now thanks to Just Dance Unlimited. Ubisoft needs to stop releasing this game physically and focus entirely on their streaming platform.

  Just Dance 2017 is a good way to introduce new players to the game, or to get friends in the game with you – but as for accuracy, it’s not the best. That said, you’ll probably be having so much fun dancing to the Sumo version of “Hips Don’t Lie” that you won’t even notice the hiccups.
