They were a real trio filmed normally with a straight on camera in what looked like a basement with very white walls and strong, clear lighting – probably the crib where all the super cool dancers normally hang out. In one of the songs, the characters weren’t even disguised. Now, these features are far more distinct. Previously, only lips were discernable with vaguely visible noses and eyes. This time too, the faces of the on-screen characters were far clearer and I could make out more distinct faces than the past years’ editions. While this is visually pretty funky, I found it made copying a little trickier, especially the first time round as I wasn’t expecting the changes in angle. This time, in a few of the songs with single dancers, the camera really does move and has different angles of the dancer. Nor do I mean how the characters sometimes ‘jump’ or ‘float’ onto different computer-generated ‘stages’. We’re not just talking zooming in and out. This year’s rendition has changed up the camera angles though, and so instead of all the dancers being filmed as if they’re standing on a 2-D stage, the camera in some songs seems to move around. It’s fun, it’s light and, if we’re honest, a little repetitive.
#JUST DANCE 2022 GENRES PRO#
The wild variety of musical genres remains the same too – as do the outrageous costumes and outfits worn by the team of pro dancer characters you copy on-screen. The look and feel of the game have remained pretty consistent. It’s true that Just Dance has been around for a really long time now. I love that I can dance on my own, either challenging myself or just goofing around or I can go head-to-head in an epic battle of wits, wills and…sometimes just really good wrist-work. And if you like to burn those calories, there’s sweat-mode too. If you like everyone to be a winner, there is a cooperative mode. If you’re competitive, you can dance off against friends, family, and online players alike. It really makes you want to go back again.
You get a real high: both from the endorphins rushing through your brain due to the physical activity as well as a sense of satisfaction seeing your score and the number of moves you got right increase.
There are dances for beginners and pros a variety of styles and paces and the ability to repeat as many times as you like or pause halfway through if you need to catch your breath. That’s what I absolutely love about this game – it makes no difference what level you come in at, it’s easy to get into and very addictive. It’s just delightful, although I admit to not really being that good at it or really knowing what I’m doing.
It makes no difference what level you come in at, it’s easy to get into and very addictive. Although the formula remains much the same as it has over the last 13 years, this year’s new songs and variety of modes mean it’s a great first buy, however, probably not enough to persuade owners of previous editions to splurge for the latest one. And if you just like to shake your money-maker or bop in time to your favourite hits, then Just Dance 2022 has got you covered too. If you’re staring down the barrel of long days with family members in confinement, never fear, the wonderfully wacky rhythm/dance game is here to save you. It’s back! And it’s zanier than ever: the latest iteration of Just Dance has hit our shelves just in time for the summer holiday and, er… potential re-lockdown restrictions.
