Bad Qualities

 * 1) The tracking is awful and almost never accurately scores your moves.
 * 2) The extra modes have multiple problems:
 * 3) Strike a Pose is way too hard as the stop sign appears way too often. It is easier in Simon Says Mode, which is a mode that appears in all Just Dance games (including spin-offs with the same interface as 2 or 3) from Just Dance 2 to Just Dance: Best Of, where there are multiple things you need to do (rather than just stop or go) which gives you a better chance at getting a good score. If anything, Simon Says Mode was the way to still get a good score despite that the games listed still had terrible tracking as well as this game, but since you can't get any more points then you already do in this mode (in fact you will most likely get less since there is no way too escape the terrible tracking of this game), this cannot be fixed.
 * 4) Last One Standing is practically impossible, as since the tracking is awful and you will most likely get lots of Xs, you won't be able to avoid getting 7 Xs. You can get 5 greats in a row to regain a life, but this is not enough.
 * 5) The track listing mainly consists of songs released before the 2000s, which makes it not appealing enough to the modern generation. To be exact, there are only 12 songs in the game that were released after the 90s despite the track listing having 33 songs.
 * 6) *In fact, this game probably would have been more successful if it was aimed at people aged 20-25.
 * 7) Gameplay videos are not as fun to watch due to the fact that they don't look as good since the icon is a questionable choice of indication. The follow-ups to this game prove that text looks better, especially when there are options to have your own profile, but none of that is here.
 * 8) While the "Warm Up" routine is decent; that's the problem: it would actually be more fun if we had an option to play it with scoring.
 * 9) The game doesn't have a store, mashups, a non-stop shuffle, a melody, any alternate versions, Just Sweat and all of the other things that most of the other games have that make the game even more fun, which just shows how limited the game really is.
