Blog:Just Dance 2

Just Dance 2 is a dance video game developed by Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan and published by Ubisoft.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most of the songs in the game are either horrible or average, such as:
 * 2) "Tik Tok" by Kesha is an extremely corny song with poor vocals.
 * 3) "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend is just straight-up boring and generic.
 * 4) "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls, like "Tik Tok," is extremely corny.
 * 5) "Idealistic" by Digitalism is very poorly sung.
 * 6) "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne is also extremely corny.
 * 7) "Dagomba" by Sorcerer is a mediocre song.
 * 8) "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior is again generic and corny.
 * 9) "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" by Mika is also corny.
 * 10) "I Want You Back" by the Jacksons is also corny, much like "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)."
 * 11) "Katti Kalandal" by Bollywood, like "A-Punk," is extremely boring.
 * 12) "Sway (Quién Será)" by Michael Bublé is also very boring.
 * 13) "Satisfaction (Isak Original Extended)" by Benny Benassi presents the Biz, much like "Idealistic," is very poorly sung.
 * 14) "Baby Girl" by LT and Rican is again corny and just boring.
 * 15) "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang is also boring.
 * 16) "D.A.N.C.E" by Justice is again corny.
 * 17) "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte is again corny and boring.
 * 18) "Jump" by Kris Kross is again corny.
 * 19) "Monster Mash" by Boris Pickett and the Crypt Kickers is also corny.
 * 20) "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand is once again corny.
 * 21) "That's Not My Name" by the Ting Tings is poorly sung.
 * 22) "Cosmic Girl" by Jamiroquai is again corny.
 * 23) Same problem with the Fatboy Slim remix of "Body Movin'" by the Beastie Boys.
 * 24) "Alright" by Supergrass is boring.
 * 25) "Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim is extremely repetitive and annoying.
 * 26) The Simon Says Mode is not very good, for multiple reasons:
 * 27) You only get 500 points for spinning around, which isn't much if you think about it. Luckily, Ubisoft improved this with the Just Dance 3 Simon Says Mode, where you instead get 1000 points.
 * 28) You don't get any points whatsoever for keeping your arms still the whole time when it says "Stop". Much like the spinning around problem, this was improved in the Just Dance 3 Simon Says Mode, as you then get 500 points for staying still.
 * 29) You can't do songs in Simon Says Mode in Sweat Mode.
 * 30) In addition to above, not only can you not play Simon Says Mode in Sweat Mode, you can't do any modes in sweat mode. You can only do the classic mode.
 * 31) Due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, you can no longer get DLCs. While you could argue that this isn't a big deal due to the existence of Just Dance: Summer Party, some DLCs are not on said game. In addition to this, the Best Buy Edition track "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash, is not available in that game either, despite the fact that Best Buy tracks are exclusive to the NTSC region and can only be played in the PAL region with the special editions or Just Dance: Summer Party, but since there is no special edition for people in the PAL region and this BBE track is not on JDSP, people in the PAL region cannot play it.
 * 32) The tracking, while better than it was in Just Dance, is still pretty bad.
 * 33) Many of the DLC songs are also bad:
 * 34) The Hit Crew/Countdown Dee's Hit Explosion version of "mh:horriblemusic:Barbie Girl" by Aqua is somehow worse than the original song.
 * 35) "Pump Up the Volume" by M/A/R/R/S is very repetitive and boring.
 * 36) The Lemon Cubes version of "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of Monika)" by Lou Bega, while not necessarily any worse than the original, is still just as corny as it.
 * 37) "Nine in the Afternoon" by Panic! at the Disco is pretty boring.
 * 38) "Chicken Payback" by the Bees is just unfunny and pointless.
 * 39) "Skin-To-Skin" by Sweat Invaders is just a boring workout song.
 * 40) "Why Oh Why" by Love Letter is just a generic "I want you back" love song.
 * 41) "American Boy" by Estelle featuring Kanye West is very boring and generic.

Good Qualities

 * 1) It is a decent improvement over Just Dance, especially in terms of tracking.
 * 2) Even with all its flaws, the Simon Says Mode is still an improvement over Strike a Pose from the original game, and it is also somewhat decent and one of the best parts of the game.
 * 3) The visuals are way better than they were in the first game, and there are now profiles, which are useful for saving scores considering without profiles, you can't tell who has the high score.
 * 4) It is the first game to have DLC, which was an interesting feature.
 * 5) Much like the first game, it's still somewhat fun to play.
