Just dance 2021 switch review9/4/2023 ![]() They're straight out beautiful and amazing to look at, the team have really outdone themselves with the backgrounds and no more lazily done checkerboard Extreme backgrounds! I'm so grateful for these I can't even express it. No matter how tiring Yameen Yasar is, it will always be Kick It for me. Like every game, a new hardest song arises, and this time, in my opinion, it's Kick It. This time there are 9 Extremes which is a great thing because I love Extremes, so satisfying when I learn an Extreme choreo fully considering how hard and fast they are. After that, there are the songs that not many people have heard of - Zenit, Georgia, Bailando, etc. There is as expected more KPOP for the lot of fans who like the genre. Of course, the 'obligatory' popular songs are here - Blinding Lights, Say So, Rain On Me, etc - that would appeal to most people. The song list itself is decent and in some ways better than any one before this game in the franchise. Of course, the ones labeled 'Low' when you activate sweat mode are the same difficulty as every song in that category, but even 'Medium' difficulty songs have gotten harder not significantly, just noticeably. The choreographies in this game are definitively harder than any previous games' dances were. ![]() Now, enough about the menu, I'll talk about the core of the game: the choreos. The feature would be a welcome one in my view if - and only if - Catalog was still available. I mainly play Extremes, and all the extremes are in the first 3 lines, however, my least played Extreme is at the very 1st place which is odd considering that I've only played it a total of 2 times and Blinding Lights, - which was the 2nd place - 10 or maybe 20 times that number. They brought this "Pertinence" sorting to this game which is supposed to put the songs you play most on the front and to be fair, it mostly does exactly that. I get that they don't want to release the same game, therefore some changes need to be made, but they could have changed many more things (e.g.: dark mode, a new color theme instead of purple & pink, private online rooms for playing with friends, etc.). Changing this makes me think that Ubisoft hasn't heard the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". Now something that I really don't like: the exclusion on the Catalog sorting. I love the new score screen so much, I just don't use sweat mode at all, whereas I was only using that in JD2020 I'm sure they could have put the calorie count somewhere on the new score screen. It's a shame the end screen is the same when you're in sweat mode. Superstar and Megastar is still here and can be achieved by scoring 1100 points respectively on any song, however, I would've like Ubisoft to add a new "-star" for scoring 13000 points, because the max points you can earn for any song is a bit over 13000 so achieving 13K would feel more rewarding in my opinion. It's so good, it's like you're playing the WDF (World Dance Floor) alone you can see how many Perfects, Supers, Good, OKs and Xs you got which makes doing better in a song more rewarding than just telling you the score. Then we have the new score screen which I like very much. Anyway, back to the menu: in the settings you can turn off the "Related Songs" which removes the Recommended Songs line in the Songs tab and the related songs after you finish a song, which I turned off at an instant because I didn't like it in the last game. Unfortunately yes, this game doesn't make use of the PS5's camera or the previous camera or even the PS Move Controller which is a big disappointment, since all of them are compatible with Sony's next-gen console. You got your usual controlling methods: Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch, PS Camera & PS Move Controller for PS4, Kinect for Xbox One and Phone via the Just Dance Controller app for Stadia, Xbox Series X | S and PS5. The menu itself looks & functions pretty much the exact same is it did in Just Dance 2019 and Just Dance 2020 which isn't surprising at all because Ubisoft graces us with a new menu every 3 games most of the time, so maybe we'll see a fresh menu in Just Dance 2022 next year. Let's start this review off with the menu. ![]() 12, 2020 for the Nintendo Switch because I own every mainline game before this and had a good time with almost every one of them. The menu itself looks & functions pretty much the exact same is Just Dance 2021 isn't the most innovative game in the franchise, but in some key areas, it definitely excels.
