Just Dance
Just Dance is a pretty ingenious game because it takes the physical fun of music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero and instead makes the players the best part of the song instead of the instruments they’re playing. The best feature of Just Dance is the ability to download songs created monthtly, so this game turns into a streamlined video-game equivalent of scrolling through your Spotify playlist for songs you can dance to.
This game is amazing because it doesn’t require a console, so even if you don’t play video games often and don’t have a PC or console to play Just Dance on, you can just download the game’s app on your phone and connect it to your TV (if its internet-connected or you’ve got a Chromecast handy). There are tons of video games which just transcend enjoying video games. Those games include classics like Guitar Hero, Mario Party, and Super Smash Bros – games which are just genuinely fun for anyone. Just Dance is one of those games, but it takes out the commitment of playing through a whole game of Mario Party, the hand-eye coordination of Guitar Hero, and the difficulty curve of Smash Bros. Also it’s free, which is always a plus.
Anybody can dance when they’re given the right instructions, and Just Dance does that. Not every gamer is going to find love in another gamer, and sometimes you need games even the gaming-illiterate can enjoy. It’s an easy game for spontaneity, so when you and your date are in the middle of a lull, and you aren’t sure what to do, dancing to good music is always a good answer.
