Our regular readers and the people who follow me on social media know that I’m a returning player and will always give the latest edition a go, especially around the holidays when it doesn’t hurt to burn some additional calories.īut it has become somewhat of a running joke that I copy a large part of the review every year because Just Dance itself also doesn’t reinvent the formula and just adds a batch of new songs to what is basically an entry ticket to a subscription model.īut to my surprise, Just Dance 2023 went above and beyond and actually looked at some of the criticisms of the past few editions and this year’s release feels like a major step up. Overall, this has been a terrible experience and I am currently working on getting a refund through the PlayStation shop.LifeisXbox’s Just Dance 2023 review | Just Dance needs no introduction: if you feel like dropping some sweet dance moves on the few square feet in front of your TV, then this is the best game to do so. The fact that this app includes data collection for a game that would otherwise have been housed on my PlayStation without that level of invasiveness is absurd. Furthermore, when I buy a game for a platform, I want the usability of that game to be contained TO that platform. So, they continue to sell a game that for many people doesn’t function at all when they could have avoided this by just continuing to have the functionality offered in previous versions of the game. I did not know this before purchasing the game, and am not only finding out that this is a known issue, but Ubisoft has given NO timeline for a bug fix. The decision to make this phone only has rendered the game completely unplayable as the app will not connect to the game at all. Jokes on me for assuming that this game would work with my PlayStation move camera and controllers, just as the game had in the past. If I could give this zero stars, I would. But bring back Kinect support, and I'd be back on board. Kinda sad, I've enjoyed these new releases every year, but will continue to play the older games until they no longer work, rather than 'upgrade' to an inferior play experience.with a phone.which I'd rather not accidentally throw across the room while dancing, thank you very much. I'm actually lucky enough to own an Xbox X as well - but I will NOT be purchasing this game on that platform due to lack of Kinect support and the fact that this franchise has clearly lost its way. I think the studio grossly misunderstood the market for this game - young people who aren't chasing the latest and greatest, but just want to have a good time with their friends on a Saturday, or parents looking for a way to spend some fun physical activity time with their kids. Developers largely gave up on Kinect long ago, but this franchise was one where it's utility really continued to shine. Versions of this game were released well past end-of-life for Nintendo Wii - no doubt because it had decent motion controls and an overall better play experience compared to some other consoles, regardless of the fact it didn't have the latest graphics. Found out game was NOT released for Xbox One, which means Kinect support is dead. Went to drop $85 on the ultimate version of Just Dance 2023.

Jus dance no more xbox versions
