I don't know why I'm logging this but it might as well be the definitive Just Dance log.

Just Dance 4 is the best game of the series and nothing comes close. That's a weird statement, but I think it's certainly the most impactful of the series.

Just Dance started off as a bland Wii shovelware game. By the time 4 came out, it was a confident yearly moneymaker that added more and more. After the bland backgrounds of 1, the art of the backgrounds and the coaches popped. Unlockable bonus routines was added. A mini achievement system was added.

So many changes that are now the series norm originated from Just Dance 4, and without it, the series might as well have been dead. While I do still enjoy the series enough to get each year's game and I do have a fun time with it, nothing will beat the sheer impact of 4.

While the choreographies in current games seem to get more and more intricate to the point that you could genuinely learn complex real life routines, there's something about the simplicity and fun of Just Dance 4 that endures even almost 10 years later.
