I was lucky enough to get a copy of Just Dance by Ubisoft through BzzAgent to try out.
Here's a little blurb from Ubisoft:Dance to the rhythm of your favorite beat with Ubisoft’s Just Dance, a music & rhythm video game that allows you to dance the night away with your friends and family without ever leaving the house. Invite your friends to join you for a fun late-night dance session, or practice your favorite moves solo on your own. With simple pick-up and play controls, anyone can join the party.
I'll be honest with you, I was a little nervous to try it out. I mean I'm not much of a dancer, and I'm probably the only person who has ever given them self a concussion playing a Wii game...
So, I waited til my husband wasn't home, donned my running shoes (for traction!) and started it up.
The game includes over thirty songs, most of which are actually by the original artist. These include Wannabe by the Spice Girls, Step by Step by New Kids on the Block, Hot n Cold by Katy Perry and much more (for a full listing of the songs, take a look at this post on Video Game Blogger by clicking here).
So the first song I tried was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cindi Lauper. And you know what? I actually had fun! At first I didn't really see the potential for fun, but once the music started I felt great! I actually ended up playing for over half an hour, by myself, and enjoying every minute of it. On top of that, by the end of it, I had worked up a bit of a sweat and actually felt like I got a decent workout out of it.
Next time I play, I'll be sure to wear my Go Wear Fit, so I can see how many calories I'm actually burning.
Anyways, if you enjoy dancing, and are looking for a fun and different way to work out, I highly recommend this game!
Oh, and if you're just looking for a laugh, head over to the Just Dance official site, they have plenty of videos posted of actual people playing the game. Let's just say I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks like a fool when I'm dancing!
