Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just Dance 2022's maps (the videos for each song) are absolutely stunning. The amount of effort put into each one is insane. I will say that I'd imagine that that makes it a bit more difficult to use as a "use every now and again for parties" game, but it's amazing for long-time fans. The big disappointment with this installment is that all the issues with last year's base game remain. The glaring white background with no option for dark mode. The World Dance Floor being divided up into rooms that don't actually help with making sure you are seperated by skill, and end up just making it very difficult to try and play with long distance friends. The lack of variety and weeklies on the World Dance Floor. Quick Play mode is still completely broken and doesn't work at all. There's no actual new modes to do, like mash-ups and battle modes among other things. They even got rid of the sticker book, which gave incentive to 100% the game on Switch due to there being no external achievements system. No clue why they did that. Unlike last year, the maps are so gorgeous and great that I can somewhat forgive a lot of these misgivings - but it's incredibly disappointing seeing as all those things are what caused a ton of burnout to most of the Just Dance community. I'm really hoping next year all those things aren't an issue again :( EDIT: Also, I'm unsure about what the one review talking about how there are "too many dances for each song" is talking about? Alternates have been a thing since Just Dance 3, and both extremes and other alternates were in the game last year, plus I don't quite see how "most songs are slow". All the K-POP songs are fast, Level Up is fast. There are a bunch of maps that are fast - the slower song choices are done more artistically - but again this variety has been a thing for its' entire lifespan. So take that review with a grain of salt.
