Dance games for Wii

[Disneymaddness]

I'm thinking of getting a dance game for a change in my exercise routine. Does anyone have any favorites?

 

[ElizK]

I'm interested in this, too. I'll be glad to know what other's recommend.

DD15 played Just Dance 2 at a friend's house, and she loved it. I was considering that one for Christmas.

We have Just Dance 1 and I plan on getting Just Dance 2 for the girls for Christmas. We played for awhile the other night. It does give you quite a workout!

Not really a dance game, but my daughter is looking forward to the new Wii
Zumba coming out near the end of this month.

We have Just Dance and Dance Workout (lots of Zumba-type moves)- Love them both.

We also just got Just Dance 2 and Just Dance Kids from HouseParty.....haven't tried them out yet but I bet they're as good.

We have Just Dance & Just Dance 2 (we are in the house party) and they are great fun and a great workout.
I'm interested in the Zumba game.....that sounds pretty neat.

I have Just Dance 1 and 2. I also have Dance, Dance Revolution 1 and 3 which are both great.

Be sure to post it, when it comes out. I'd like to add that to our other wii stuff.

I used the Just Dance game on my wii for a few weeks and it really worked! I did it for 30 minutes everyday after school. I really want Just Dance 2 for christmas and I've also found another game for the wii, The Biggest Loser Game. It has good reviews and its specificly for loosing weight. I really want it, it's a fun way to exercise

What kind of music is on these games? I'd like something with 80s or 90s music or country, where my kids would like the current top 40 stuff. What do these games offer?

Would you please let me know what's the difference between the Just Dance 1 and 2? I think DD-13 is asking for the #2. Also, do we need the fit board for this or any other accessory? thank you

Is there one with a brass pole?

 

[Disneymaddness]

Looks like Just Dance is pretty popular. Thanks for all the replies.

I have been eyeing these in the store... but I wonder if I need any special stuff for them or just the game.

I don't think there's much difference between Just Dance 1 and 2, other than the song choices. I don't have either, but I've been reading about them because I'm interested in getting one. Based on what I've read, though, I think Just Dance 2 does have one different mode, which is like a workout mode. Maybe someone who has both can confirm this? As for needing special accessories, you don't need anything special for Just Dance. You just need the Wii remote.

For Just Dance, you just need the Wii remote. If you want Dance Dance Revolution, you need the dance mat along with the remote and nunchuk.

One of the differences is that JD2 can read your moves better. I checked out the song lists on Amazon and I personally preferred the songs from JD1 but my kids would know more from JD2.
