Though it is weird for a game with 2021 in its title to have tracks from 2020. All of this unfolds through digitally rotoscoped versions of Ubisoft’s own dancers. Fun fact: Just Dance mostly comes out of Ubisoft Pune. We reviewed it on the Nintendo Switch, and we believe that is the best version of the game. It is easy to set-up and my eight-year-old daughter was able to dive right in easily. Just make sure one of the motion-sensing Joy-cons are in one hand, with a strap for safety, and you are ready to go. While the game is available on every other system, you will need a connected smartphone app that the game uses to accurately map the dance moves. However, there is always a danger of your smartphone flying out the window - a too-real possibility, given Just Dance 2021’s tricky dance moves. Getting into the game is as the title suggests, you just dance by mimicking the movements of the colourful on-screen characters with the help of handy illustrations.

The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’, for example, has an easy beat, but the on-screen prompt had some awkward hand and head movements that were just not flowing with the song. This mismatchedness was present on a few songs, and evoked inadequacy in me. I may have two left feet, but my daughter, a natural, also found it hard to follow. Ultimately, we were playing catchup to the professional dancers doing the motion capture and not having much fun. What was especially good was the mix of songs, from ‘Village People to ‘You got a Friend In Me’ from That aside, the track list is excellent and well-rounded, featuring songs from my favourite K-pop groups BLACKPINK’s ‘Ice Cream’ and K/DA’s ‘Drum go Dum’, to ‘Magenta Riddim’ by DJ Snake, to evergreen hit ‘Bailando’. On the upside, the game has a bunch of modes, and I did like the cardio ‘sweat’ mode to squeeze in some exercise. 3 hrs ‘The White Lotus’ season 2 review: A dazzling exploration of jealousy, desire, and sexual politics.There is a kiddie mode, too, aimed at toddlers and small children, well-timed for the movement-inhibiting lockdown.
