For years, fans have wondered why rhythm game giants hadn’t embraced the immersive world of Virtual Reality. Just Dance, in particular, seemed like a perfect fit, especially with Ubisoft already exploring VR gaming. Now, the wait is over, and Just Dance VR has arrived, bringing the dance floor to your headset and incorporating exciting VR enhancements that go beyond a simple port. If you’re familiar with the Just Dance franchise, you already know what to expect in terms of gameplay, regardless of whether you’ve only experienced it on a traditional screen. The core concept that has made Just Dance a global phenomenon remains intact and is elevated in VR.
If you’re new to the world of Just Dance, forget about slashing blocks or hitting targets. Just Dance VR offers a unique VR dance lesson experience. You’ll find yourself mirroring the moves of an energetic on-screen coach as they guide you through dynamic dance routines. To help you prepare for what’s coming, the game cleverly displays a preview of the upcoming starting position, allowing you to smoothly transition between dance sections and stay in rhythm.
As someone returning to Just Dance after a break, I was curious if Just Dance VR felt more lenient in judging the accuracy of your movements. It could be the improved precision of VR controller tracking compared to using a phone, but my feeling is that the game is indeed more forgiving. Even as someone who wouldn’t consider themselves a natural dancer, I was able to achieve impressive ‘Superstar’ ratings, highlighting the accessible and enjoyable nature of Just Dance VR for players of all skill levels.
