A Wii remote in hand, four friends in the living room, and the night tips over.

The criterion profile tells exactly what the game is. The soundtrack climbs ahead of 72% of titles, no surprise for a dance game built on its hits. Desert island holds near the average. But everything else falls back: connection at the bottom, ahead of 4% of games, the urge to rediscover it lower still, ahead of 3%. No surprise: what makes Just Dance is the shared moment, not a memory you cherish or a mechanic you dream of reliving alone. Several lines rest on one to three votes, so take them as early signs.

As a party music game on Wii, it owns its spot: a mood machine more than an experience you carry inside. Its neighbors in pure rhythm aim elsewhere, at performance or mastery, where this one aims at the group laughing fit.

So who's it for? For you if you love a playlist that kicks off the night and getting everyone dancing without a thought. Much less so if you want a game to bond with over time or dream of rediscovering one day.
