Just Dance 2017

Just Dance 2017 is the 2017 edition in the main series of the Just Dance dancing games where players perform dance routines, mimicking the moves of on-screen performers, to earn points. It continues support for the control mechanism introduced in Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance Now where an app for Android and iOS phones turns the device into a controller for the game, registering movement through the accelerometer/gyroscope. The phone is also used to select dancers and browse through menus so no other controllers are required. This is supported by the PS4, Wii U, Windows and Xbox One versions, and the series is also released on PC for the first time. In addition the PS4, Wii U and Xbox One versions support Move + Camera, Wii Remote and Kinect as alternative control schemes. For PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 the only control scheme is Move + Eye, Wii Remote or Kinect respectively.

The game modes for this edition are Just Dance (with a Rival and Co-op mode), Just Dance Machine, World Dance Floor, Just Dance TV, Dance Quest, Sweat & Playlists, and Video Challenge. There is support for both local and online multiplayer. The main Just Dance mode introduces 40 new tracks to the game with artists such as Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, David Guetta, Justin Bieber, Queen, The Weeknd and so on with an average song length of about one minute. As with the previous edition the library can be extended with a subscription service called Just Dance Unlimited, which provides access to about 200 additional songs from a streaming library. Players pay for the service per month ($ 4.99), per three months ($ 9.99) or per year ($ 29.99). This service is only available for the PS4, Wii U, Windows and Xbox One versions. It includes both new tracks and songs from previous editions. Most of the PAL versions include a three-month subscription by default, while in the US that is provided through the more expensive Just Dance 2017 (Gold Edition).
