\nShortly before Thanksgiving our family received Just Dance 3<\/a> for Wii* and a month later it is still one of the family\u2019s favorite games to play. \u00a0The game is simple enough for my five year old to maneuver through and choose songs (you can hear a snippet of the song as you scroll through the choices), making it something that he can play without adult help if he wants. \u00a0There is a great variety of songs to choose from \u2013 current songs that my kids hear on television like \u201cDynamite\u201d and \u201cPrice Tag\u201d, songs from my \u201cgood ole days\u201d like \u201cGonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)\u201d as well as songs that my parents know like \u201cI\u2019m So Excited.\u201d All ages can get into the game and enjoy it!<\/p>\n

\nThanksgiving Day we sent the kids into a different room to wear off some energy. We took several games along for them to choose from but Just Dance 3 was their \u00a0game of choice for the day. \u00a0Two hours later, they were still enjoying themselves and the dads got to enjoy football without any interruptions!<\/p>\n

\nUp to four players can play at one time. (Although, if you have a big group, those that don\u2019t have controllers still might get in the mood and choose to dance!) Select a song and then imitate the dancers on the screen. You earn stars and points as you get the moves right. The person with the highest score wins that round.\u00a0As you earn stars you are rewarded with a special choreography or game mode. There are even songs that have 2 and 4-part choreographies where you interact with the other dancers in your group with each member getting the opportunity to take the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/span>Need a little cardio exercise? \u00a0Choose the \u201cJust Sweat\u201d mode. \u00a0There are lots of different modes that you can choose from in this area. One of our favorites was an option that played shortened versions of each song. Since there was no down time between the songs, you really worked up a sweat. Half an hour later, I was ready for a break!<\/div>\n

Ready for some new songs? You can purchase and download more songs through the Wii store for 250 points each.
\nOverall, I would highly recommend this game to anyone. \u00a0It\u2019s perfect for any age group and a great way to get moving.<\/p>\n

Just Dance 3<\/a> is available for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and XBOX 360. \u00a0Just Dance 3 is available through Amazon.com<\/a> for all platforms for $29.96 with free One-Day Shipping.<\/p>\n
