If you have a Nintendo Switch and you simply want to dance, Just Dance 2017 is a must have game. However, the price is too high for this kind of entertainment.

Just Dance 2017 offers that same great dancing mechanics and adds the accuracy of the Joy Cons. The Joy Cons are very lightweight, which is perfect if you plan on dancing for long stretches of time. While it doesn't make any ground breaking changes to the formula, it does offer a really fun experience for dancers of all ages and abilities.

Never one to be lost in the spectacle of its unbeatable production values, Just Dance 2017 discovers a welcome home on Nintendo Switch. With the console lending the chance to dance anywhere that you like, the Just Dance faithful will be happy with this iteration. But Ubisoft still needs to find more ways to playfully reinvent what we have come to expect from the series.

Just Dance 2017 is a definite step up from the previous games in the franchise and offers much more to players. Many changes have gone into making it a great title which I would definitely recommend. Play it with friends or in World Dance Floor mode because that’s the best way to experience the game. The songs are great, the modes are better and the interface is a step above last year's.

Just Dance 2017 is the culmination of years of refining the same formula the original set down back in 2007. It doesn’t change much, but it realistically doesn’t need to.

Just Dance 2017 is a good way to introduce new players to the game, or to get friends in the game with you - but as for accuracy, it's not the best. That said, you'll probably be having so much fun dancing to the Sumo version of "Hips Don't Lie" that you won't even notice the hiccups.

It's challenging both mentally (to learn the choreography) and physically. And it has a lot of music to offer. Just Dance 2017 gets that way not by being a technical program obsessing about judging the details of your physical movements, but by doing everything in its power to make you forget everything but the music, the choreography, how they intertwine, and how you're ever going to be able to catch your breath in time to keep up with it.

Just Dance 2017 is another good but flawed party game to add to the Nintendo Switch line up, if you're looking for a game that will offer hours of stupid fun then this is the perfect game to purchase for the Switch, and also take it on the go and play just using the undocked screen. If you're looking for that kind of party game fun then this will be perfect for you, and is worth the purchase.

This year's edition of the Just Dance series lifts the game beyond its former releases thanks to its focus on treating players to various extras the more they play, as well as integrating the online component so smoothly. There will always be a tendency to jiggle the Joy-Con randomly - as with the Wii Remote in the past - in the hopes of cheating to get a decent score, but some of the fun factor is removed by doing that. Just Dance 2017 on Nintendo Switch is as close to perfection in the genre as possible, even if this version has lost some of the features included in the already released Wii U edition.

Just Dance 2017 is the most comprehensive entry in the series to date, and paired with the Unlimited selection service, it will become a centrepiece for any party. The songs and routines are varied, and the additional modes complement the experience well. There may not be enough to warrant a new purchase for those of you who own Just Dance 2016, but for newcomers Just Dance 2017 is the complete collection.

Nintendo Switch version of Just Dance 2017, is not much different than other versions of the game. If you are looking for a game that you can enjoy with friends and have some fun, this game is for you but don't expect to learn new dance moves!

There’s no doubt that Ubisoft hit gold with the series, but is there enough variation to keep re-inventing the wheel time after time? Apparently so. If you didn’t pick it up for any other console, the Nintendo Switch version is by far the most unique with its great portability and Joy-Con accuracy. But like a child with too much sugar, it’s only fun in small doses.

Just Dance 2017 on Nintendo Switch is the definition of a port as besides allowing for new control options, there's nothing to distinguish it from other consoles.

Few additions and a great new tracklist make Just Dance 2017 advisable to purchase for another year. Companion App works very well. Just Dance 2017 brings fun again.

This is our third year in a row criticizing Just Dance, but we’re not trying to beat up the series.
