Introduction

If you've ever wanted to dance like nobody's watching (while really everybody around you is totally judging), Just Dance 2017 on PS3 is your ticket to groove-town! This installment comes with a cornucopia of tunes that will have even the most awkward dancer breaking into a sweat. Let's dive into the challenge aspects that'll make you wonder if you're channeling Beyoncé or a confused chicken.

Gameplay

Every round starts with you mirroring a dancer who seems to have eaten a hefty serving of confidence. You select a song, and the chaos begins! The motions are tracked by the PlayStation Move; so unless you've got a pro to model after, expect to flail your arms akin to a human windmill. The scoring is as unforgiving as that one friend who always points out when you miss a beat-points are awarded based on your accuracy. Hit the right moves and you're golden; mess up, and you're practically cringing in the corner. What's really fascinating (and simultaneously terrifying) is the introduction of modes like "Dance Quests" and "Just Dance Machine." SCENARIO: you and your friends are trying to charge an alien spaceship through uniquely themed dance styles. Get ready to panic as you strive to accumulate points while pretending this all makes sense. The "Beat the Boss" mode has you aiming for a target score across one to three songs-imagine your group chat's predictions of who will totally win [spoiler: it's probably the one who drinks the most before playing]. Ever had an intense craving for calories? The Sweat Mode will turn your living room into a veritable gym, no treadmill required. Just be prepared for periodic lunges that'll make even the Kardashians weep for mercy. And if you're trying to feel fancy and show off on social media, "Just Dance TV" gives you the option to capture your moments of grace or, let's face it, total disaster. Don't worry, the app can also act as a handy motion controller-so we can get our dancing need fulfilled without compatriots laughing, it's called strategy. Who's to say you can't network while shaking it?

Graphics

Visually, Just Dance 2017 is as vibrant as an over-caffeinated rainbow. Bright colors and flashy backgrounds paint a lively picture, making your dance space feel like a nightclub (minus the questionable life choices and overpriced drinks). The dancers on-screen won't win any Oscars for their ACTING, but they certainly put the "wow" in "which one of us actually knows how to move?" The game excels in making you believe you've stepped into a dance competition, even if your moves suggest otherwise.

Conclusion

Just Dance 2017 for PS3 might not be a revolutionary masterpiece, but it's a solid package of fun! Bring your friends, grab some drinks, and prepare to squint at your own reflection in the screen while you try not to bust a groove too hard-in the name of sheer embarrassment. Just remember, every missed step adds to the drama, and every awkward shuffle is a step in the right direction (probably for your cardio, at least!). So, whether you sink or swim on the dance floor, Just Dance 2017 is here to help you reach for those superstar points... or just entertain your friends with laugh-worthy antics. We give it a solid 7/10 for the camaraderie, calorie-burning, and endless embarrassment!
