Review: A fair amount of people were looking forward to this when it was still an upcoming Kinect game due to the fact that the new Kinect system allows xbox users to finally enjoy the already successful just dance series. There are easy and difficult settings, as well as fun graphics, which make for a great and enjoyable workout.
