Not too long ago, a game called Just Dance came out - with a basic premise: All the player - or a group of players - has to do is copy the movements of a dancer on screen as if that dancer were the player’s reflection.
Dance on Broadway is a follow up to Just Dance. It plays exactly the same, except for the different music - Dance on Broadway has songs from hit musicals like Dreamgirls, Little Shop of Horrors, and Hairspray.
But this game is lacking something that Just Dance has: the different multiplayer aspects. Just Dance has the option of letting players play in a best of tournament, a red light green light game, or a game where the last person makes a mistake wins.
Those mini games do not appear in Dance on Broadway; Dance on Broadway just gives the songs (20 in all). All 20 songs are selectable from the first time the player plays the game; there’s nothing here to unlock This will turn off several players who are looking for medals/rewards/unlockable content.
Another turn off is the lack of love for the single player; this game is meant to be played party style or not at all.
A third problem is the game doesn’t recognize all the proper moves; several occasions it gives a miss when one isn’t warranted.
The last big problem I see here is the songs have a limited appeal - either you like them or you don’t. If you are into these type of songs and like to dance with friends, then give this game a try.
But Dance on Broadway just doesn’t have the songs that I’m into, so I say it’s a near miss. SKIP IT.
