Good party game but poor detection of camera and poor control

Just Dance 2014 - [PlayStation 4] (Video Game)

Customer Review

Just Dance has always been enthusiastic than feel-good party game. No wonder that Ubisoft also chose this again for a 2014 edition of its dance game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's start with the control:

Each time you start the game you will be asked if you want to dance with the Move controller or with the camera detection. I go first, closer to the free variant:

The advantage is quite clear that you have to keep any pesky controller in hand. One can virtually just wild dancing going on it. Annoying is only that one for the selection of each menu item every time but use the DS4 the Playstation needs (rather than simply by hand to point to the point as it was with EyeToy yet possible at that time).
The camera detects automatically the here / the player's face / it, then adjusts the range of the camera, and possibly warns that too little light is available for the correct use or that the tilt angle of the camera is too flat.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This brings me straight to the next point: The camera detection during the game:

What stands out first of all in the eye is the display on the top of the screen: Here you can see yourself as colored silhouette and can optionally even realize that the camera detects the player completely. Here you should make sure that no light sources point directly to the camera, this affects scary on the detection of the camera.

If you move during the game too far to the left or to the right, the camera detects the player suddenly as a new player and the silhouette of the original player is set to gray, and now does not collect more points. Especially outrageous is the whole thing, if you're on the verge of a perfect lap dancing and you will then suddenly recognized as other players with the points then go flutes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we are already talking about the subject of scoring:

In this game, there are four different ways as the synchronicity with the "lead dancer" is displayed (from good to bad)

-> PERFECT
-> GOOD
-> OK and
-> X

Does not apply to a move to get the X and accordingly no points. In addition, there are so-called gold-Moves each of which occur approximately 3-4 times in a song. Trift adding the particularly large number of these points perfectly.

The points are shown on the left of the screen. Add to that star, which is obtained from certain points limits. 5 stars you can collect a maximum per song. The difficulty of the game automatically adapts to the dance level of the player. So you collect at the beginning of fast 5 Stars in songs of difficulty is automatically increased.

Furthermore, you have the option "Mojo", the currency to get into every song in Just Dance in 2014. This currency can activate the On-Stage mode of various songs and avatars. Pointless is here actually only that the micro of the PS4 camera captures the singer or the singer of the song and you jeweilgen thus now and then a perfectly obtained in the karaoke bar under the points bar.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next topic are the game modes. Here Ubisoft has not saved.

In addition to the standard game mode, there is the On-Stage mode (A stage version of a song), the Just Sweat mode (you can choose between different time programs and titles which you then punched through the entire time with small interludes), and finally the World-dance floor.

On the World-Dance-Floor to Just Dance 2 014 players from around the world meet together to dance a certain title.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is also the possibility of the game at certain points automatically by the camera to be recorded. Whoever finds it too embarrassing, this feature may leave the options menu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, the control with the Move controller which I briefly eingehe here:

I have used the controller with the Move controller just once and have come to the conclusion that the free version without controller is much easier to handle. In addition, the detection to the controller works in my test significantly worse than the free version.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion:

An imaginative game with lots of features, but there are places still great need of improvement. Nevertheless, the game is preparing a lot of joy while playing, especially along with 3 other friends. Actually 5 star but what I have to deduct 2 for the above matters for improvement.
