Motion tracking works well on Joy-Con and the mobile app makes getting a bunch of people involved easier.Looks and sounds great, and there's a decent mix of musical styles in the 40 included tracks.Fans of the series - or anyone who's just danced to even a single track from the series - will know exactly what they're getting here, but newcomers should be aware that they'll need to fork out more cash after buying the game in order to enjoy the full experience. However, it also constantly pushes its subscription service and ends up feeling a little convoluted and tacky as it spends more time flogging tracks you don't own over letting you enjoy the ones included with the base game. It's more of the same with some cool new tracks, a slick and smooth experience overall that plays it safe and works just fine as a result. This is a super slick package, but it really doesn't improve or evolve the formula in any meaningful way and left us pretty cold with its relentless insistence on ushering us to the Switch eShop to spend more cash. It all looks, plays and sounds well, too. The kids mode was a hit in this writer's household, and the online competitive mode will certainly shake you up if you decide to fully engage with it. If you can ignore this aspect of proceedings, you'll definitely get a good few hours of fun with what's included here. We get it, music licencing is an expensive and tricky business, but Just Dance 2022 ends up feeling pretty tacky as a result of its constant pushing of extras. It's not a great look and it very quickly becomes frustrating when your kids are faced with a ton of songs they want to dance to but can't unless you fork out some more cash. Just attempting to cycle through the forty tracks on offer here can prove a massive headache as the menus repeatedly attempt to push you to the eShop to pick up Unlimited. To be fair, the Unlimited subscription isn't particularly expensive, with £19.99 (or $29.99) per year giving you access to a catalogue of 700 tracks to dance along to - and you do get a free month trial when you buy the game - it's just that it's so relentlessly shoved in your face, and if you don't subscribe you're left with a title that spends more time showing you what you don't have than allowing you to enjoy what's actually included. All you need is a single Joy-Con (or a smartphone with the official app) and a reasonable sense of timing and you're all set for some good times. Just Dance 2022 is a colourful and slick experience that arrives with 40 excellent tracks, some solid online action, a pretty neat kid-friendly mode, calorie-burning sweat mode and lots of unlockable bits and bobs to work towards acquiring as you thrash around your sitting room and attempt to match the movements displayed onscreen. Let's not get off to a hugely negative start here, though. What's here is good, there's no doubt about it, but it's all rendered somewhat frustrating as it constantly bombards you with tracks that you'll need a Just Dance Unlimited subscription in order to access. There's a fairly solid bit of dance fun to be had with this one, but it's also overwhelmingly familiar stuff that takes every opportunity it can to shove further purchases into your face.
