Just Dance VR is the best (and most dangerous) way to play

digitaltrends.com:

Ever since 2009, Ubisoft’s Just Dance series has been one of those gaming juggernauts that’s never stopped moving. Every single year since its Nintendo Wii debut has brought a new installment, spanning generations of consoles. The cold truth, though, is that the series was always at its best on the Wii. It was built around the console’s peculiar motion controls, so it’s never felt like a clean fit for most consoles its come to since. That’s why it’s so surprising that it took this long to get Just Dance VR.

While consoles are getting a standard 2025 edition, headsets like the new Meta Quest 3S are getting a lighter version built around the tech. Unsurprisingly, Just Dance is a natural fit for VR, acting as another great fitness option for those who use their headsets to get some light cardio in. It’s likely the best way to play the series since its Wiimote days, but it comes with a serious caveat: You’ll probably want to turn your apartment into a bounce castle if you want to play it safely.

Dancing in VR

I didn’t need to put on my Quest 3S to know how well Ubisoft’s hit rhythm game would translate to VR, but one sweaty morning with it confirmed my hunch. When I open it up, I’m given a menu full of songs I can choose from. It’s a slim list compared to its console counterparts; it only contains 25 songs compared to the 40 in Just Dance Dance 2025 Edition. It’s a fairly dated selection of songs too, as if its meant to be a quick greatest hits collection from the franchise’s history. Songs like Call Me Maybe, Born This Way, and Ellie Goulding’s Lights really date the project. It’s a little puzzling that it doesn’t share any modern hits with the 2025 Edition, like Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso.

• I had never played Riven before. Its VR remake blew me away
• I’m thrilled about Batman: Arkham’s move to VR — and you should be too

While that’s strange, the core dancing formula just
