Newest games in the 'Just Dance' series makes players want to get moving

If you're looking for a game that's fun, challenging and a great, quick workout, then you'll love "Just Dance 3."

This is the kind of game that anyone can pick up and play without worrying about the story or where they left off — mainly because there is no story. You just dance your heart out.

There are two main options: Just Dance and Just Sweat. In Just Dance mode, players can pick from any song or playlist and must match the moves the dancers do in the game.

The concept is pretty simple, but the dancing itself doesn't have to be. Up to four people can play and dance at the same time and some songs are made especially for multiplayer mode.  

Just Sweat mode is pretty much the same idea, but it acts more like a mini workout program. There are three different workouts ranging from easy to intense and they're tracked by Sweat Points.  

I usually do Just Sweat, since it gives me a goal of points to reach daily and I feel more rewarded when I reach that goal. Personally, I stick with the middle setting, which is only 1,000 sweat points. It's quick and somewhat easy, but still intense enough to kick my butt and leave me drenched in sweat.  

Other cool features include the downloadable and unlockable content; the more you play, the more songs and specials you can unlock.

Some songs include Katy Perry's "California Gurls," Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" and Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'." If you have an Internet connection you can also buy and download more songs. Some are from past Just Dance games, but most are new.

One really cool song available for download is the Mario Bros. theme, which was originally only in the Japanese version of Just Dance. The video for the song has Mario dancing around a few levels from the original NES game. It's a great song for kids to dance to and has to be my favorite song.

Overall, this game is so much fun and the replay value is very high. You'll always discover something new and you can play the songs over and over again until you get high scores on all of them.

This game is available on all consoles and gets my score of five out of five jazz hands. Go buy "Just Dance 3" and free your feet!
