Gameplay edit
The game is based on Just Dance 2, as the user interface and features are largely identical to that game, with every feature available except the online store. Karaoke-styled lyrics is a brand new mechanic to the Just Dance series, which would later carryover to the main series, starting with the PS3 version of Just Dance 3. Lyrics are highlighted with an icon shown next to the line with a color, based on its icon (light blue for male vocals and pink for female vocals). Players can also choose to play the full version or the short version. A Tutorial mode is also available, showing how each mechanic in the game works.
