Just Dance 2015 is the sixth main game in the dancing series where players perform dance routines, mimicking the moves of on-screen performers, to earn points. The controls are different for each platform. For Wii and Wii U movement is tracked through the Wii Remote, Xbox 360 and Xbox One require the Kinect peripheral, and PS3 and PS4 use the Move controllers along with the PlayStation Eye and PS Camera respectively. You can also download an app to an iOS or Android phone to use it as a controller. The app connects through the local Wi-Fi network and detects the console for the phones to register.
The tracklist varies slightly per region, some of the tracks are offered as DLC and there are a number of cover songs. Artists include Ariana Grande, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, One Direction, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, and Stromae. Songs are divided into different game modes such as Dance Crew, Solo, Duet, and Trio. Alternative routines, sweat routines, non-stop shuffle, and extreme versions are also available.
Some new features include Just Dance VIP, where celebrities record themselves dancing to a song and make it available to play. Autodance is back for all platforms except the original Wii. The Community Remix mode allows players to record custom routines and share them with the community to vote. Other modes include Challenge mode, World Dance Floor mode, Karaoke mode, and Party Master mode.
