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 Xbox One movement is tracked through the Kinect peripheral, and other platforms use various controllers. You can also download an app to an iOS or Android phone to use it as a controller.
The tracklist varies slightly per region, some of the tracks are offered as DLC and there are a number of cover songs. Artists for this edition include Ariana Grande, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, One Direction, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Stromae etc. As with previous versions songs are divided into different game modes such as Dance Crew, Solo, Duet and new for this version Trio.
Gameplay features include sweat routines, sweat mashups, non-stop shuffle (absent in the previous game) and extreme versions. The game also has a Dance Mashup mode with new versions of songs based on a specific theme. Additionally, Just Dance VIP is a new game mode where celebrities record themselves dancing to a song and make it available to as a playable routine. Autodance returns for all platforms except the original Wii.
A new mode called Community Remix allows players to record their own custom routines and share them with the community to vote. The development team then turns the highest rated ones into a playable routine for all players. Other people can be challenged using the Challenge mode to beat the score of other players as a ghost version, not as real-time multiplayer which is available in the World Dance Floor mode.
The game's social network is called Just Dance Wall. It is possible to sing along in the Karaoke mode. Returning is the Wii U and Xbox exclusive Party Master mode where one player acts as a game master to interfere with the routines of the dancers.
