CalifmomReviews: Just Dance 2 for the Wii Product Review and Giveaway

Holy dripping balls o’ sweat. Perhaps waiting until the night before I board a flight to Seattle for a ten-day vacation with the family was not the BEST time to try out Just Dance 2 by Ubisoft. Why?

• It’s addicting.


• I’m woefully out of shape.


• I’m a wee bit competitive.


• I didn’t think my tween and teen would love it as much as they did.

Mama’s gonna be SORE tomorrow. If you me at SFO tomorrow, I’ll be the one riding on my rolling suitcase while my kids wheel me to the ticket counter.

Here’s what rocks about Just Dance 2:

• A variety of REAL SONGS by REAL ARTISTS (Avril Lavigne, Beastie Boys, Rolling Stones, Fatboy Slim…you get the idea.)


• 4 Ways to play – Dance Crew Face-Off (you can get up to 8 players going in this mode as long as you’ve got the remotes), Dancing Duets, Dance Party Mode (this is how the kids and I played), and Just Sweat Mode (I may have played in this mode and done a week’s worth of exercise in one night…WHAT? I told you it’s addicting!)

Best of all, if you have your camera at-the-ready, you can score loads of photos and video for blackmailing friends and family members!

• Now, for the good news, if you want to score a copy of Just Dance 2 for the Wii, you can do it one of two ways. You can buy one at a retailer like Amazon OR you can leave me a comment on this post by midnight, November 21st, and enter the GIVEAWAY I’m hosting thanks to the generous folks at Ubisoft who’ve given me an extra copy of Just Dance 2 to give to one of you!

The fine print: While Ubisoft sponsored this review, the opinions I've expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint. Ubisoft, Clever Girls Collective and I promote Blog With Integrity.

If you need me, I'll be soaking my aching muscles in the hot tub.

UPDATE: We Have A WINNER! Thank you all for entering. Remember, you can pick up a copy of Just Dance 2 at retailers like Amazon.

As much fun as I've had with Just Dance,the original version, I'd love to give this a whirl.

[Lynda M Otvos]

Well, I have no Wii, because I really wanted, and got, an IPad instead; however, I have friends who do have one Wii and two kids who are very energetic, and would appreciate the Just Dance as a lovely Holiday gift !~!

[Terry Bain]

I can think of about three hundred reasons I should not allow my children to know about this game, 298 of them having to do with me critically injuring myself.

[Adrienne]

I could really use some good blackmail photos

[Matthew Doucette]

This looks like a load of fun. I've done the exercise games but this looks like it could be a real workout. :)

[dunsany]

Looks like even more fun than Wii Fit. And more opportunities for embarrassing household injuries.

[califmom]

I was DRIPPING sweat. I don't drip sweat.

[Blair Renshaw]

My kids lost there Dad last year and we do dance dance revolution, but your game sounds even more fun. Keep it up. Music and danceare both a big release for us. It's ggod to see another family of three diggin it! Dance on!!!!!

[Summer]

Sounds like a fun game! Thanks for giveaway!

[Tamara R]

From one California Mom to another...thanks for the opportunity to win one of these. I have 3 kiddos that would love to play this and I myself would like the chance to burn some calories after just having baby #4!

[Sarah]

[Amy F]

I've been wanting to play this game-looks like a total blast. I'd love to have a dance off with the extended family at Christmas. :)

[MicroBlogginMom]

Kids (ok, and I) love to dance & would love to win a copy of Just Dance2.

[Lisa]

That looks like fun! Plus it's really funny to watch my husband dance, and totally worth spraining my badonkadonk.

[Stimey]

I think I would really enjoy seeing my small children try to play this.

[Therealcherilyn]

how fun! back in my younger days, i played dance dance revolution (the arcade game. in public!)... SO much fun and a great workout!

[Amanda]

OMG - that looks fantastic. .... but I think I'd be shoving my kids out of the way and most of the embarrassing pics would be of me :)



(Hope all the dancing has brightened your day :)

[farmpuma]

Is that really you jumping into the air like you just don't care? Looks like a very good game recommendation. I hope you have a grrreat vacation in Seattle. And thanks for all the tweets.

[MattOnFire]

I've already got an entire arsenal of sweet dance moves, but maybe this would give me a couple more.

[Eric Thomas]

Do they have the Lindy, or the Charleston? It's been a little while since I cut off a slice of rug.

[Kevin Bell]

I'd love to have a copy for my kids! They always like to try the dance game out at the arcades!

[lisa]

I keep hearing what a fun game this is. Please enter me.

[Coda NUtter]

You sold me!!!I LOVE to dance, this looks like so much fun!!"Just Dance 2" could provide me with weekend kind of fun all week long!Get my dancin shoes on, do a couple of shots, turn up the sound LOUD, and dance dance dance!A cool idea might be..the winner of your contest gets to dance with you and the kids!!!

[Debbie Street]

This could be my ticket out of plateau land! I lost 35 pounds this year and have a good 30 left to go, and I'm really stuck! I need something to do at home and I love to dance, but haven't gotten good at just dancing around the house to my favorite tunes!! And it's something I could go with my about-to-be 14 year old! (DecMoms rock!!)

[Alicia Norling]

That's AWESOME! I loved the first one and so did my students. We were able to hook the Wii up to the projector and use it for rainy day recess and p.e. time. Glad to hear that their song collection seems to be a little more up to date :)
