What a treat. I wouldn't have guessed this Kinect game would be so fun but it quickly drew my sons onto the dance floor and they spent an hour playing through the songs. The next day they were back at it again, dancing away to raise their scores.

We own several other Kinect games (Kinect Sports, Wipeout In the Zone and Children of Eden to name a few) but this is the first dancing title we've tried. My sons' favorite songs (as you can see in the video) are:

* Despicable Me
* I Am A Gummy Bear (The Gummy Bear Song)
* Mah Nà Mah Nà
* Jingle Bells
* Lollipop
* Shake Your Groove Thing

What I like most about this title is the cooperative 2-player mode. Many of the Xbox titles are one-player games, so finding something that both boys can play together is great. They dance for about 5-6 songs and then need a break for some ice water. The game isn't as strenuous as, say, Sonic Free Riders, but it...Read more

We already own Dance Central (DC) and we enjoy that. We got Just Dance Kids2 (JDK) because we have a 3 year old and a 6 year old and I figured this would just be like DC, but a bit more kid-friendly. Specifically, here is what I wanted to see improved:

It really bursts their bubble when they get negative feedback at the end of a dance. Little kids don't play for points--they just like to follow along.
3) Some of the characters in DC have clothing that isn't necessarily vulgar, but isn't strictly modest, either. Also, some of the songs are fun to dance to, but are objectionable for kids.
4) More songs with really easy...Read more

My Just Dance Kids 2 Review....

My kids 7,5,4 Really enjoyed playing this game. The songs were excellent and had a nice variety of kids Songs. Some songs were slow, while others can wear down a kid pretty fast. That's what we want right! Even my 9 month old enjoyed watching the screen and her sisters dancing to the music

The backgrounds were fun and well suited for the song being play.

The kids follow along with other kids on screen.

Now for the cons:

The two player works good, but ever time the song is over, you select a new song, and the second player needs to add them self again by waving there hands up. Normally no big deal but.... see below )

The game has a hard time reading people kids at times. You move your hand to hit start and even with a steady hand it moves off the button, that is if it even see's your hand at all. Sometimes when a second player wants to join a game, it does not read them, no...Read more
