Just Dance 2 is a dance video game developed by Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan and published by Ubisoft. The game was released exclusively for Wii on 12 October 2010 in North America and in Australia and Europe on October 14, 2010, as a sequel to Just Dance. Just Dance 2 focuses on improvements and enhancements to the original game, including the addition of new co-operative "Duet" routines, a team-based battle mode, a new exergaming-oriented mode known as "Just Sweat", and support for new songs to be bought for the game as downloadable content.
Just Dance 2 was released to positive reviews, with critics praising its increased polish over its predecessor, new modes, and continued focus on a multiplayer "party game" experience accessible to a casual audience, and not requiring special hardware beyond the console's own motion controller. As of January 2011, Just Dance 2 sold over 5 million copies, making it the best-selling third-party title on the Wii.
The gameplay of Just Dance 2 remains similar to the original; while holding a Wii Remote in their hand, players must mimic the routine of an on-screen dancer to a chosen song. Players are judged based on their accuracy, scoring points.
Selected songs offer "Duet" modes, which feature choreography designed for two players. A new mode known as "Dance Battle" was also introduced; it is a team-based mode in which players compete across a series of songs and minigames to earn points for their team. The mode can be played with up to eight players, divided into two teams of four. A new exercise-focused gameplay mode known as "Just Sweat" was also added; the mode is designed to serve as a daily exercise regiment, allowing players to select an intensity-based selection of songs with progress tracked via "sweat points".
The game contains 47 music tracks, and additional downloadable content (DLC).
Just Dance 2 received mixed to positive reviews. Metacritic lists the game with an aggregate score of 74, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Sales of Just Dance 2 surpassed those of the original; with over 5 million copies as of January 2011, it was the best-selling third-party title for the Wii. Laurent Detoc, CEO of Ubisoft's North American operations, stated that this achievement "[solidified] the Just Dance brand as a pop culture phenomenon."
