This is a real game for the whole family and for all types of audiences. In addition, it uses motion capture with control on each platform, the PS Move, Wii Remote or Kinect.
The Dance Central Spotlight is a totally unique experience on Xbox One - and at its sole Microsoft time. The game is a continuation of the series produced by Harmonix, and the previous titles came out only on Xbox 360, so it was natural. Additionally, Spotlight is only sold digitally, while Just Dance 2015 also available on disk version.
Graphics - Dance Central Spotlight
Although not important, the graphics in both dance games with motion capture, one has to admit that Dance Central Spotlight has a visual presentation much better than its competitor. The characters are in 3D and animated, characterized and designed with beautiful features.
In Just Dance 2015, on the other hand, continues to rely on visual caricature of real people captured with your camera and outlined with bold and vibrant colors that will "teach" the player to roll with the punches. Although to be funny in some songs, this look now sound dated.

While in Just Dance in 2015, what counts is the fun. The catch is not so accurate and the player can make almost any movement in front of the TV to dance without worrying too much about the score - especially if you're playing in a group, where what really counts is laugh at the funny movements of the partners. That's a not a bad thing, since video games are about fun, overall.

Just Dance 2015 now has the dance so in threes before present only in "spin-offs" of the series, and also makes use of Just Dance Now application for mobile devices and fully compatible with the game, to capture movement of players an alternative way.
