I purchased this game as a Christmas gift To my niece. She originally wanted "Just Dance 4" but once she began to play it she could never stop. The whole family joined in on the fun. I love the old school "90's" songs on there. The dance moves are easy to catch on to and you will definitely work up a good sweat while having fun! Great Buy!!

When I found out this was coming out, I immediately got my boyfriend to pre-order it.
It came yesterday, and I started playing last night. It's fun. We didn't want to stop playing.
The graphics are great, and the song choices are excellent. It's a good mixture between old school and new school. Love it!!!
The only thing I didn't like too well, is that they don't really tell you how to do the next move. You kinda have to figure it out from the little man in the corner. You can get past that though, because when you do it once, you can catch on easily or put it in school mode to learn the moves.
I recommend this game to any hip hop lovers. You don't have to be a great dancer. This game has levels for everyone.

This game has awesome music, graphics and it has different levels so anyone can pick up and play. Like the Just Dance games, there are easy and difficult levels of songs in the Wii Hip Hop Dance Experience. The easy ones are actually easier than some of the easy Just Dance selections, but then Hip Hop has a steady and repetitive beat which makes it perfect for a dance/rhythm video game. I'm surprised that it took them this long to come out with this. They did a very good job on this one with routines developed by celebrity choreographers like Laurieann Gibson, Nicki Minaj and Dave Scott. The song selections are excellent and cover about 30 years of hip hop so there's something there that most everyone can recognize.

I thought this would be like Just Dance and wondered why it wasn't a Just Dance Hip Hop product. That's because it's really a distinct product. It's sort of a blend between Just Dance and Zumba, only hip hop style. This one feels more like exercise than dance. It is very repetitive. The choreography is not blocked like Just Dance where when a music phrase repeats, a dance phrase repeats (most of the time). It just feels random. There are 4 game modes. Dance Party rates your best and worst moves and gives you an overall accuracy score. Fortunately, there is a "Power Skooling" mode for practicing moves if you feel self conscious, competitive, or just can't get something. The third mode is the dance battle which is for two or more people. You really are battling in the sense that you are not just trying to do well. You are trying to reduce your opponent's score. The last mode is the dance marathon where you basically dance until you drop. The songs aren't particularly aerobic, so that could be a long time.

To me it's nice to have bonding rituals like that and to do fun things while bonding. So last night me and my folks had an early Thanksgiving dinner and put this on and got a little cray cray. I actually prefer pretty avant guarde music but this stuff really gets the social lubricant going. It builds bonds with your friends, gives you some empowerment and makes you feel like you're gaming with a better reason.
