Just Dance 3 Challenge/Game

ansleya

Ok so Mark (hubby) and I conducted an experiment. I was telling him how great you guys are and my scores are not so great...:sad:

He suggested that maybe the sensor was in a bad place. And he was right! We have a HUGE TV. (60inches) And the sensor was up there on top. So the only thing it was seeing was when my hands were way up in the air. The downside of this is...now it can see ALL of my mistakes! lol :laugh:

But my scores was a tad bit better, however, in my excitement, I didn't write them down...:huh:

So I will post tomorrows scores! LOL

Happy Dancing!

Oh maybe my sensor is in a bad spot too? Surely I'm not that bad a dancer (or I truely am)! How do you know if it is set right?

Well it has been a vile day today, we have had a very humid day where the temp hit 35°C (95°F) and even with the air con running, dancing was a very sweaty affair. Oh I dream of the day I can get to 10000

Jump: 7835
Take One me: 9331
Dynamite: 5466 - tried it again being another character 6737. Which character do you all choose? I generally choose who ever is on the far left.

Also received the "Sweat me a river" award, which was very fitting for today.

LOL@ Sweat me a river! That's awesome!! I chose the woman dancer on the left. I think she's wearing red? I might need to switch up, too. Well, your sensor may be ok. As I said mine was 5ft in the air. And I'm only 5'8"! So it was just getting the top of me. It's now on a small side table right in the front of the TV so it can see all of my moves (I think). I said it should be in the middle of my body, but we'd have to figure out how to get that done. I dunno...In the meantime, 10k eludes me! :bigsmile:

Where do you live that it is 95? It's 32 here today! Brrrrr!

AND................I'm putting a CALL out!! Where is everyone else?? Even if you only do it once a week, please share your scores! Even if they are low, please share your scores! We all want to see the progress of each other. And we want tips or hints or notes about what is working for you and what isn't!! OK??? :happy:

I'm off to see my (maybe) next school!! In the snow!! UGH!

Happy Dancing!!

Morning Dancers,

My highest scores so far are:

Take On Me - 10119
Jump - 10147
Dynamite 9090

I started over Sunday and picked the highest weekly challenge/sweat points I think it is called. Both nights my head has been soaking wet - and I don't normaly sweat - so this is good. I like the R&B songs the best - still trying to figure out how to start with our challenge songs then switch to R& B. I've been doing it the other way around. While I like these songs better than JD2 - it seems harder to control things. :grumble: Minor rant is over

Took this up today...after one practice run of each (I hadn't done these songs before), my second-time-through scores were:

Jump 9324
Take On Me 10002
Dynamite 9753

I'll try to do it again at least once before Thursday!

YAY! Well I can explain a little (what I know so far) about the game, if anyone doesn't know all about it or is thinking of getting it.

At the beginning screen (main menu): You have Dance, Sweat, Store, and Options.

If you choose Dance, it will go to the song list and you can scroll along to choose one. (I think there are 45 songs) When you perform the song it will give you points on how well you did the movements. This is your "Score". You also get little side comments like "Lazy" or "In Rhythm" lol

If you choose Sweat at the main menu, you see the next screen says "Free Session" and "7 Day Challenge". The free session is for 4 players. I don't know anything about this because I haven't done it yet. The "7 Day Challenge" is just what it says. 7 Days for you to rack up sweat points that are equal to other activities. Such as, the first challenge is the "Fresh Start". This challenges you to get 3500 sweat points in a week, 500 for the day and this is equal to walking for 30 mins a day! The next challenge is a step up. It's called the "Healthy Choice". This is 7000 sweat points for the week/1000 per day. This is equal to running 30 mins a day. The highest challenge is the "Sweat Explosion". This is 21,000 sweat points for the week! 3000 a day and equal to swimming for 30 mins. Choosing one of these challenges will automatically put the counter on your progress bar (where you get the stars top left of screen) The icon is a sweat drop and the points will add up! Side note: The first song you do will say (for instance) 300 sweat points. Then your next song might say 600 sweat points. That is, unfortunately, not indicating that you were totally awesome and sweating up a storm! That means you got another 300. And they are adding each of your song's sweat points together to get your whole day tally. So, as you do more songs, your points will be added together for every song. So you can see your progress!!

If you choose Store, that will take you to the Wii Store of JD3 and you can purchase extra songs for 250 Wii points each. There are only 4 extra songs at the moment. I hear there are more to come.

If you choose Extras, You will see Options, Medals, Archives, and Credits. If you choose Options you will get 4 choices to turn on or off (checkmark means ON): Display Lyrics, Display Pictograms(the little people in the right lower corner that show you the next dance move), Display help screens, and Usage Tracking (I have yet to find where this is tracked, can someone help me here?). If you choose Medals it will take you to the medal page where they are tracked. There are 16 different ones and each medal has 3 goals Such as: Get 1 star in every song, Get 3 stars in every song, Get 5 stars in every song: then you win the medal. If you choose Archives, well I don't know what will happen for you. I get an empty screen that says "wii memory left" and a number. And Credits list who made the game :happy:

Ok 2 last things then I swear I'll wrap it up: There is an option on the top right side of your screen and the top left side. The top left has a musical note. Choosing this will give you access to premade playlists of several genres: Pop. Rock, All 80s, etc. Top right has a giftbox and these are the "gifts" that you earn by getting stars performing the songs. Every star you get counts. There is a "countdown" page that will tell you how many stars you need to get a gift. They start out small like you need 5 stars, then 10, etc. When you hit the number that you need you get "gifts" like Mash-ups. These take a specific song and add dance moves from other songs. So if you get tired of the regular moves in that particular song, you can do the mash-up and mix it up a little.

Ok, I think that is all I know about the game so far. Please feel free to add or to help me out here. I just got started, so I certainly don't know everything :flowerforyou:

Thanks

What's this? I like to Dance...I would like to join!!

Hey sweetie! We are exercising in a game called Just Dance 3. It is for the Wii, Playstation, Xbox, or the Kinect game console that hooks to your TV. It's a lot of fun if you want to join us! You can get the game at Target, Walmart, etc if you have a Wii or one of those consoles. We'd love to have you join!

I'm trying to find time before Thursday! I should be able to post at least once this week, haha.

What does everyone think about moving this to the spiffy new Group?

lilroo82

Now we've got the group I wasn't sure where to post, but seeing as the new songs are out tomorrow, thought I may as well put my efforts here! Only had one more chance to do the 3 songs this week, so here goes...

That's the link to the new group! We have a new song list every Thursday evening (Central Time) so if you want you can start tomorrow, or look and see what this week's songs are and do it today.

gwenmf

I think as long as we all have 3 we have the same songs. The only difference should be whether you've bought it or are renting it, because if you bought it from Target, you have two extra songs, Airplanes and some Rhianna song, and if you bought it from Best Buy you have two extra Katy Perry songs, and if you're renting it you have neither. So maybe if you have the extra songs (or any that you bought from the online store) those are off limits for the challenges.

I guess I'm too late for this challenge....I ordered mine from Amazon cuz I had a gift card...it should come today........when you redo the challenge, i want in!!

ansleya

Looks like CandaceLeeAnn may be our winner again this week.
