What’s It About?
COUNTRY DANCE 2 lets players dance along to their favorite country songs. Although there are some classic artists featured in the game, the majority of the songs are new and recent chart-toppers. Players perform dance moves by shaking the controller to match the prompts and patterns that appear on the screen, in-time to the beat of the music. The game is more about having fun and listening to the music than it is about earning the highest score possible, as there are no rewards associated with achieving superior scores. Nevertheless, the challenge of performing better every time is enough of a factor to encourage players to play over and over again.
Is It Any Good?
Although Country Dance 2 is not the best dancing game on the market, it is one of the few that focuses on country songs. Many of the featured tracks are exclusive to this game, making it an easily enjoyable and worthwhile purchase for any country music fan. That said, the controls are sometimes unresponsive and require players to get very familiar with the specific nuances of the dance moves and how they are registered by the game. Because this dancing game focuses on the movement of a controller and not the players themselves, the dancing motion becomes less fluid and clunky at times, but there are also times when it is seamless and well executed. The end result is a game that should delight country music fans of all ages.
