Gameplay

Wii

The Wii version uses very similar style of play to the Just Dance series, in which players dance. There are two modes of play in this version. The first is "Solo", where all players follow the choreographed routine by an on-screen member of The Black Eyed Peas. The second is "Duo", which is made for videos with two members of the group. Up to two players can dance as one of the two members of The Black Eyed Peas. In both modes, pictograms scroll from side to side (much like Just Dance 2).

Kinect

The gameplay of the Kinect version is different from the Wii version. This version has one player create their avatar with the Kinect. Once a song is selected, the player is shown a move that all members of The Black Eyed Peas are doing, and the player has to repeat it for a certain amount of time. The player is scored on how well they repeat the move. The process repeats with other moves.[1]

Soundtrack

The game has a main soundtrack of 30 songs, all by the American musical group The Black Eyed Peas.[2]
