Get Up And Dance is a 2011 music rhythm game developed by Gusto Games and published by O-Games. The game was released on November 4, 2011 for both the Wii and PlayStation 3. Players mimic an on-screen dancer`s choreography for a selected song, using measurements from either the Wii Remote or the PlayStation Move controllers to judge player`s abilities.
Prior to release, O Games settled with the video game publisher Ubisoft after Ubisoft filed for a temporary restraining order against the US release of Get Up and Dance, due to the title of the game`s similarities to Ubisoft`s Just Dance series. Reception to the game was mixed, with critics noting a distinct lack of content when compared to Just Dance games.
Gameplay
[edit]After selecting a song, the player imitates dance poses made by a dancer on the screen.[3] During gameplay, music videos play in the background of the scene behind the virtual dancer.[3] Up to four players can play competitively at once.[3] The game includes either 25 or 40 songs in the tracklist from a wide variety of genres, and does not contain any cover songs.[3][4] A co-operative story mode allows players to dance together to work for a successful career.[4]
Development
[edit]Gusto Games and O Games announced Get Up and Dance in June 2011.[5] In an interview transcript released by the publisher, O Games, the producer of the game noted that Gusto Games had never worked on a dance game before and that they used green screens to record dancers for the gameplay videos.[6] Ubisoft unsuccessfully filed for a temporary restraining order against O Games to stop the game`s United States release because of the similarities to the Just Dance series.[7][8] United States district court Judge Charles Breyer ruled that "Ubisoft has not clearly demonstrated likelihood they are substantially similar."[8] Ubisoft noted its intent to appeal the decision, but the game was able to be released in the US.[9]
Reception
[edit]The game received mixed reviews from critics, who felt it was released among a plethora of other music and rhythm titles that compared unfavorably towards competitors.[3][4] The Guardian`s Sarah Ditum said in a review of the Wii version that Get Up and Dance is an "unremarkable package" and noted the "inconsistency across a limited tracklist."[3] Push Square`s James Newton in a mixed review noted that the game "takes Just Dance as its template" and that "it sticks closer than most."[4] Newton also noted the quantity of other PlayStation Move dance titles that were being released and felt that Get Up and Dance was not unique enough to be successful.[4] Nintendo Gamer criticized the game`s instructions, saying that the prompts for dance moves was unclear and compared it unfavorably to Just Dance.[10]
