Just Dance 2018

As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers (Wii Remotes on Wii and Wii U, PlayStation Move on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, PlayStation Camera on PlayStation 4, Kinect on Xbox 360 and One, and Joy-Con on Nintendo Switch) or the game's associated Just Dance Controller app on a smartphone.

While the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game are based on Just Dance 2015, the current-generation console versions feature an updated user interface, which removed other additional modes except for the "World Dance Floor" to more focus on standard gameplay. In the "Just Dance" mode menu, players can activate Sweat by pressing a certain button on the controller. A new "Super" judgment was added between "Good" and "Perfect", as well as a "Megastar" rank, achievable at 12,000 points. The new "Dance Lab" mode, serving as a spiritual successor to the "Just Dance Machine" mode in Just Dance 2017, using the same scoring mechanic from that said mode, now with the addition of the traditional star ranking system, features medleys of choreography representing different professions and animals, while a new "Kids Mode" was designed to provide a gameplay experience and choreography tailored towards younger players, featuring a revamped scoring mechanic based on the traditional mechanic, with rainbow stars as the max rank, as akin to the "Superstar" rank in the main "Just Dance" mode, in which can also be played in that said mode with the traditional gameplay via searching.

The game was nominated for "Best Family/Social Game" at the 2017 Game Critics Awards. In Game Informer's Reader's Choice Best of 2017 Awards, it took the lead for "Best Music/Rhythm Game". It was also nominated for "Family Game of the Year" at the 21st Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, and for "Family Game" at the 14th British Academy Games Awards. It won the award for "Favorite Video Game" at Nickelodeon's 2018 Kids' Choice Awards, and was nominated for "Fan-Favorite Multiplayer Game" at the Gamers' Choice Awards.
