Cytus II vs Just Dance Now
Cytus II
Cytus II is the sequel to the highly popular action-rhythm game, Cytus, but it's the fourth music game title from the developer, Rayark Games. Set once again in a futuristic, sci-fi society where a mega virtual world exists in the internet space known as Cytus, a mysterious DJ legend called Æsir emerged. His music sold like hot cakes and people fell madly in love with his work. Like Daft Punk (at least while they are performing), no one has ever seen this DJ's actual face, but one day, he suddenly announced a concert where he purportedly will be showing up in person (digital-wise since it's in Cytus). What will go down at this event? Well, no spoilers - Go play the game and you can eventually piece together the story to find out the ending yourself!That said, the game features the same intuitive gameplay but this time around, the game uses a unique "Active Judgement Line" system that makes the actual scan line to move rather than having the notes move. You'll only tap on the notes when the line reaches them, preferably when it's right in the middle. The game also contains a ton of high-quality music (over 50 of them, in fact) featuring composers from all around the world. The genres of the music vary widely as well, from electronic to rock.
Cytus II is an amazing addition to the Cytus series and is a must-play for fans of the original, but even if you have not played Cytus before, you can still appreciate the brilliance in combining immersive storytelling, excellent music, and an intense tapping-based gameplay.
Just Dance Now
Just Dance Now is a dancing simulation/rhythm game developed by Ubisoft which marked the franchise's very first appearance on the mobile platform. The game is very easy to set up and can be insanely fun to play, especially with friends. You simply need an internet-connected screen, which can be your smart TV, your computer or even an iPad, and your smartphone to play. The smartphone works as your controller and will record your movement via its gyroscope function, while the screen will show you what moves you'll need to do.The game houses over 300 hits and constantly is being updated with new songs, so you'll definitely be able to find your favorite tunes to dance to. You can even customize your own playlists of songs to dance to. Songs aren't all free however and will require time and effort to unlock. That being said, the game doesn't really have a limit on how many players who can connect to your game, allowing you to have fun playing this with your family or even with all your friends at a party.
The best feature, however, goes to Heathkit. It functions by roughly measuring how much calories you've burned per song. How cool is that?
Just Dance Now brings all the fun the Just Dance series has to offer and one-up all of them by making the game a whole lot more social and hence, entertaining. It's a crazy fun game to play even if you have two left feet.
