Just Dance 2021 is the latest in a long line of Just Dance games, each marginally different from the last.

When Freddie Mercury first penned Bohemian Rhapsody back in 1975, there’s no way he could possibly have known the monumental challenge he was laying at the feet of Let’s Sing Queen players some forty-five years down the timeline.
