Zumba Fitness World Party
Zumba Fitness World Party, développé par Zoe Mode et édité par Majesco Entertainment, est sorti le 5 novembre 2013 sur Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U et Wii. Classé dans les genres sport et musique, le jeu propose un voyage fitness à travers le Brésil, Hawaï et d'autres régions du monde, avec plus de 40 routines, plus de 30 styles de danse et une bande-son incluant Lady Gaga, Pitbull ou Daddy Yankee. Le mode World Tour permet de danser avec des instructeurs Zumba célèbres et de fixer des objectifs de fitness. La presse a salué l'ensemble : Hardcore Gamer y a vu l'équivalent le plus proche d'un cours de Zumba réel, tandis que Worth Playing l'a présenté comme un titre d'exercice complémentaire à Just Dance 2014, et un joueur sur Metacritic a apprécié la variété musicale et culturelle du jeu. L'agrégat de notes s'établit à 76,50.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Zumba Fitness: World Party is the next best thing to attending an actual Zumba class. This is the most polished iteration yet, featuring well-choreographed routines, impressive looking backdrops and a great lineup of hit and world music. »
« Zumba Fitness: World Party works as an exercise title and a complementary title to Just Dance 2014, the only other rhythm game on the system thus far. »
« While it’s one of the most attractive and polished fitness games we’ve ever played, we can’t help but feel like Zumba Fitness World Party could’ve been so much more. Its breadth and depth of content make it an interesting destination to explore, but when we need to push ourselves, we’ll stick with our copies of Core and Rush for now. »
« Zumba Fitness: World Party won’t turn you into the next Fred Astaire, but those with an interest in dancing and some pre-existing talent will find plenty to enjoy in the various global dances. »
« In short, as a game Zumba Fitness World Party is poorly made and poorly structured. But as a supplemental fitness video app, it's great, provided you can get through the menus without any problems. So it's probably a great buy for people already doing Zumba Workouts and other fitness programs, but not much use for anyone else. »

« Zumba is a fantastic game for those who want to have a variety of music and culture in their dancing game, and a fun one to boot. It's a bit more forgiving than Just Dance 2014, so when you hear the music and see the dance patterns it usually gives credit where credit is due, unless you aren't moving of course. If you're looking for household names and pop stars, then look away; this set-list is attune to just the music going to the moves, as well as Zumba original music. That said it's all very fun, there's a solid variety to the songs, and once you find some that you like, you're pretty hooked. Zumba has some incredibly frustrating kinect controls, it was a huge mistake not to implement use of the controller to navigate menus. Also with multiple players, the kinect has a difficult time linking a gamertag to the person, and when you want to sign in to continue your workout progress it becomes very tedious. My only other complaint is that I wish the setlist were a little bit more than 44 songs, but at the same time that's hardly anything to rag on, considering the replay-ability on most of the songs. If you're looking for a game to dance to and maybe get something out of it, Zumba hits the right notes, it'll make you sweat after a few songs, the music is fun, and it really moves every part of your body. Just make sure you have the patience to tolerate the kinect and it's few shortcomings. »
