Best Dance Dance Revolution Game (2024 Updated)

After reading a great number of reviews on here, I still was not sure if this product was worth the money. I decided to buy it anyway. I now find that is is a lot of fun and definately worth the money.

It is difficult but I would hope that I would not be able to beat something that was this expensive quickly. I will definately get my moneys worth. It is great exercise, and the songs are good even though it is not the actual people singing it (but if it was, then it would be a whole lot more money).

The only complaint I have is that it should have come with more instructions on how to change some of the settings, but I figured it out. And to the people that say it is stupid that you have to use the remote and nunchuk.

You don’t! You can turn that feature off. I would definately recommend.

I got this game for my 13th birthday. i asked for it becuz i thought it looked fun. But when i started playing it it was not fun at all! First of all there are hand motions and feet motions and u get confused at what is what.

but u can turn them off but it still not fun with them off either. And the songs are not good at all. I think the only good songs that i like on there are black and white(not MJ version) and tootsee roll(original version not good version) so i would not reccommend this product.

i am taking it back ASAP. I am going to trade it for the wii fit.

I bought this game as a workout product until Wii Fit is available again. The funny thing is that it’s SO much fun, I barely feel like I’m working out and am in no hurry now to get the Fit!!! I also work out twice as long as I used to just because it’s so addicting.

Everyone that comes over and dances wants to get it. I haven’t tried hooking up to the PC yet so can’t comment on that but intend to one of these days. I’m hoping I can get more songs. The only negative thing I can say is that the dance mat that comes with it is pretty lame.

I recommend buying the 1″ thick mat sold separately. Your feet will thank you!.

Highly interactive game with a wide variety of music–ranging from pure techno and club to hip-hop and classic remixes. The in-game tutorial is excellent for teaching anyone that is new to this game series.

Do not expect to learn how to “dance” in any form–this game is designed to challenge your eye-to-feet response, personal agility, and balance. The DDR series is great for burning calories (especially if you are holding additional weights, dumbells, or a curl bar while playing) and for having fun with friends.

You can connect up to 3 or 4 dance mats on a single console for a great time with several competitors. The in-game calorie counting mechanism does not appear to be incredibly accurate or useful, but the idea of having that type of logic built into the game is a nice concept.

You can quickly work up a sweat while playing DDR and continue to increase the difficulty level as you improve your dance steps to each song. In short, I highly recommend the DDR series of video games–it creates a fun atmosphere to enjoy by yourself or with several others, while working off any fast-food visits that you might have made that day 😉 Enjoy!.

The 2007 edition of “Dance Dance Revolution Universe” for Microsoft’s Xbox360 takes a big step upwards and onwards in dance-dance evolution with lots more rockin’ tunes, higher-definition graphics, and plenty of all-new game modes.

Here’s what you get: More than 65 new songs, including special songs and dance remixes made exclusively for the Xbox 360; licensed songs; and real-world hits — over 100+ minutes of music! All-new nonstop megamixes now offer “DJ continuous mixes” of multiple songs by popular dance-music artists such as Depeche Mode; Earth, Wind & Fire; and the Sugar Hill Gang.

just like a real club! New features and enhancements to the original DDR Series and include Challenge Mode; Edit mode; Jukebox mode; Party mode; Quest mode; Training mode; Workout mode; and even Live mode! How-To-Play, Trial and Super-Easy modes — all specially created for this Xbox edition — help first-time players and beginners get up to speed! Brand-New Relay mode lets you “hand off” your fancy footwork to members of the team, so you can keep the party dancing all night long! Xbox-enabled line online competition lets up to 4 Players compete head-to-head (and step by step) in real time; download new songs and dance steps; upload content; view Internet ranking; exchange Instant Messages/email; talk live and more! Coming soon, if not already available: Xbox 360 exclusive downloadable song packs! But the DDR Universe is not perfect: Background graphics are still cheesy — which might be OK if they were not so distracting — and it is not yet possible to add your own music.

Published by Kunami, Dance Dance Revolution Universe for the Microsoft Xbox 360 is not yet rated but does feature suggestive themes and lyrics. Comes with its own exclusive DancePad plus the game disc and instruction book.

Requires a joystick controller. If you are a Dance Dance Revolutionary who has NoT YeT added this Microsoft Xbox 360 edition to your repertoire. then you’d best get to STePPiN’~{{;>}~!!!* *Thank you for reading this review.

I owned DDR Universe 2 first. I was hoping this game would not be much different, as I liked DDRU2. Well, it’s almost the same. I thought the workout mode that counts the calories you burn while playing was new in #2, nope, it wasn’t.

The voiceover person says almost exactly the same things, except in this game it’s a girl. In DDRU2, it’s a guy. The quest mode is different. The most important thing is, however, that there are over 70+ unique songs in this version that are not in DDRU2.

And I believe DDRU3 also is all new songs. You can also use the dance mat from any of the XBOX 360 versions with any game in this currently 3 part series. Fun game, good exercise. It’ll keep track of those burned calories over time.

It’s hard to learn at first, but trust me, if you have any rhythm, you’ll eventually get good at this game.

The sixth DDR released in North America for the PlayStation 2, “Supernova 2” isn’t the best choice for the PS2 owner (that would be the previous “Supernova”), nor the second best (that would be “DDR MAX 2”), but it’s a solid third place.

What it does right, it largely inherits from its prececessor. What it does wrong can be squarely laid on the shoulders of its music producers and licensers. By this point, pretty much everyone in gaming knows DDR, so a summary of basic gameplay can be skipped.

The key is how the game is presented and what varieties are available. In addition to the basic arcade-style game, Supernova offered solid “advanced” games such as a versus mode, the best exercise mode the series has ever known, and then sabotaged it with the aggravating “Stellar Master Mode”, a confusing mission mode that had to be completed to unlock over a third of the game’s soundtrack and all the extra modes.

Supernova 2 simplifies this with a “Hyper Master Mode” which at least allows players to progress more quickly through unlocking new stuff. However, it shares the same dubious design decision as Stellar Master Mode: most of the challenges change the nature of the game, sometimes radically (arrows are rearranged, superimposed, invisible, move at confusing speeds, etc.

). Given how much effort has to be invested in these Master modes to unlock much of the soundtrack and gameplay, you wonder: what’s the real game, arcade mode, or Master mode? It’s as if “Madden NFL 2008” only offered the NFC teams at the start, and made you play silly quarterback challenges and punt/pass/kick contests to unlock the AFC, team-by-team.

Fortunately, Hyper Master Mode is a lot easier to beat, since you can buy “support modules” to help you clear difficult challenges. For example, if a challenge requires you to hit a certain number of combos, a module that turns “good”s into “great”s will keep your combos going.

So you’re less likely to hit a brick wall in Hyper Master Mode than in the previous game’s Stellar Master Mode. But it’s still annoying to have to invest so much time in this mode at all. I exercise with DDR every day, and I appreciate how good Supernova’s exercise mode was, and am grateful it is copied lock, stock, and barrel for Supernova 2.

You can maintain multiple profiles and histories for exercise players, protect them with passwords, and design your own custom exercise courses (also possible in MAX 2, but not in the “Extreme”s). The catch is that you need to start unlocking songs quickly to build a tolerable workout.

Supernova 2’s default song list contains a lot of low-speed R&B and slow pop from popular performers like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, etc. Some of the licensed songs, like Chris Brown’s “Say Goodbye” and especially Gwen Stefani’s “Wind It Up” are particularly ill-suited to DDR-style dancing.

There are licensed songs that work in this format, like Fatboy Slim’s “The Rockafeller Skank”, but sadly, they’re the exception. Doing a workout of 17 all-random songs, on “basic” for the first and last and “difficult” otherwise, I found I was only burning 350 calories, compared to 450 for similar workout schedules on Supernova.

Only after unlocking the usual DDR J-pop suspects like Be For U, Riyu Kosaka, Naoki Maeda, Anettai Maji-Ska Bakudan, etc. , could I get the speed to a point where it was interesting and valid exercise.

So, full points for taking the best of Supernova, addressing the worst problems of Stellar Master Mode (though.

The short and simple. SuperNOVA 2 is a good stand-alone game, but when compared to the original SuperNOVA it becomes significantly inferior. The developers and the fans harped about how great the second SuperNOVA would be; I mean SuperNOVA was one of the more successful DanceDance Revolution games on the console.

It’s wide variety of music and might I add catchy tunes, that you just wanted to play over and over again. The different styles of gameplay endorsing teamwork and cooperation or battle and competition.

And he graphics and animations were a nice addition to the upbeat music. With such a large fan-base, but old and new DanceDance fans, it was a perfect time to produce a new smash-hit sequel. Or release a major disappointment to the fans.

SuperNOVA 2 just lacked many of the qualities that SuperNOVA contained. More songs were hidden and locked in the campaign, and many of those ‘hidden’ songs were the more superiors songs; the ones that you wished and/or wanted to play, but had to go through the torturously easy (or hard) campaign mode.

Although many of the issues of difficultly were fixed in the SuperNOVA 2 (such as items that allow you to make more mistakes but still pass the song) it still was as painfully or in my opinion more painful to drag through the campaign mode.

I just want to play the game! Right? While still talking about the songs, I’d like to add that the song selection felt more limited or restricted. The music either seems to be famous pop-artist songs or these really generic beat-box rap.

Perhaps it was to appeal to the general public or something to that effect, it just didn’t seem to fit the DanceDance game-play. At least for me, I always enjoyed the techno/trance feel of DanceDance, that strong bass, and the catchy eletronica noises that made your feet want to move; and with most of the Dance Dance game lines there has always been a good handful of songs that endorsed that, such as Butterfly, Xephyrs, or MAX even Captain Jack.

With SuperNOVA 2, it felt that is lost that sense of the Dance Dance ways. The final and last thing was that SuperNOVA 2 did not evolve. With every sequel to a game, you usually make an improvement of one or the other.

For example, many of you may know the Halo series. When Halo moved to the sequel Halo 2, it make several improvements including graphics, dual-wielding gameplay, and of course the famous cooperative play campaign.

But with SuperNOVA to SuperNOVA 2, it made no improvements; the graphics remained the same, the gameplay options were the same, and there was no special improvement to the game. The only difference from SuperNOVA and SuperNOVA 2 was the music.

I felt that the designers of DanceDance just the programming code of SuperNOVA, replaced the music, repackaged it, and renamed it SuperNOVA 2. Perhaps the title of SuperNOVA 2 should have been SuperNOVA: The Expansion.

When you think about it, doesn’t the Playstation have a USB port, and online capabilities? Couldn’t you have released extra song packages over the internet, and charged something, similar to iTunes or X-box Live? I guess not, that would be too good of an idea; and we couldn’t have that.

Overall, the game isn’t necessarily bad. But when it’s compared to any other Dance Dance game it becomes inferior. SuperNOVA 2 is a great stand-alone game, but whenever I have the choice to chose between which DanceDance game I would like to play; this one runs near the bottom.

So if you want the game, buy it used – eBay?.

As a mom of teenage kids I try to keep up with what they are doing. DDR is one of the trends that I have been watching for a while. As a game lover myself, I saw the value in not only the competitive appeal that games hold but also a way to get my kids (and myself) out of the gaming chairs and doing something active together.

I love it! I’m not as good as they are since my mobility is not as good as it used to be, but I enjoy practicing and playing on the beginner/basic levels and doing the workout modes. The kids are at my level so far, but will soon surpass me I’m sure.

I highly recommend getting the game and two mats. It is great to get the family involved. Even my husband is getting into it, the man who all of our married life has said to me he won’t dance! My kids’ friends are all wanting to come over now to play with them.

I like being able to provide fun things for them to do with friends that will keep them occupied and out of trouble. If you are looking for something fun that the whole family can get into and you already have a gaming system (PS2,PS3, Xbox, etc), then I highly recommend DDR as a great choice.

It is fun to do and has the side-effect of getting the gamers (and their parents) up and active. So moms, dads, grandparents even, get up off of that thang, and DANCE!.

This “dance” game(for which I bought a separate dance pad from the Wii fitness balance board) splatters the screen with neon flashy bursts of speed faster than hell. Just choosing a game, trying to follow a step or listen to chipmunks-on-old AKII drum machine-remake music is like trying to write the Constution on meth and acid.

I don’t know, maybe you can make it slow down enough to make the choice of program and song (very limited songs despite the box claiming tons of “smash hits” none are original and I only hope songwriters getting royalties).

There is no place in the game/system to just freestyle dance and the games are without instruction, so whatever it chose for you it ends in about 30 confusing seconds. That is no workout. This isn’t dancing.

I suppose you either have to telepathically connect with the game to know what it wants you to do and when. The extra sound effects and crowd booing are creepy and who wants to be booed while trying to work out?! I have been student and taught dance (tap, ballet, etc) my entire life and was looking forward to this game.

For a dancer this is a total waste. I can dance to my iPod, watch Gene Kelly and tap out the number on my own. I do not recommend trying this game, unless you are some kind of computer game freak and know how to fix the problems, and likes to step around to chipmunk music.

If you want it to truly dance, my default work out is to put on music loud and get funky! If you like to torture yourself audiovisually and using your hands and feet, this might be right down your dark alley.

good night and good luck!.

Good item. Works. DDR hottest party 2 has the best game mechanics out of the Wii games, but it doesn’t have original tracks like the other sequels do.

The Dvd Dance revolution ultra mix is great. my son and i are beginners but yet we spend hours dancing and work up quite a sweat and that is on the easy levels. there are many songs to choose from and many difficulty levels as well.

we are only on the first 2 levels so we have many more to go. For my family this is a great entertainment and also gets everyone off the couch since we live in a time of sedation, sitting behind computer screens and TV screens all day.

This keeps us active and we have fun competing.

I bought this game with stomppads thinking I was about to bring my arcade experience home with me. I was half correct. The game itself is perfectly challenging with a nice variety of levels and songs.

However, the stomppads do not coincide with my previous experience. Because they are simply one big piece of fabric, one has no idea when a foot is placed in an incorrect spot, or when the plant foot moves.

The game itself is great, the stomppads could simply have been designed better.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why this game hasn’t completely come out of its shell yet. This game will have you down to your scivvies and jogging shorts in no time. Very intense play where you have to step on a dance pad in time to a beat.

Maybe a 1/4 of the songs are well heard of, the other 3/4 I really don’t think are top of the charts. They are quite tolerable though. Mostly techno of course. Game play is easy for someone over 10 years old.

There are many levels of game play so you can challenge yourself at an impossible level, or just use it as a fun easy workout. Everyone that visits wants to either purchase the game after trying it, or wants to play more, so it’s also a great ice breaker for company at the house.

Down sides are clear. You can’t play it without the pad. It’s just useless. Some versions come with the pad, but if not you are looking at 20-30 bucks even in the world of EBay. The graphics are horrible.

Once you see the dancing and graphics you will clearly see what I mean. The fortunate part of this down side is that you really don’t have the time to pay attention to the graphics you are going at such a pace.

Your friends in the background will surely be pointing out the out of place dance moves on the screen.

I think the first game was awesome. I wish I could give this game a fair review. I wish there was a disc replacement program where i can get playable discs for the scratched ones i have. I tried disc dr and this machine that spirographs the disc i am better at hand buffing the games.

Great quality and it’s a energized game that’s for sure!! I enjoy using the workout mode, it changes pace and steps when you become a master it’s still hard!! The smooth game quality allows me to enjoy it for the future of the konami game legacy.

I would in the future purchase other game to continue the series. I would recommend this game to anyone it is really for children, adults, to make you sweat, and do repeating the arrows and the back rounds are designed to mess with your eyes while playing!!! The game has some of the hottest tracks from all over the world it makes it dynamic.

Master at any skill from beginner to medium, difficult, expert mode!.

I got the game and when i walk to the door i have a package soo im like sweeet DDR came!!!!!!!! i pop in the disk take out the dance pad and start moving. Oh my god i dont think ive ever gotten such a workout from a video game like this.

After i completed a couple songs in a row im sweating like i am after 30plays during football practice as a DE. The songs are great and can keep you playing for a while. The best part about it if you see the game at the arcade and dont want to embarrass yourself at the arcade you can do it in the security of your home.

I have fell multiple times playing songs so make sure you got somthing to grab on to but other than that its a great game and once i beat this i will movie to Universe 3!!.

Being one of the dedicated and huge fans of the series, I had to buy this game sooner or later, not only for myself but for my family as well! And guess what? We are playing this game again and again like there is no tomorrow! This game certainly contains some of my old favorites, such as “Butterfly(2008 X-edit)”, “DUB-I-DUB(2008 X-edit)” and “Boys(2008 X-edit)” to name a few, as well as brand new songs such as “Suki*Mero”, “Koko Soko” and “Always on my mind” to name a few.

As far as I can tell, this game has around 80 songs, much more than English released version has and that is one of the reasons I prefer to play Japan version over English version! And to my surprise, some of the menus are in English so I have no problems at all! As for the characters, there are some of my old favorites, such as “Emi”, “Alice”, “Yuni” and “Baby-Lon” to name a few as well as brand new ones, such as “Zero”, “Gus” and “Julio” to name a few.

For the first time ever, if I am not mistaken, this game DOES have the tutorial mode along with voiced instructions! That is one of reasons I highly recommend this game to all veteran players as well as all new-comers to the series!.

This is the best DDR mix i’ve played on a console since DDR Extreme2! Anyone from beginner to guru should get this! The stepcharts for just about every difficulty level have been well designed (and I’ve played all the ps2 DDR games so I know), and for me, Expert difficulty is fun again! I’ve played all the easier difficulties on all the songs and I’d say it’s well rounded.

Some great favorites from the past return in this one as well! As far as control feel, they changed the timing window (in non tech terms, the step reaction) when you hit an arrow so it feels much more with the music and it’s not hard to get perfects but not terribly easy either, feels great and one of my favorites of the ps2 DDR games.

Not bad to play even with the cheap soft pads, and I can only imagine how much better it can get with pad upgrades from RedOctane like the Ignition or the metal pads such at the Cobalt Flux (I wish I had one!).

The game is brand new which is awesome. The mats are also new, but since they aren’t the original DDR mats. they slide around if you’re trying to do anything higher than light mode. Still, great value and the mats are great if you’re a beginner.

sucks it has only 25 songs and have to access ps store for rest. otherwise does what a DDR game does correctly.

What I love most about Dance Dance Revolution is the upbeat fast paced songs to dance to. The songs in this version are neither upbeat or face paced, they are a random illogical assortment. Most of them don’t have a good dance beat at all.

I miss the Japanese electronica.

Best series ever. I love the music and the characters.

Like the title says, It’s a fun game if you know what you are buying. The interface in the entire game takes some getting used to. And the “story” mode, if that’s what you want to call it, is a little sketchy at times with it’s unclear objectives.

About the songs: There’s a nice collection, not too techno heavy but there are only a few songs that people will know. But since you can find the game for a cheap price (for me it was 99 cents + 2/3 dollar shipping) it’s a good find.

Mine was shipped and received in a little over 48 hours 🙂 So, if you have half-a-brain or are a fan of the series, I’d say keep an eye out for this game. 4/5.

Bought this to add to my collection of DDR games. The game works great and has a good selection of songs. Its pretty on par with other DDR games for the ps2 when it comes to features. Not my favorite edition but its a fun game and it definitely will be part of my regular rotation.

I love the game!! Great songs overall and its awesome to play with the family. If you ever get bored of sitting on the chair and just using your head and fingers; this game will change your life forever.

It gets you moving and is a great workout. Plus, if you keep playing this game you soon see the results such as: faster reflexes, stronger legs, improved cardio, and so much more. Also, it has a great tutorial if it is your first time playing to give you hand with whatever it is you need help with.

I hadn’t played any DDR since I was in middle school, so this game is like a time machine. I have had a blast dancing to all the ridiculously and challenging songs in this iteration of DDR, and who could forget the Whistle Song? Not this dancer! I would highly recommend this installment of the series for any returning veteran or newcomer that wants to shamelessly dance to some crazy music.

I absolutely love this game. It is SO much fun to play, whether it be on your own or with friends and/or family. This was the first DDR game that I ever had and it was a hight right away. It’s so much fun to dance dance around and try to keep up with the arrows on the screen.

It can be absolutely hilarious playing with friends: especially if you’re playing the harder or faster levels against people – you’re either racing like a bunch of crazies or you’re messing up and it’s just too good.

This is an awesome game to have in your collection!.

DDR Supernova 2 (US version) is very similar to the DDR Supernova 1 (Japan) with most of the good songs that were missing from the previous US version. The licenses are actually pretty good and diverse, much more modern.

most of the songs you will recognize. The graphics are improved from the older DDR games and it has several extra modes and supports the PS2 Eyetoy camera as well. Overall, this mix is great and is a must have for your DDR collection.

After having been a tournament level competitor back in the day, I think I have a decent grasp on DDR. When it comes to Supernova though, its the crappiest thing to old players everywhere. The interface is horrible and training mode is so messed up that trying to play a song, let alone select one, is like fumbling around in the dark.

The fact that you have to unlock certain things by playing through a n00b kiddie land of “do this a specific way to win” is a complete insult for any seasoned player, and highly annoying. The fact that this game also includes really crap pop hits from the US does not add to its appeal for the DDR vet.

In fact, its makes the game completely awful because the timings are off, the songs are cut to like nothing, and the songs aren’t that great. I don’t know what Konami was thinking about this (or Extreme, man did they mess that up too! but just in terms of interface), but it’s a total steaming pile.

I don’t recommend this game if you’ve been dancing from the beginning. And by that I mean like 3rd mix and on, or even the original. I know some players like to change and adapt with the new gimmicks but this was too much for this old school player.

This game is actually comparable to the Wii’s “Hottest Party. ” The songs have great beats, there are different modes, and it is pretty easy to navigate through the menus and options. The only problem is that the arrows are sometimes hard to see because of the flashy background.

The game mat is also a little slippery on hardwood floors. Other than that, a great and inexpensive DDR game.

I bought this game for my mom. One day my mom, my brother, and I were at a local arcade shooting some pool when we decided to try out this cool looking game, DDR Extreme 2. We were instant addicts. I had to go to Wal-Mart and purchase the newly released DDR Supernova for the PS2.

My mom was jealous and bought a plug and play one. She was disappointed with this version. So for Mother’s Day, I decided to give her my old PS1 and purchase her a DDR for it. When I recieved the game, I had to test it out.

The game is fun but seems to be for more advanced players. I did not try out everything on the game just played a few rounds. I think when she gets it she will enjoy it. I only have my doubts about it simply because I have the newest most updated DDR out, and know it’s true potential.

As far as graphics and music selection the game is perfect. Of course you still have some of those japanese songs where you can’t understand a word, but it is to be expected. PRODUCT IS GREAT! Would definetly recommend as long as it’s your first one to purchase.

Wonderful starter. I can’t wait until the DDR sweeps the world. Yours truly, DDR Fanatic.

This is a must have for any hardcore DDR fan out there. It’s got a whole bunch of great Konami originals (thus the name of the game), along with some songs not seen in previous arcade versions. The menus and whatnot are from the Japanese version of 4th mix, which gives it more of an arcade feel.

Overall I am very satisfied with this game, and I have no complaints. Now if I could just find an arcade machine with a memory card slot.

I bought this game for my kids and their friends to play with. Yea, very disappointment. I thought you be able to plug in the tv and play. It doesn’t. There are two mats and a dvd for the tv. i tried to have it play for two players yea they only have it for one player.

I think this is a waste of money. I think the better age for this is 2 to 5 years old cause they don’t really understand how it is played. i don’t recommend this to anyone. Don’t waste your money on this game.

I really LOVE these games, ALL of the DDR games are fun and are always a GREAT value. I had my Wii for a year and it was great until something happened and it got bricked, so we got a new Wii and were about to play DDR when we found out.

OH NO! The new wiis aren’t gamecube compatible. So I went searching online and got my wii finally unbricked with. Wouldn’t you know it THE GAMECUBE controller. Anyways the game is REALLY fun and is great for losing weight slowly but surely! I love how one player can play one difficulty while another can play an easier or harder difficulty.

What’s also great about these games is that the mats are somewhat easy to transport, if you fold them back up the way you got them in the box they eventually flatten out and you can take them almost ANYWHERE! (If you have room) The mats are also good at sticking to the ground and not moving when you do the jumps and the harder levels.

On the bottom of the mats they have a sort of silicon rubber that helps keep it planted to the ground. If you have a flat carpet with no bumps or anything it will slide though, not to much and it isn’t to noticeable until you finish dancing to the song you just were because your feet move with it.

Over all this is a great game! It has a neat feature in the beginning when you put the disc in for the very first time where you can choose to unlock everything yourself or already have it unlocked. Also for the people new to DDR it has some really easy to follow tutorials.

They start out easy and gradually work your way up to the harder stuff like jumps and crossing. Most of the songs in the beginning (If you choose to unlock everything yourself) are pop songs or older 60s-80s songs.

Once you start to unlock songs and dancers and costumes you get more of the cool techno music that is REALLY fun to dance to! And even when you unlock those songs you can still play them on the easiest setting or the hardest setting.

Some of the songs have an extra level setting that is EVEN HARDER then the hardest setting on most of the songs. This game is really fun and I hope you will take the time and money unfortunately ) to get this great game.

The price is a little on the high side but keep in mind you get a mat along with the game. And let me tell you it is worth it! My mom even loves playing this with me when she comes over, she has lost weight playing this game.

I definitely recommend this game for kids and adults of almost every age. If your kids are to small to play on the mat give them the wii remote or a gamecube controller and let them have just as much fun as you!.

I love the game Dance Dance Revolution for the Nintendo Wii! This game is so much fun and I really enjoy playing it. I love the big dance pad with the arrows that is used for the game. This game is also good workout for your legs.

If you have not played Dance Dance Revolution for the Nintendo Wii yet I highly recommend it!.

Use this game to excercise. Set a calorie goal to burn and stop when I reach the goal. I’m playing between and hour and hour an half. It’s very fun!

This game does not have much of a story unlike the other games, but it is understandable because it’s a much older game. It however has all the awesome classic songs from DDR. My love for this game has a lot to do with nostalgia, but it’s still as awesome as I remember it.

Some of the songs included are: Dark black forest, I like to move it, Sandstorm, My generation, Dynamite Rave, Drop the bomb, AM-3P, Exotic ethnic, Matsuri Japan, Paranoia evolution, Healing vision, Kind lady, Trip machine climax, Era (nostalmix), Spin the disc, Candy, Max 300.

If you have played DDR or just started out, I definitely recommend this game, and think it’s a must-have for the collection.

A friend had told me that a good DDR game is something every gamer needs, and I believe it! This game is awesome! I thought that it would be so difficult to get into the swing of things but even though I still need a lot of practice I enjoy mastering the beginner songs and unique game play.

Another plus is that I get a great workout that beats the treadmill hands down and I get to listen to some great dance music. I have no rhythm to be spoken of and yet I am able to enjoy this game. The game can be an intense workout for the body and I have some problems dancing without shoes or socks (this is for the soft foam dance pad peripheral by the way)as the game instructions recommend due to a previously existing foot ailment, so I use good workout shoes while playing.

I would much rather damage a dance pad that I can replace than injure my feet or legs. Despite this, I still love the game. I would not recommend this game for someone suffering from a preexisting condition or injury to the back, hips, legs or feet since the harder songs demand that you move quickly and/or jump while playing, sometimes many times during the song.

This game is wonderful for parties, or for friends to play together. I have yet to play any other DDR games yet I know this was the first DDR game for the PS2, so I thought to start from the beginning and the quality and fun factor of this game makes me want to buy more!.

I love this game. Great fun and great exercise. If you’re looking for a way to start moving again this is it!

Wow all I can say was wow. My first time using DDR and I always thought it was a foolish thing to do but this changed my mind. The dance music and the different styles you have to move your feet and jump.

This provided a good sweat for me. I would recommend this to anyone who still has the wii and wants to have a great dance time or even dance party. You can hook up to four of these to one wii and play with friends and family.

I should warn you though these dance pads will not work with the WII U. The bad though. Yes there has to be some bad. I wish they would have put groves or something in there so you know where your feet are touching.

I kept moving my feet from the place where I thought they were which kept me looking on the ground. But all in all the bad doesn’t go against the good and these game pads deserve their 4 out of 5. Great Job Konami.

Ever been to a party where the DJ plays one song that you almost like for every seven or eight that you don’t, but you try to amuse yourself dancing to some of the crap songs anyway? This is kind of like that.

To say that the dancepad-based Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party features Wii Remote and Nunchuk integration is an overstatement. The only way you’ll use the Remote and Nunchuk is by “swinging” them.

The game doesn’t even tell you how to swing, and there’s no tutorial or practice mode either (we found that a quick shake of either gets the job done). So Hottest Party ultimately has Up, Down, Left, and Right arrows for the dance mat like every other DDR game plus two hand markers that scroll over the Left and Right arrows; it’s DDR with six inputs instead of four.

The lack of deeper Wii Remote and Nunchuk functionality initially seems like a letdown since the game requires both (unless you disable hand markers in the options). But after diving into the game’s Groove Circuit Mode — the main quest mode where you’ll complete audience requests at a variety of venues and unlock new songs, dancers, and stages — you might find yourself actually having fun when you can stand the music.

Shaking the controllers while stepping around is a blast.

As a lover of several of the other DDR games, I would have to say that I’m really not a fan of this one. I like the song list in theory, but NONE of the songs are by the original singers. Also, they’re sped up so if you’re used to the beat of a song, it’ll mess with your head.

You also have to turn the hands off each time you open the game if (like me) you want to use your DDR board. All in all, the later DDR games MUCH improved over this version. I just wish I could play the songs listed on one of them :/.

I have been an avid DDR player since it was first released on Playstation. I’ve played a majority of the different versions and I have to say that this is one of my favorites! Hottest Party 3 has a lot to offer; with a vast variety of different modes, an awesome sound track (bonus points for the songs being by the actual artists as opposed to being cover songs!) and the option to play on the Wii balance board or with the Wiimotes (AKA “Hypermove mode”-using hand gestures in addition to your feet).

The fact that you can play with 4-players and use modes like “friend mode” or “tournament mode” (for the extremely competitive) make the game truly like a party. In typical DDR fashion, the graphics leave something to be desired, though they are an improvement compared to other versions.

The Hypermove mode isn’t the greatest. While it’s fun using your hands, it doesn’t always register properly and can get frustrating if you’re a serious player trying to get a good score. I do not have a balance board, so I cannot give an appropriate opinion based on that, but I have read in reviews that it’s a great option in comparison to cheaper quality DDR mats.

Overall, despite it’s minor quirks, it’s a great game. If you’re a beginner, it’s easy to learn with the “DDR school”. If you’re just looking for fun, the “relaxed mode” keeps things simple and doesn’t add any pressure.

If you’re health-conscious, the “workout mode” helps you keep track of calories burned and enables you to set fitness goals. If you’re advanced, the game adds new challenges and is fully customizable so you can make it to your liking.

And as I mentioned before, it’s a lot of fun if you’re playing with friends. DDR: Hottest Party 3 offers plenty of options to keep gameplay exciting and entertaining for hours. It’s definitely worth adding to your DDR collection if you have other versions.

Or if you’re just beginning, it’s your best bet for making your first DDR encounter a great one!.

i love this game and dance pad!! i use it almost everyday since we dont have a ddr cabinet here, and its just as fun. the pad works perfectly fine, the game is fun. totally recommend (^.^)/

Received in original box. Hooked up and played instantly. Lots of song choices. Fun for all ages!

Gyms don’t feel safe right now, it is extremely cold and it seems like I’m getting buried in snow every 3 days. Needless to say my exercise routines have become non-existent so I suddenly had the bright idea to pick up this game from my childhood.

And I must say, it’s doing exactly what I wanted to. I now play DDR as part of my morning routine. Of course, you have to be able to tolerate high octane club music and pop songs but that’s no problem for me.

I’m assuming there may be other versions for different tastes but I haven’t played them if there are. It’s great but if you pick this up definitely make sure to get PS2 dance pads, it’s not worth it if you’re just using the controller.

Finding this game in good condition was always a challenge, I would go to game stores or a second DVD store, find this game only to see that it’s been scratched to Oblivion. I’m VERY happy to see that DKOldies takes care of the games they sell and I like that I’m insured a copy with no/minimal scratches.

Y’all are doing awesome stuff here for the retro gamers!.

The game is as I wanted. Not the best DDR game of the srie (yet it is one of the best on arcade, they just changed so much the playlist) The game itself was in good shape, but its not the original case.

You can see it comes from Blockbuster. Is that only because de case was broken? The game seems legit to me otherwise. I still enjoy the game!.

I haven’t played too many of the “Dance Dance Revolution” games, nor their Marxist alternative, “Dance Dance Counter-Revolution”. This particular version reminds me, at least somewhat, why I haven’t played too many of them.

First, let’s start with the dance mat that comes with the game. It isn’t bad or anything, but it’s actually a little too big for me (I tend to miss the back button a lot), and it tends to slide across the carpet pretty easily.

After each dance session, I have to readjust it. I’m not sure what can be done to resolve that issue, though. Second, the songs. As you’ve probably heard by now, several of the ones mentioned on the box (“Tainted Love” and “Sweet Dreams” for example), are missing.

I emailed Konami customer service and they were quite good about it and sent me a nice box of DDR swag to make up for the error. So that was good, but the songs being missing is not good. Admittedly this is isolated to this particular version of DDR, but even the songs that are included with the game aren’t very good, memorable or popular.

Third, the difficulty. I’ve found the other DDR games to be somewhat challenging, but this one is a little beyond that. Even on the most basic setting, I have a tough time merely completing the songs, much less scoring well.

I still haven’t gotten better than a “B” grade.

Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3 is the perfect game to bring family and friends together. The upbeat and catchy tunes in this game provide endless fun, and can continue to do so for a long time. DDRU3 comes with all new game modes, such as quest mode, which helps you progress into a harder mode.

This game is ideal for beginners and even old school dancers. I like the fast paced dance moves and even the more slower, chill songs. This is a definite buy for someone looking to bring something new to a party or to enjoy in the privacy of their own home.

So I bought this game and mat set because I’ve never had a DDR mat of my own before, but I am SUPER glad I finally got one (along with a game). It took a bit of getting used to, but eventually figuring out where all my body parts were at all times, but once I did, it was AMAZING.

(May I suggest the Training Mode? I didn’t want to try it, but it really was an immense help. ) Anyway, the mat’s comfy and doesn’t get hot or sticky or anything, but it DOES slip around juuust a bit (which is why I rated this product as ‘Good’ and not ‘Excellent’).

Solution? A bit of masking tape at each side to prevent slippage. Otherwise, a great product and an awesome game to use it with. <3.

Love this game so much! It is honestly a great workout too if you play for awhile. Great to play with friends and family as well! It is adorable and I wouldn’t change anything about this game! Get it!

DDR Ultamix 4 is part of a great series of dance mat games that I now own all the DDR Ultramix games in NTSC format. Sadly I cannot get the DDR Ultramix games in PAL format. I also had to buy internationaly and have a mod chipped XBox.

This game is a must have if you use a dance mat at home on your XBox. With plently of pary modes to choose from to challenge your friends. You can also play Dance Dance Revolution at the arcades so get out there and tes yourself!.

Just like guitar hero, who doesn’t love dance dance revolution games? I’m still not brave enough to play on the hardest mode lol.
