Get's you off the couch! June 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased DDR for my grandchildren. They love their Wii and really enjoy the games they can play. DDR takes it up a level. It gets them off the couch and moving, dancing their hearts out. It is aerobic, it helps develop coordination and concentration. They must concentrate and learn the dance steps so they can move through the levels of expertise. They have quite a competition to see who can move up and become a better dancer. Well worth the $$.

So far this looks like quite a winner. We also bought a second mat, so two of them dance at once. The second mat is highly recommended to make this a more social exercise. It doesn't really resemble dancing, but at least it provides a bit of exercise trying to keep up.
Lots of fun June 17, 2008
This is the first DDR game that I have purchased. My husband and I have lots of fun playing, we are both novices. We ended up purchasing a second mat so that we could play together. The mat selection seems to be limited and not nearly as many choices as with the PS2. The hand motions give the game an added challenge. I like the workout mode where you can set the number calories you want to burn and they game keeps giving you new songs until your reach your target number. It does pause after each song to give you a score but you can jump right through that by pressing the A button.
Overall it's a great interactive game where you can burn some calories.
 Good workout, but everything else could be better June 11, 2008

I bought this the other week and finally used it for the first time last night. First of all, the mat says not to wear shoes or socks on it- I disagree. Wear socks. Otherwise, the mat will stick to your feet and make it harder to hit the right arrow at the right time, because your foot is stuck to the last arrow you stepped on! Socks are good.
Otherwise, the game itself... It's still a really good workout, but I don't really care for much else about it. The song selection is extremely limited. I don't remember past versions I've played being this limited. Overall, there's only about 6 or 7 songs that I like enough to use. It's annoying to have to turn off the in-game gimmicks, hand motions, etc. It might just be me, but I'm used to being able to control the game with solely the foot controls, but I had to use my Wii remote to select the song and change options and everything. ALSO, I'm used to being able to cancel a song once you've selected it- say you wanted "Hot Stuff" but accidentally selected "Clocks"- but I couldn't figure out a way to do that with this version.
Overall, it is more or less a good time, and if you're not as picky about music as I am, you probably won't be as bothered by the limited playlist. I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone, though. I'd say hold out and see if a better version ever comes out.

It is such a fun way for me to exercise. I have it set to count the calories I burn and that encourages me to keep going. Even though I still get "boo-ed" for my poor rhythm, I love it. Most grandparents would buy this for their grandchildren, but I had to have this one for me.
