As fun as the real one.
I was shopping at Radio Shack looking for somthing for my 10 and 11 year old Children when i saw this. It was on sale so i thought i would suprise them. All though they were kind of bummed that it diddn't know what you were doing, they spent hours and hours of fun. Exerzize is now fun.
My Children are getting exerzise (Witch rarely happens) and having fun with it. A great family game.

No Steps Are Scored! BE WARNED!!!
This version does NOT score or even aknowledge your steps. I have been an avid DDR player for years, and have even reccommended DDR for healthy weightloss and excersize programs to a LOT of my friends, who have had great success.
My nephew begs and bugs about playing DDR at my house every time he's in town. I thought I would gift him with a way he could play it at home for his last birthday, and since he doesn't have a playstation, and XBox versions of the games are becoming more rare, I thought this would be fun for him. I was shocked to see what arrived in the mail. (Not amazons fault of course.)
I checked out the specs online before I bought it, and even up against the "plug n play" versions of the game that retail for around the same price, I thought SURELY there would be no such thing as a DDR game that doesn't score your steps! What would be the point of that? When I saw what I bought him, I was disgusted! Firstly, "Roxy" is really corny, and her ever-so-cheesy "You're doing great!" and "Keep it up!" is hardly easier on the ears than an 80's Richard Simmons video. The small plastic sheet that you dance on is not only tiny width/length wise, but it's paper thin. There is no connection from the so called "dance mat" to the television, so every step you take, you may as well be taking on a "twister" mat in front of a family member who can just as easily shout "You're a GREAT dancer!" for free.
Save your money, or buy a plug n play, even though the graghics are awful, they still allow for step-scoring, THUS the REASON for playing DDR at all! Rating:

Good for on the go fun
If you are looking for an interactive, not to mention active, version of this game, then spring for the Wii or Xbox versions. This won't cut it. I had intended for this to be an interesting change from my regular workout, but the DVD is too rigid to be used that way, with too long intervals between the menus, and the irritating instructor having way too much screen time. The routines and the music are more than passable, and hold enough of your attention to be a fun game for adults and children for a spur of the moment kind of activity. Rating:

Great for kids
We have the xbox version of DDR and it is fun for teens and adults, but way too challenging for my six year old. My 8 year old can only do two songs on it. They often end up frustrated and/or in tears because they get boo'd.
This is a fabulous alternative for young ones because they never get boo'd, they have such positive feedback and it simulates the real thing; so as they get better, they can move onto the xbox version with much more confidence. I think it's great.
The box says for ages 5 and up and it is true (for those who have commented that it is boring - it isn't boring for a 6-9 year old). My two kids and one of their friends played for an hour before bed and had a blast and went right to sleep. No tears, they didn't even fight over the mats, and I had fun too!
I've never left feedback on a product before, but this one deserves two thumbs up for moms with young kids.

Best for smaller kids and people who lack coordination
Sufficient for those who don't want to / can't spend hundreds of dollars on the actual game system. This game doesn't score you (you don't even need to stand on the mats they provide), so if you're competitive this is a bit of a bummer. Also, for those who have coordination or some dance experience, the levels aren't very challenging. I'd recommend it for smaller children and / or people who've never seen the "real thing" before. |
