DDR Universe Review
DDR Universe is definitely a very fun game that can be used to keep you moving. The only gripe I may have is sometimes the background images are kind of distracting to the actual game play and may cause you to miss an arrow. Other than that I would definitely recommend this game to everyone who likes this type of game and it's even more fun if you have a second pad where the competition just increases the fun factor and replay value.

Alot of fun and a lot of exercise
I bought this game (and the XBOX 360) because I needed something that was fun that would get me to exercise. I have always been less than enthusiastic about exercise but loved to dance, so I thought it would be a solution. I was right beyond my wildest dreams! First, it is so easy to pop the DVD into the XBOX -- with the hard drive it saves what you have done so that there is no messing around with computer controls to get started. There is a progression in difficulty so that you start with the beginner 's Game Mode Lite (my grandaughter calls it Game mode lame, but I don't care.) The advanced modes are incredibly complex, so I know that I'm not going to run out of challenges any time soon -- probably never. You only need about a 4' x 4' space in front of the TV for the game mat, unlike exercise videos that seem to assume that you have a home gym with 20' of clear space in every direction. The songs are hot -- great rock (although I'm not as fond of some of the rap) -- and surprisingly, some of the slow songs are harder than the fast ones. You get a letter grade as well as a numerical score after each song, and for someone conditioned to school, you just can't allow yourself to be satisfied with a C, so you do it again. I had said to myself that I would do it for at least 20 minutes per day, but find I am not satisfied until I have danced for at least 45 minutes. And, I am sweating and loving it! Finally, for someone who hates to go to the gym and really doesn't have the time, this requires no more time than the hated treadmill currently cluttering up my living room (it's going to the garage this weekend and possibly onto E-bay after that). So, it is loads of fun, it's convenient, it's great exercise (although I find I'm just thinking of it as a game more and more)and it doesn't clutter up your house with ugly gym equipment. We've bought other XBox games and they are all pretty good (Never thought that I would be playing video games)but this is still the best!

DDR
My daughter who is 15 recieved DDR as a Christmas gift this year. She absolutely loves it! My son(13 yrs.) and my husband also get in on the fun. It is also a great workout. It is kind of like guitar hero for your feet. I definitely reccomend it to any age group.
