Customer Reviews

Great fun on the dance floor
Bought this to get my wife a little more enthusiastic about my Xbox; She was getting a little annoyed with the time spent playing COD 4. Must say this game is fun and a good work out.

Nice workout indeed!
After reading a story that one girl lost 95 pounds by playing this game, I was a bit skeptical, but I believe it now. I think it beats the treadmill workouts. After 30 minutes on Power Mode(6 minute fast tempo tracks,) I literally drench in sweat. It really is a good cardio workout. I dont think I ever sweat like this during treadmill workout, but then again, nobody really does any aerobic movements while running on a straight conveyor belt.

While this shouldnt replace your gym workouts, it is certainly a good alternative once or twice a week. Think of it as drinking orange juice as opose to eating an actual orange: While orange juice will give you Vitamin C, it shouldnt fully replace your fruit intake.

Some tips for beginners: Do not place the mat on the carpet as it will gradually move underneath you and will cause you to step on wrong controls after a while. The bottom of the mat is slightly-rubberized and made to stand on non-carpet sufaces. Also, if you are new, go straight to the training mode of the game...seriously.

Weak visuals compromise the game
Pros: It's DDR. It has a lot of new songs, and a lot of new game modes too.

Cons: Inefficient use of screen real estate, especially if you have a 4:3 set, where it letterboxes. The arrows are small, and the "PERFECT", "GREAT", etc. text that appears when you take a step is waaaay too big--it hides a whole row of arrows near the top.
