As a seasoned DDR player, who has achieved a reputation as a pro(catastrophics :P), I would like to say that this version is the worst. The songs are completely different from the USA arcade game, and some of them are from second mix (Japan) and are extremely slow. The only good thing about this game is that it brought official Konami pads to the US. So save up the extra 20 bucks and go to express.com. (3rd mix is the best of PSX but I've heard that Extra Mix is better, just released 2 weeks ago. Don't forget to research converters first:\)

A joke

This has got to be a joke. First of all, if you don't have the hard-to-find Konami dance pad controller (I found one in New York's Chinatown), don't bother. I don't see the point of finger-dancing on the PS gamepad. Even if you have the dance pad, the game gets boring quickly. It's not like you can pick any soundtrack, and the included music is rather lame. This is a total waste of money.

BLEH!!!

What happened to all the best songs....Come on what are these people thinking?! if you want a good version get the imports, definitely. Most of the songs on this game are so slow and boring, I could just fall asleep. This game is a total waste of money and an insult to dance dance revolution. I was so disappointed when I saw the songlist. There are also not enough songs to make this worthwhile.

Fun, but only until you realize...

...just how few good songs there on in this release.
Do yourself a favor and pick up an imported copy of 3rd, 4th, extra, or 5th mix, as the song selection, layout, and steps are far better. 4th mix and onward also have some other fun things, such as 6-arrow solo mode and the Challenges, along with the wonderful ability to edit steps.
In conclusion, an imported copy is much more worth your money than this release. Konami's dance pad isn't bad, though.

Boring... and no good songs.

Yes, it's actually worse than arcade mix 3... they really didn't include any of the good songs. Luckily there are other games like Konamix and DDRMAX out already so you don't have to bother with this one. Features the horrible original revolving discs interface.

Decent but disappointing

This game is alright, but after playing the japanese ones it is more than a bit disappointing. There are too few songs, and the selection is okay but not great. They are all Bemani songs, but they left out some of the best ones that had appeared in the japanese versions. (Smile.dk songs, Kung Fu Fighting, Shook, Captain Jack songs...) Konami majorly messed up the marketing on this one also. Not enough people found out about it in the US for it to spread like it did in Japan. I got bored with this game very fast. However if you have never played DDR, you will be able to appreciate it more.

Overrated

It's probably just me, but this video game doesn't fit my taste like the old-school games do. The 'excitement' found here is nothing compared to a wedding reception or a high-school prom (depending on what moves you make). Plus, only segments of the songs are included. This could be better if the whole song was played. At least that's my opinion.

I found it watching others participate, but I've been forced to give it a try to one of the 'slower' songs. Not many moves. Not too much fun.

This game seems okay if you want a good workout. I'm not bashing this game. In contrast, it might grow on me over time. Right now, I ... I may be too old-fashioned. :)

DDR and YOU

DDR. It must be the most fun game on the market at this time for the PSX (of its kind). I hoestly don't understand the "Proud New Yorker" the pad is quite easy to find and the game never gets boring with three difficulty settings and that many songs I don't see how it is possible. Anyways I have become somewhat of a local pro at the arcade in the neighboring town. This game will never have an equal it will entertain me for years and years. I recommend evryone who owns a PSX game console buy this game unless of course you are a 400 pound person that is 5'0" tall then you might break the pad, you could still play with the controller(deffinately the worst way to play). Have fun gamers
Peace, Love, Unity, Dance Dance Revolution.

A good start!

I think give this game a 3 star because the other versions are WAY better! The song in this version are the originals but kinda slow so this game is good for beiginners or people don't like having to many arrows that go up really fast. I suggest you start with this DanceDance revolution game because if you buy a more advence version you will have a really hard time on it and this one as a price very low on amazone.com

An absolute Blast... except

Dance Dance Revolution is so great. I loved it from the moment of playing it at DisneyQuest and I was happy to see some of my favorite songs when I picked up my copy of DDR USA. I bought the pads along with the game and have been playing it for a good while. It has more than served its purpose when I had a Youth Group party and everyone was going nuts playing this game. It was one of the best nights of my life. I appreciate great songs like "Boom Boom Dollar" (my favorite song)and other classics found in the arcade. There are some good features to DDR USA including the Beginners Mode for inexperienced players, and also Diet Mode and Edit Mode for those seeking excersise and creativity. The presentation is very good; menus are easy, graphics are flashy and stylish with good backgrounds. Then why am I giving this only 3 stars? Because it's missing the song "Butterfly" by smile.dk, one of the songs that got me hooked to DDR. It's also missing a few other good songs like "Stomp to my Beat," "Wonderland," and "Dam Dariram." I REALLY REALLY wish Konami had put in Butterfly. DDR USA just isn't complete without it. The exclusion of Butterfly is enough to bring DDR USA down a whole star, and the others missing songs bring it down another star. A rerelease of this game with the aforementioned songs included is highly unlikely, but I sure would be willing to pay the extra [dollars]. The convenience of having all the best songs on one disc is unrivaled.
