I bought this item because I heard it was a bit less strict about scoring so I could use it as a good training disc. The difficulty settings are NOT the same as on a normal DDR. On a normal DDR, you can do almost any song on almost any setting. In this game, each song has two settings, "basic" and "trick". How difficult the "basic" setting is varies by song and is denoted by stars. I can't do any song above two stars well, and I can only do the three star setting with great difficulty, despite having prior experience doing DDR. I would not call this an "easy" disc. There are only 7 out of 20 songs that I can actually do, and that's if I am being generous and including songs where my score isn't so great. Granted, I am no DDR expert, and I'm sure if you're really good, you could do all the songs. If you're looking for a great DDR disc that's lots of fun and similar to other DDR games you've played, this is not it. Also, the background graphics are not that great, especially the one for Pluto. It's actually sort of distressing to watch. I'm not saying "don't buy this disc", but I *am* saying "be well-informed of what this disc is actually like before you shell out big bucks for it". That said, I do enjoy playing this game when I feel patient enough to deal with the few songs I can do, and the training mode is really good; it's helped me in all my DDRing. All in all, this disc is fun, but is it over $100 worth of fun? Probably not.

The Dancing is Fine, but where did they get these songs?

None of the songs used in this album were popular, recognizable Disney songs. They were all from Disney, but they were all rather obscur. I was majorly disappointed.

A lot of fun!

Of the two DDR game versions I own, Konamix and Disney, I definitely prefer Disney. I don't know what people are talking about when they review Disney as being "too easy"! Despite having spent much more time on the Disney version, I consistently have a harder time passing the 5-star beats such as "Mr. Bassman" and, surprisingly "It's a Small World, hardcore" in Regular Mode than I do any of the songs in Konamix on Maniac level. There ARE very easy songs on Disney, but even a lvl 1 becomes more difficult in Trick Mode, and "Maniac" can't be unlocked till you defeat ALL the Regular and Trick modes (a very difficult task).

You will find a challenge with the blazing speed (twice as fast as many songs in Maniac level of "Konamix") and difficult strings combos of Trick Mode. You will also find a beginner level of fun with the lower level songs such as "Mickey Mouse March" and the 9-step "Lesson" series to help a beginner get into the game (although a bit boring if you have played DDR at all before).

Also, there are quite a few "non-Disney" songs in the mix, but they are often good in their own right (several popular Oldies such as "Let's Twist Again" and "Mr. Bassman", as well as some favorites from other mixes such as "Midnight Blaze").

Also, the 2d-sprites in the background are less sophisticated than in other mixes, but I actually prefer this -- they are MUCH less distracting and I don't screw up a 100 perfect combo when a flash of light passing behind the arrows takes me by surprise.

All in all I highly recommend this for *all* DDR fans.. and especially those who are looking for a change of pace from the typical techno/trance genre of music that is featured in the other mixes.

Fun, but really easy.

Sometimes I get a strong desire to play this, but it passes after about half an hour because there aren't many songs on this mix to begin with, and that leaves even fewer songs I really like. I have to say though, the soundtrack (Japanese release) is amazing, on it's own.

Not As Good As Other US Versions

While there may be the dual appeal for disney and Dance Dance Revolution fans, th truth is that this game is a sub par Dance Dance Revoultion wanna be.
Out for the box this game offers less than 20 songs, about 2/3rds are disney songs remixed to an annoying Eurobeat that gets old FAST. The other 1/3 of the songs are from other DDR mixes. In other words there are no original songs. Also unlike the other versions of DDR the characters DO NOT DANCE, and unlike the other DDR verions the backgrounds are not that of 3D dancing but 2D sprites. The sprites are not exciting either, there movements are relagated to two or three motions looped again and again until the song ends, that are move distacting then anything.

Often with Disney games in an attempt to make the game "easier" for a young audience the developers often manage to make it HARD.
Speed of the songs is faster then most songs on the DDR and DDR Konamix games. Making them hard for the beginner. To make up for this the letter grade system is VERY kind. But what is the piont of getting a B grade but missing more than 20 steps? Silly

In short:

Pros:
Disney Game
Dancing game
Good for "chubby" or "porky" youths

Con:
Graphics (the use of non dancing 2D sprites)
Sub par Music Selection
Limited Number of songs
Too difficult for true begginers
Boring songs
Limited Modes (no beginner or edit modes)

Thats why if gets on two stars.

A BETTER CHOICE:
The Original Dance Dance Revolution for PSone

A Great Game, Lacking Enough Disney Music

As the second DDR game released in America, Disney Mix had many expectations riding on its shoulders. While it lives up to most of them, it falls short in its own ways.

The Positive Aspects:
Disney Mix is especially good for beginners because many of its tunes are arranged with easy dance patterns. In addition to this, it helps the beginner develop well. With progress, the dancer is able to unlock the difficult maniac mode. This helps the dancer make the transition from beginner to intermediate all in one game. The mixes of Disney songs on this game are superb, bringing a smile to the faces of people everywhere.

The Negative Aspects:
The grading system of this game, while nice for beginners, can be too giving. It can really make a gamer feel bad when they switch to one of the other American mixes because they aren't as giving as Disney Mix. While the Disney songs in the game are superb, they lack in number. The creators included too many non-Disney songs. Since this game is marketed as a "Disney Mix", one would expect all the music to be Disney-related.

All in all, however, Disney Mix is a great game. Once again, Konami has given gamers a breath of fresh air, opening the dance floor once again to another selection of music. I definitely suggest this as a buy.

Disney Dance Dance Revolution!

This features remixes of Disney songs and it's great fun. If you have a pad, you can actually dance to the game! Mickey, Chip N Dale, Goofy and I mix it up as we dance and show-off our DJ skillz, but don't be mesmorised by our funky moves, watch the arrows or you'll "Game Over" faster than I can run! Listen to me, this game is fun, but don't annoy people with the stomping! Stomps, bad, steps, good! And most importantly, have fun!

I just got this game and it was the best purchase I've done so far. I bought it for my child (6 yr) for her birthday and we played it for hours. The adults got the kids off of it and played it until 11pm.

It's also a great workout. You start to notice that you're sweating after your through and you can't stop.

Get your hands on it, you won't be sorry.

Great Game!

This is a great game for kids who like DDR but it's too hard for them yet want more of a challenge than the jungle book dance game. This is a very fun game but it has one flaw. SPENDING THE EXTRA [money] FOR A DANCE PAD. I got the jungle book one (comes with 2 dance pads) and I'm buying this and DDRK and DDR. You get more for your money that way!
