The Best Wii game in 2007

DDR is excellent in so many ways that it is difficult to know where to begin. I have been playing videogames since the late 1980s (I'm 24 years old) and have owned every major system (this cycle i own a Wii and PS3). For some reason I never got into DDR until now. This game is really really fun! Different people play different games for different reasons, but this game is unifying for families. There are a bunch of great songs (from the past and present) ranging from Chris Brown (Excuse Me Miss - did you see his performance on MTV?!) to Ace of Base (The Sign!!). And to talk about how unifying this game is, I hadn't seen one of my cousins since I was 16 (so about 8 years) and through this game we reconnected. My family had grown apart and this weekend we all came together to play DDR!! Everyone had fun and we played for about 5 hours straight taking turns. I didn't even know my cousins were that into dance or music, but this revealed shared passions for all of us!!

Buy this game, and buy it for your friends and family. It will do wonderful things for you, and its just so much fun with the Wii remotes which add a new dimension to the game (I've played DDR in arcades in Tokyo but never on a home console). Whether you're into hip-hop, techno, funk, 90s pop, soul, or dance music, this game has it all. And it has a ton of tracks which you need to unlock so it will keep you playing for a long time. The game also rates your performance (as I'm sure other DDR versions also do) so it inspires you to improve and get better when you get a D instead of a B. I believe this will solve the obesity epidemic that we have in America and I predict that schools across the country will buy this game for just that reason. Get off the couch and play DDR! Btw, my cousin is going to buy a Wii just for this game (they are DDR afficiandos and have played every game in the series - they tell me that this is different because it has the double step and the use of the Wii remote).

FYI, the reason the Wii remote is so innovative is because it allows you to do a sort of "snap" to the songs. Sometimes you move both remotes at the same time (this game will by the way improve your rhythm for those not born with the funk) and sometimes you move one remote with one step so it really introduces an entire new dynamic. Some people say the graphics are nothing to shout about - to that I saw neither is Wii sports but that doesn't stop Wii Sports from being a ton of fun (and I like this game much more than Wii sports). On PS3 I usually play violent shooting and fighting games or hyper-speed racing games, and this is a welcome change to my videogaming life because it just allows me to be happy with the people that I care about. I mean for crying out loud, my mom was interested in what we were playing (and she being a doctor from burma doesn't really tend to get interested in my videogaming habits!). Btw, I work in finance in NYC and my cousins are into the music scene in philly, so I think you can tell that this game brings together a diverse array of people from different backgrounds. The best $70 bucks I have spent in a long time.

Great Game!

We really enjoyed the song selections. There's something for everyone! We were really impressed by the options, and workout modes.
Overall, the game is so much more enhanced by the wii controls using upper body workout. Thankfully there are modes that would fit beginners, basics, normal, expert modes.
And by the way, the dance pad seems to be much more stable!
We'll be playing this for quite a while.

Way to get up off our butts!

I was not sure if I should get DDR because of its pricetag and the fact that you really need two mat's (or more ;-) to actually make the most of it.

With only one mat its just half the fun. Its good for training alone, but having a contest with your best mates is just a completely different level of entertainment.

The songs included and the overall experience doesnt loose an inch from the original arcade in your nearby amusement park.

Its amazing how the developers managed to bring the same atmosphere across a little home tv.

For me this is a group / challenge game, so do yourself a favour, forget about the pricetag for a moment when you are weak and get the game with at least two mats and get your best mate(s) to bring the drinks ;-) - you will need them after you sweat out all your bodys fluid.

One thing you have to think about is where to keep the mats when not used, keep that in mind too (roughly 60x80 cm each, but you can fold them).

Enjoy !!

I am one of the older folks who bought a Wii because it looked like fun and there were plenty of games that I could do. I got hooked on DDR at a friends' house and really enjoy it on the Wii. Even someone approaching 60 can do this if you start off slowly and work up. It is a great work out and there are a lot of fun songs that aren't too hard on the aging ears!Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle

w00t this game is sooooo c00l. not only did i stay up till 2a.m. playing it, but my mom supported me too. she said i was "burning calories".
normal ddr is boring but playing it on the wii brings it to a whole new level. there are "gimmiks" which are special commands. this also brings your hands and arms into the game with a jab to the right and a whip to the left.
ddr for wii is something you don't want to miss.

P.S it's perfect for all ages 8 to 50

Fun for everyone! Even shy daughter and chubby mom!

Wow, I am shocked, I have watched my 8 year old play this game at the arcades we frequent on trips, and she always does well, and like her momma, loves dancing.

I knew we were getting a WII and bought her this game set for her 9th birthday a few weeks ago-and it has changed our home like nothing else!

The 6 year old-enjoys singing the songs and coaching her sisters on!

The 5 year old neighbor girl won't leave (lol!), comes over to try and dance with 6 & 9 year old.

The 9 year old shakes her booty until she's sweating and I think losing a bit of her "chubby"!

I tried the fitness levels and (secretly) do it every day-wow!

My oldest (shy, quiet, always plugged into her MP3) is 14 and had just jumped on one night-wow-she can do it like a pro and feels confidant enough she had some friends over and they stayed up dancing until 2 am!

So it gets us moving, socializing, and improving our fitness a tad-and the house chores are getting done (will do chores for wii??) and we all look forward to our time as a family almost every night dancing (or playing some other Wii game) there's less fighting, less arguing-more sibling cheerleading!

LOVE it-songs are catchy and are from the 70's 80's 90's and now-I Love Eugene-and if you have this game, you know what I mean!

lots of fun!

delivered as promised, game is lots of fun. Our 14 yr. old daugher and her friends do this for hours. Fun for adults to exercise to. It says 50 songs, but there are only 26 or so. YOu have to get better to get the other songs to come up.

addictive!

We have never played DDR before, but my family is fighting for turns to this high energy, challenging dancing game! Adults are just as addicted as kids! We did turn off the hand signals and have only tried the feet. Even at the basic level, it's a challenge for all of us! We are on our 5th straight day of playing no other wii games but this! Check it out!

This is a great "game" for the Wii. It has lots of dance choices for the beginner right up to the expert! This game provides great exercise for young and old alike. You can work up a sweat and burn body fat!
