Very Frustrating

I bought this game so my younger brothers and I could get some exercise this winter. I thought it would be fun, and it was at first. When we tried to move from the beginner mode to the next mode up, basic, we were surprised to find it extremely difficult. We're at the point where beginner is way too easy and boring, but basic is SO HARD. It's is extremely frustrating. It doesn't increase the difficulty gradually like in other interactive games (i.e. Guitar Hero), it just goes from boring to frustrating with no happy medium. And the songs really aren't that great either. All in all I am pretty disappointed by this game. It could have been a lot better.

A little difficult to figure out!

Still haven't figured this one out, but when we do, I think it will be fun. The setup is confusing!

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.

Fun on a rainy day

I'm a big fan of DDR on any console.

with the 360 its a big difference, but once you get used to it, its fun to play. the whole quest mode thing is fun, and it takes a lot of energy to do some of these things.

as differing from PS2 is the fact that the pad for the 360 is thicker, and slightly less cooperative sometimes, but you get used to it after awhile.

overall, 9.9 out of ten stars.

A fun way to get exercise!

I am new to this kind of game, so I am still getting used to it. But this sure is an addictive way to get exercise. The only problem I've had has been with the mat which tends to slip and bunch up a great deal on our thick carpet. After experimenting with a slip-proof pad for a throw rug and two-sided carpet tape (not much help) I hit on the idea of putting a chairmat (like those used under a rolling office chair) under the mat. I purchased an "ulta durable" one with "AnchorBar technology" from Staples (not the bargain-price kind that can be rolled up) and this has made a tremendous difference. No more slipping!

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.

Oh yeah, this is awesome!!

My husband got this for me a couple of days ago to go with HIS new x-box. It took a little while to figure out the menus (probably not for a ten year old, but I didn't have one of those around) but now we are both having a blast! That is one heck of a good workout! I can skip going to the gym today.

BTW, in response to another review about a defective product, well unfortunately that happens, even at the holidays. But, just because you were unable to get a receipt from the gift giver and were not able to exchange it is no reason to rate a product poorly.

DDRU2 Review

Came in perfect condition and had everything in it. Awesome fun and a great source of exercise. Not really different than any other DDR game except perhaps better graphics.

Better songs, More dance-like steps

This version of DDR has my teenager and her friends competing with each other. They are able to use the dance pad from her older version so that two kids can dance at once. The kids say the steps are more in line in with the beat of the music and feel more like dance steps than the older version.The selection of songs is a hit as well. My teen tells tells me that the techno songs are the most fun to dance to.
My pre-teen and her friends have tried this as well and while they are not as impressed by the changes as the older kids, they have found a great way to have some active fun during these dreary winter afternoons. Even our neighbor's 8 year old spent an hour trying out the songs and steps without being bored or frustrated.
