 Nice workout indeed!Apr 08, 2008
By Dmitry Kristal
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.

A fun way to get exercise!Feb 13, 2008
By J. W.
"Jan"
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!

Better songs, More dance-like stepsJan 12, 2008
By MamaJ
"careful shopper"
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.

Oh yeah, this is awesome!!Dec 31, 2007
By Rachael
"Josh's mom"
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.

Game DeliversFeb 11, 2008
By C. Weigand
I am new to DDR world. I think I played it in the arcade many years ago. I am terrilbly out of shape after three kids in 2 1/2 years, and have had a blast trying to get back in to shape with this game. The music is fun--a good mix of familiar and new. The game really goes at your pace. Jumping ahead I can see that I have some serious work to do before getting through the game--but I am in no hurry to beat it all in a day or anything. I really wanted this thing to last as an alternative fun exercise, and it is doing just that. After the reviews I read, I had worries about the pad. I really have had no trouble with the pad that came with the game. I am on carpet though. After a few dances it needs to be readjusted some--so you are sure to hit the right spots--but no big deal. It is all that I wanted and expected.
