Dance Dance Revolution!

[Capulet]

Has anyone played this fun, addicting game? After I came back from the Kerry-Edwards rally, I went out and bought this beauty:

and two dance pads.

It's fun as hell. I played it a few times in 7th grade when I lived in Chicago.

Has anyone played DDR? If not, I definantly think you should.

It's a dancing game where you move your feet according to the arrows on the screen. Pretty easy to understand, but wait till you get on your feet

I love DDR. I've found that its a lot easier for a percussion student (like me), to get a hang of this game...since the foot paterns usually fall in line with certain counts in the music (4, 8, 16, etc)
I went to a tournement at my sister's college. Im a pretty good player, but some asain kids ripped me to shreads.
fun game

I've played the Konami Remix version for PS1... It's intense.

Are these two events in any way related
I have not got the game, but i have played a similar version of it in a games arcade..

I can't see myself ever playing ddr. I can't dance anyway, so why would I play a dancing game?

The Kerry-Edwards reference refers to a post I made in the Offtopic forums

I love the game. I'm addicted. They have a machine at the arcade, but who needs that? I have the freaking game at home. Once I get good, I'm heading to the mall and going public, hahaha.

And then an asian will come along and make you look like you can't play ddr for crap.

I like to play sometimes but i dont like t at arcades cuz theres always some 20yearold that comes and whomps you or makes you look so bad you dont want to make an attempt.


Btw, Musa, what kind of pads did you get? the ones cheap are slippery and really suck, where did u get yours?

I know there is one near buy close to my college. By the looks of the game, its more of a dancng/matching game. There is a bit of dancing invloved. Luckly I have taken karate for a while and developed a sense of direction of where to go. I just looked up on one version that it contains Macarena, heh at least I know the moves to that dance. I think that the company who makes them should create a branch company that would releace club-mix versions of the top 40 songs. I would be supprised if they add in "YMCA". (Im guessing Disco era music would be basic)

Im not sure if DDR has a freestyle mode and lets you play w/o the machine's installed music but play your own music.

There was one pad I saw at a camp that was metal but only like an inch thick. That's one I would like to get. But I looked at it online and it was like $300! No way...

While I was watching a video clip of The Killer's "Somebody Told me" from VH1, during the commercials they usualy have, there was an advertisement for the iPod that had a hip-hop music playing along a country line dancing. I was also reading the DDR Freeks webpage and made a connection that the moves used to manipulate the pads is simmiler to the moves found in line dancing.

I LOVE THAT GAME!
(but im not thst good )
The only song I hate is that 'whistle song'. It can get annoying.

 

[LLXerxes]

looks nice
Really...

 

[Dabomb18359]

It is fun but really only if you like the songs. It's more fun with the dance pad. I wanna get one but $200, yeah right...

There is an alternative way to play DDR, though you would have to get the program that is just a simulator of it. Though the disadvantage is that the keypad would have to be used as a dance pad. Which means both of your fingers on one hand has to do the work .

Wikipedia has some info on it

 

[Tomoyo]

I think there was an Angelic Layer game that very similar to DDR, just without the music, and without the pads, on GBA.

 

[Dabomb18359]

It just really sux without the pad... It's like trying to dance with your fingers.

I know they possibly sell some sourt of dance pad that just hooks up to the computer via the USB port.

It's not a computer game though. Xbox and Playstation 2 mostly.
