4 stars (Dance Dance Revolution: More addictive than Pac-man) - I just bought this game Yesterday evening after yearning for this for about 6 months. Better than what I percieved it to be like in other people's reviews. The story mode is pretty fun your first way through it on Easy mode and The story is pretty cool except some of it makes no sense, like there is a part when mario is jumping on a flower and some how it magically blooms and bounces mario up on top of a mountain and later in the story Mario has to go back up there and he has to jump on a flag to some how magically appear there when he could of just hopped on the friggin flower. Well anyways this game comes in a box bigger than the one the gamecube comes in so that might scare you from purchasing it in a store because you may think you have to buy a Gamecube with it but you really don't. The box is so big because the Dance Pad is fairly large. When I went to go buy this at Wal*mart the clerks thought it was a gamecube and were wondering why it was so light. LOL! The songs on this game kicks ass. There is a huge bundle of remixed mario songs, some dance songs from 3rd party groups, and atleaste one from other Nintendo games.(Original Donkey Kong Theme Remix) The "Work Out Mode" if you heard about it isn't really a mini-game were you work out. it just changes the option of your weight and tells you how much colories you've burnt throughout your plays through this game. I think the Dance pad is kind of cheap. I worry that I might break it when I wear shoes so I always wear socks or go barefoot while playing, the bottom is white and some how dirt gets attracted to it, the plasticy material that covers the top of the pad wrinkles up if you drag it and sometimes you will move out of place on the mat while your playing and really screw up. Other than those few problems I'm satisfied with my $53.00 purchase of this game and I've lost about 5 lbs so far playing it non-stop (almost).
4 stars (Fun For The Whole Family) - We are having so much fun with this video game! The songs are catchy, the graphics are amazing, the story is cute and most importantly, the kids are getting some exercise while playing. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the Storybook Mode. We found it extremely easy to solve and you only get to choose between Easy and Normal mode. However, once you get past that disappointment, the other features are great! Free Mode is where you can pick any song/dance you like at any level of difficulty from Easy to Super Hard. You can also choose to add Mush Mode where fun little Mario characters are thrown into the dance moves. The Free Mode is much more challenging and you are graded for your effort. (We have yet to get past a "D" on the Hard Level). There is also a calorie chart where you can keep track of how many calories are burned while playing.
Overall, this is a great family game!!!
5 stars (Join the Revolution Rap) - By Cloud,
Dance with Mario
Defeat Wario
Play as Luigi
With a little squeezy
His name is Toad
