I have nearly every version of DDR for my PS2 (including the Disney version!), and play them with my kids all the time, so when I saw that my favorite not-sitting-on-my-butt-killing-things game crossed over to the Wii, I jumped at it.
Oh, how I wish I hadn't.
The graphics are indeed better than the PS2 versions, and I suppose the involvement of the nunchuk might be interesting, had not the rest of the game left a bad taste in my mouth. Gone are the Euro- and J-pop style of music I love on the PS2 and the arcade. Instead, you are treated to bad disco tunes and covers of 80s and 90s dance tunes that went out with Milli Vanilli. Your dancer is accompanied by four synchronized dancers that frequently hold their arms out like children playing "airplane" and then run around in a circle.
It all amuses my one year old, but no one else in the family will touch it.
Quite frankly, it strikes me as if the DDR team watched "Moulin Rouge" and "Saturday Night Fever" back to back, did some ecstacy, went to a gay disco to try out their moves, then went back to work and stuffed their experience in a box for your entertainment.
Eagerly awaiting DDR Extreme 3 or whatever else is next on the PS2...

MY PRODUCT IS THE DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION ON THE WII NINTENDO. EVEN THOUGH
I HAVEN'T USED IT MUCH YET, I PLAN TO. THIS GIVES ME THE EXCERCISE I NEED
AND IT BRINGS BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF MUSIC I USED TO LISTEN TO AND DANCE TO. IT TAKES ALOT OF PRACTICE BECAUSE I'M IN MY 50'S BUT IT'S A LOT OF FUN AND I GET A KICK OUT OF THE THINGS THE GUY SAYS WHEN I DO POORLY AND I SELECT THE SAME SONG AND HE MAKES FUNNY COMMENTS. I ENJOY THAT. IT'S A BOOSTER AND I NEED A GOOD BOOST. THANKS WII NINTENDO!

I have considered getting DDR before but I feared playing it one time and never using it again. When I watched people playing it at the arcade I got the wrong impression. There is a beginner mode for people who are not as fit or athletic. I have played DDR every day for the last 3 weeks. I made a goal for myself to play for 30 minutes a day. I have made my goal. Time flies. Usually, I play in the evening and time gets away from me and I play for an hour to an hour and 30 minutes. I have been going to bed later but the trade off is that I sleep better (or so I tell myself so I can keep playing). I have lost a little weight without dieting. Yeah me!
It is easy to use and get started. I was up and dancing in no time.
The good: there are enough songs that I haven't gotten bored in my 25 hours of play. I love being graded and trying to improve my score--I think that is the addictive part actually. I also sweat and feel that I am getting a decent workout. It isn't as intense as my normal workouts but I do the workout consistently and longer than my other workouts. I really do have fun. After attempting many times to exercise consistently I am thrilled to find something that has made making my goal obtainable. I have a plethora of DVD's that I have been trying to make a part of my routine, but in actuality I have been inconsistent, because I really don't enjoy them enough. The weight isn't going to fall off but it is going to come off and it will come off faster with healthy eating.
Could be improved: I really wish there wasn't a break after every song, especially during workout mode. What would be ideal is being able to set up a program of songs for my desired workout. I also would have loved a lesson especially when I started. I kept putting my feet back on the middle and finally figured out that I don't have to after watching youtube. I am sure there are other lessons for me to learn that would improve my level of intensity and give me a better workout.
And the slow songs make me crazy!! I have a harder time with the slow songs than the faster songs. My first goal was to get a passing grade on all of the songs. Next I wanted to get a C on all of the songs. Right now I am working on getting all B's. I get so frustrated with the slow songs and have a harder time improving my scores on the songs that have a BPM of 120 or under. Does anyone like doing DDR to that Heaven and Earth song??
All in all I am very happy with DDR and wish I would have bought it sooner.
