Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 Bundle

I'm not a kid, but I've always loved to dance and I'm trying to follow the rhythm as it says. The game tells me I'm in danger and I've failed EVERY time! What am I doing wrong?! I wish it would just let me dance and give me pointers like the regular Wii Fit games do. I tend to not want to do it on a regular basis because no one wants to be told they've failed every day! It certainly has potential and if someone wants to offer me pointers, I'd readily accept them! I've watched that little boy on youtube and I've tried to move like he does, but it just keeps failing me. At least I was able to turn off the "boo" zzzz.

Really, I'd love a lesson! Anyone?

I picked this game up even though I already had the PS2 version (old) DDR2 Extreme. The songs in this game do not fit well with the workout style I was accustomed to. The basic level game play was so slow and boring. The songs are great, but they are not great for dancing to. The rhythm of these tunes are not the fast-paced rhythms I was used to in the previous PS2 version. After doing the first Song by Rhianna - I thought - the song and graphics were cool - a nice break from the cartoons of the past, but the dance steps were so slow. Even stepping up beyond the first level - the pace was just awkward when the steps are just outright faster than the song. The key behind the success of the original DDR was the fast pace of the songs. You felt like you had to keep up with the beat. Attempting to do this with normal pop songs of the day just plain didn't work. After 45 minutes of trying to find a song or beat that was up and quick, I just turned the Wii off, and got the PS2 DDR2 going again. What a breath of fresh air it was to be sweating 60 seconds later. I literally went 45 minutes to 1 hour on the Wii DDR HP2 without a glistening of sweat. I hear there is a new one arriving soon - I hope I can get my money back on this package.

Let me say that the D-pad was fine. Worked great, not much slipping - better than the GameStop store brand ones that slip. The ability to use the controllers was cool. For the extra money this is worthless. Not a single big new feature to latch onto - and the lack of fast paced songs is a dramatic step backward for this product. If this were the original DDR - the whole line would have died I think.

I was so expecting new things in this version, and I was sadly disappointed.

I purchased this for exercise for me. I hate exercising but like dancing. It has been great for that. The whole family loves this, even my husband who is not a big dancer. He likes the sport of it. My 6 year old son loves to dance but in free form and not always with the beat ;-) This game is teaching him dance can have specific steps and timing is important. Fun, educational, good exercise!

I purchased this game for my girls (9 and 7). They love it. I, however, do not appreciate the provacative music videos. I don't care for the influence on my kids.

This game was part of a package that I bought mainly for the Wii Fit Dance Mat that I use with another game. I am older than the average Dance Dance Revolution player and found that this game is hard for me. I am getting the hang of it, but am still using the beginning mode. I think when the grandkids come to visit they will like it a lot. The dance mat did not work as well as I had hoped with my other game, very awkward to use, but over all an okay purchase. I am sure that teens would have a lot of fun with it.
