Author's Review
Dance Dance Revolution has changed the way I exercise. I love to play video games, so naturally I was intrigued when I seen this series come out. Though, I really didn't know what to expect, nor did I know what I was getting myself into.
Wow, was I amazed. This game is really a lot of fun, I make it a part of my daily exercise routine. There is about thirty song choices to choose from, and each song has several levels of difficulty to play on. One of the biggest downfalls is that they should have more songs. They really do get old after a few times. I recommend that you purchase other games in the series to get some variety.
I personally like the workout mode that you can do in this game. In this mode, you are able to set your weight and height, go play as long as you want, or whatever difficulty you would like, and at the end of your session, see how many calories you have burned. This is really cool. I like to see my progress, and I tend to do a little more in each session when I set the workout mode.
The game is really not expensive, and you can buy it with the dancemat. I recommend purchasing an additional mat because it is common that you will have several other people wanting to play when they see how much fun you are having. It is also fun to sit back and watch others play, as they look pretty funny when they are doing it. It's great entertainment.
This is a great gift to give around the holidays. I know I personally got my game on Christmas, and the whole family sat in the afternoon around the television each taking a turn. It was really fun, I just wish it had a few more songs to choose from. That's why I have the whole series though!
