 A fun way to get exercise! February 13, 2008

I am new to this kind of game, so I am still getting used to it. But this sure is an addictive way to get exercise. The only problem I've had has been with the mat which tends to slip and bunch up a great deal on our thick carpet. After experimenting with a slip-proof pad for a throw rug and two-sided carpet tape (not much help) I hit on the idea of putting a chairmat (like those used under a rolling office chair) under the mat. I purchased an "ulta durable" one with "AnchorBar technology" from Staples (not the bargain-price kind that can be rolled up) and this has made a tremendous difference. No more slipping!

Got this for our son for Christmas and I think I'm enjoying it more than he does!! Fantastic exercise. I can see it's going to take a lot of practice before I'll advance beyond the basic level! Glad we got it -- so much better than sitting and playing a game!!

I am new to DDR world. I think I played it in the arcade many years ago. I am terrilbly out of shape after three kids in 2 1/2 years, and have had a blast trying to get back in to shape with this game. The music is fun--a good mix of familiar and new. The game really goes at your pace. Jumping ahead I can see that I have some serious work to do before getting through the game--but I am in no hurry to beat it all in a day or anything. I really wanted this thing to last as an alternative fun exercise, and it is doing just that. After the reviews I read, I had worries about the pad. I really have had no trouble with the pad that came with the game. I am on carpet though. After a few dances it needs to be readjusted some--so you are sure to hit the right spots--but no big deal. It is all that I wanted and expected.
Excellent Way To Sharpen Mind and Body While Having A Blast! January 24, 2008

Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2... Not typically my first choice with video games (c'mon CALL OF DUTY 4! Am I right?? : ) However, it is coincidentally one of the most addictive, most competitive, most challenging games I've ever played. At first it's kind of tough, (how can anyone possibly hit all of these arrows at the same time? lol). However after you have learned what you need to know, you'll find a fever comes over you to play more and more. Hitting those blinking arrows at just the right time becomes a feverish competition.... and even better: you burn hundreds of calories while playing for just a few hours.
What can I say, a monumental gaming experience!
Great Game, Great Workout! February 20, 2008

I bought the XBOX 360 and this game for the sole purpose of using it as a workout routine. As a 35-year old woman, it's probably the best investment in my health that I've made yet (and far better than the money I threw at gym memberships). I get a great workout everyday in the comfort of my living room and have a blast doing it! Graphics are great. Song choices are great (I find myself singing them during the day). Workout mode lets you track steps and calories burned. I've been dropping weight/sizes since I started this new routine. I LOVE this game!
