Dance Dance Revolution!

[Bigmak]

hey everyone. I dont know how many of you out their have seen the DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) stations or Matts, but those are amazing!

You can get them for your Playstation 2 console, Xbox, etc. It is crazy Cardio, but it is really fun.

For those who dont know what it is exactly its a Dancing game. You play through different genres of music and dance to it. each song has its own degrees of intensity (*light, hard, heavy*)

What you do, is you step on the matt which is a giant controller. You move your feet to how fast the arrows move and their direction.

ex. ---> is your Right foot , <-----left foot


Whats cool about the game is that it has a workout mode, and a calorie counter. It shows how many calories you burned and logs it. it even graphs your wieght for you too.

i love it, its fun! but kind of repeditive.

To see how the game plays, watch this video

DDR is a blast! My teenage daughter and I play it together. Now that she's has two weeks off from school, I'm going to suggest we hook it up in the family room so we can use it every day. Sue

This post makes me laugh.....my daughter and I jave joked with my grandkids thi holiday season. I have told my youngest grandSON (age 10-1/2), that I am getting him Strawberry Shortcake underpants, and my oldest grandSON (age 11-1/2) the he is getting Strawberry Shortcake DDR for Christmas.

The first time that I saw DDR (not the Strawberry Shortcake version) was when I went to have lunch with my oldest grandson at school. The kids are allowed to play it during their lunch break. I was impressed that they had something like this as an option for the kids. In this day an age of childhood obesity, it was refreshing to see that the kids where fighting for a turn on it.

I asked him if he wanted to dance with me on it....but he was too embarrassed.

My friend loves it. I don't really like it. I have no coordination. I can play it with the controller .

i keept almost falling on it all the time! But after a while on it, i mastered. Just takes practice.

This is really good exercise...I'm going to look into getting one. Thanks!

okay this is what iam doing instead of my DDR. I found this other game called "Dance Factory" and it works on the same premise of DDR. But the only thing is..you put in your own music cds and dance to the generated arrows the game has.

So it makes the game always fresh and never dull and repetitive
