I've bought all three versions for PS2 so far. I've got the Red Octane Ignition 2.0 mats, I can't play in heavy mode to save my life, but I love the game Where else can you burn calories by playing a video game, and actually get better with your rhythm? HMM? I'm not a big fan of the new interface in DDRX (the latest) and the fact they removed the 'feet' difficulty meters, but I'm still happy with new-to-ps2 songs.

In the last version, I could do up to 7-footers on normal... and I'm a big guy (6'3" 250). My biggest acomplishment was AA'ing Max300. I was considering building my own mats, but I'm still very happy with the ROI2.0's.

Never tried it before to be honest. I would play if I was alone but wouldn't be caught dead on one in front of ppl lol.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

I tried it for one song and sucked, heh. There are some fanatics around here though.

 

[dbzwukan]

I don't like it that much, I prefer Daiko(sp?) the drum playing game.

After you get the hang of it, it's not a big deal in front of other people... it's actually kinda fun. I played against this one guy up in New Hampshire this past summer. He gave me the impression he was fantastic. I blew him away...

of course, I'm not asian nor a girl, so I'm definately not as good as many many people.

 

[LordSnailz]

I had it for the psx but my pads died ... I'm thinking about getting them for the xbox now, I'm sure the folks downstairs would appreciate it.

i'm a DDR fanatic.

i lost 50 pounds (literally) b/c of DDR.

i haven't played in a bit, but last time i played i was on Heavy mode around 8-stars.

i can't seem to get over that 9-star plateau.

getting good at DDR takes a LOT of patience.

just a small tip: NEVER let your feet go to the center of the mat. each foot should always be on an arrow; just move from arrow to arrow. you'll see how much quicker u become when u do this.

cheers!:beer:

Agreed, on light it's not too bad once you memorize it... although you still work up a nice sweat on one run through.

 

[naruto1988]

DDR is pretty fun. i don't play it often enough to get good, so i can only do light. i can do standard on stepmania (DDR-simulator for the computer) though, lol.

 

[Modeps]

I cant play Pump at all... I'm so used to DDR, that turning the mat and adding a button really just screws with me.

 

[Lonyo]

Now I want DDR all over again.
I played in the arcade and it was good fun, but I don't have the $$$ to buy a PS2 and game and mat
Shut up

 

[Modeps]

sorry

I love rhythm games. I played ddr in my old apartment but stopped playing recently.

DDR still has a bad stigma attached to it, whereas donkey konga, oh man. I took it to a housewarming party last weekend and we eventually ended up renting 2 other bongos. It was so crazy people getting so into it and yelling and screaming/cheering. I doubt ddr could have done the same (but I still love ddr).

People just get too tired playing DDR, so they cant go crazy and yell Bongos on the other hand, you can bang away and go nuts! How is that game by the way?

 

[StevenYoo]

i wanna try that Taiko game too

 

[Xyclone]

I have it for Xbox, with the pad. Lots of fun with friends over. Excercise + Lots of Fun = 2 birds with one stone for a gamer.

 

[JoPh]

own it for the xbox!

 

[Modeps]

I dunno, I heard the xbox version just wasnt as good as the ps2 one... except for the whole crazy downloadable content thinger.
