 Superb !! Exactly like the arcade version. October 31, 2007

I was not sure if I should get DDR because of its pricetag and the fact that you really need two mat's (or more ;-) to actually make the most of it.
With only one mat its just half the fun. Its good for training alone, but having a contest with your best mates is just a completely different level of entertainment.
The songs included and the overall experience doesnt loose an inch from the original arcade in your nearby amusement park.
Its amazing how the developers managed to bring the same atmosphere across a little home tv.
For me this is a group / challenge game, so do yourself a favour, forget about the pricetag for a moment when you are weak and get the game with at least two mats and get your best mate(s) to bring the drinks ;-) - you will need them after you sweat out all your bodys fluid.
One thing you have to think about is where to keep the mats when not used, keep that in mind too (roughly 60x80 cm each, but you can fold them).
Enjoy !!
The Best Wii game in 2007 October 1, 2007

DDR is excellent in so many ways that it is difficult to know where to begin. I have been playing videogames since the late 1980s (I'm 24 years old) and have owned every major system (this cycle i own a Wii and PS3). For some reason I never got into DDR until now. This game is really really fun! Different people play different games for different reasons, but this game is unifying for families. There are a bunch of great songs (from the past and present) ranging from Chris Brown (Excuse Me Miss - did you see his performance on MTV?!) to Ace of Base (The Sign!!). And to talk about how unifying this game is, I hadn't seen one of my cousins since I was 16 (so about 8 years) and through this game we reconnected. My family had grown apart and this weekend we all came together to play DDR!! Everyone had fun and we played for about 5 hours straight taking turns. I didn't even know my cousins were that into dance or music, but this revealed shared passions for all of us!!
Buy this game, and buy it for your friends and family. It will do wonderful things for you, and its just so much fun with the Wii remotes which add a new dimension to the game (I've played DDR in arcades in Tokyo but never on a home console). Whether you're into hip-hop, techno, funk, 90s pop, soul, or dance music, this game has it all. And it has a ton of tracks which you need to unlock so it will keep you playing for a long time. The game also rates your performance (as I'm sure other DDR versions also do) so it inspires you to improve and get better when you get a D instead of a B. I believe this will solve the obesity epidemic that we have in America and I predict that schools across the country will buy this game for just that reason. Get off the couch and play DDR! Btw, my cousin is going to buy a Wii just for this game (they are DDR afficiandos and have played every game in the series - they tell me that this is different because it has the double step and the use of the Wii remote).
FYI, the reason the Wii remote is so innovative is because it allows you to do a sort of "snap" to the songs. Sometimes you move both remotes at the same time (this game will by the way improve your rhythm for those not born with the funk) and sometimes you move one remote with one step so it really introduces an entire new dynamic. Some people say the graphics are nothing to shout about - to that I saw neither is Wii sports but that doesn't stop Wii Sports from being a ton of fun (and I like this game much more than Wii sports). On PS3 I usually play violent shooting and fighting games or hyper-speed racing games, and this is a welcome change to my videogaming life because it just allows me to be happy with the people that I care about. I mean for crying out loud, my mom was interested in what we were playing (and she being a doctor from burma doesn't really tend to get interested in my videogaming habits!). Btw, I work in finance in NYC and my cousins are into the music scene in philly, so I think you can tell that this game brings together a diverse array of people from different backgrounds. The best $70 bucks I have spent in a long time.
Good starting point for DDR, better workout than Wii Fit. July 30, 2008
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
DDR Hottest Party for Wii is my first DDR experience (mostly because the Wii is the first game console I've owned since Intellevision!). Now that I've really gotten into the game, and looked through other forums on DDR, it appears that DDR Hottest Party is a fairly "light" game compared to other DDR titles. I only have my experience with the Hottest Party for Wii to go by, though.
I only have a few things to say about this game -
1) You can easily turn all of the annoying features off; The "gimmicks" can be replaced by regular foot markers, the freeze steps (where you have to stay on a particular arrow for the indicated time) are turned into regular arrows, and most importantly the hand markers can be turned off. A lot of people recommend doing this when first starting out, because it simplifies things. However, bear in mind that when you turn the hand markers off, the game replaces them with foot markers. The end result is that the game becomes physically more challenging. This is a good thing to keep in mind if you're going for a harder workout (the hand markers really don't add to the exercise value of the game).
2) REPLAYABILITY. This game has only so many songs, but with all the different levels, challenges, and battles, it has a high level of replayability. I had gone through the venue mode all the way up to that demonic "Super Samurai" level, and pretty much gave up because it seemed impossible. Instead, I started using the workout mode, and worked my way up to AA's on difficult on most of the songs. Then I read somewhere that you get more dancers if you beat Super Samurai, so I went back and tried it. After all my work on Difficult, I actually managed to beat the challenge, which then shut down all the venues, gave me two more dancers, and now I get to go through the Venue play again with higher challenges and more rewards. Unless you're a DDR junkie and an old pro, this game can last you a LONG time.
3 - I also own a Wii Fit. I can tell you right now that if you're looking for a game that will give you a hard workout and get your blood pumping, don't waste your money on Wii Fit. Get DDR instead. Wii Fit is okay, but DDR is what gets my heart rate up, gets the sweat pouring, and it's FUN.
4 - Don't be put off by the songs (whether you know them or not). I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but in the context of this kind of game, it works. And hey, it also turned me on to the Scissor Sisters! ;)
5 and Lastly - Okay, look. I am a morbidly obese 35 year old. If I can do this game, YOU CAN. Seriously, did I mention I'm at AA's on most of the Difficult levels (with jumps) (including 99 Red Balloons)? And yes, it's helping me lose some weight (probably about 20 pounds since February or so), but fitness is a whole-lifestyle thing. DDR (OR Wii Fit) is not the magic bullet. But it sure is fun!
Fun for everyone! Even shy daughter and chubby mom! February 26, 2008

Wow, I am shocked, I have watched my 8 year old play this game at the arcades we frequent on trips, and she always does well, and like her momma, loves dancing.
I knew we were getting a WII and bought her this game set for her 9th birthday a few weeks ago-and it has changed our home like nothing else!
The 6 year old-enjoys singing the songs and coaching her sisters on!
The 5 year old neighbor girl won't leave (lol!), comes over to try and dance with 6 & 9 year old.
The 9 year old shakes her booty until she's sweating and I think losing a bit of her "chubby"!
I tried the fitness levels and (secretly) do it every day-wow!
My oldest (shy, quiet, always plugged into her MP3) is 14 and had just jumped on one night-wow-she can do it like a pro and feels confidant enough she had some friends over and they stayed up dancing until 2 am!
So it gets us moving, socializing, and improving our fitness a tad-and the house chores are getting done (will do chores for wii??) and we all look forward to our time as a family almost every night dancing (or playing some other Wii game) there's less fighting, less arguing-more sibling cheerleading!
LOVE it-songs are catchy and are from the 70's 80's 90's and now-I Love Eugene-and if you have this game, you know what I mean!

I am one of the older folks who bought a Wii because it looked like fun and there were plenty of games that I could do. I got hooked on DDR at a friends' house and really enjoy it on the Wii. Even someone approaching 60 can do this if you start off slowly and work up. It is a great work out and there are a lot of fun songs that aren't too hard on the aging ears!Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle
