I am a 30 something Mom with a little girl who LOVES High School Musical & Hannah Montana. Since we only had 1 dance mat I thought it would be nice to get another so we can team up and have fun together. I've been using the Disney Mix DDR from early 2000 to workout everyday. It's about time that they came out with another one geared more for kids!! I bought the game this morning and tried it out before my daughter got home. It's a BLAST!! The best part is that you can pick the song, then pick the difficulty. In the past once you pick the song you get what you get (easy, hard, etc...) Plus, I know the songs from hearing them over and over again. You can pick your character, too! I set up a workout mode which tracks calories burned, how far I've run as if I was jogging. My first suggestion it to go to "OPTIONS", the choose "Sound Options" and turn OFF the voice that "encourages" you. He's annoying. He said "OK" about 7 times in a row and it was distracting. The dance pad itself has a nonskid backing and it slips around the carpet less than my other one. If you're truly having fun then all pads are going to move slightly I believe. I recommend this for boys, too. They can pick the male characters and pick cool songs. It's a great workout for adults with fun tunes. It'll be a great thing to do together. One thing I want to try out is to see if we play in 2-player mode if we can pick different difficulties. Once I know I will edit or re-post for an update.

I purchased this game for Christmas for my girls ages 4 and almost 7. It is difficult for them to keep up with the foot work. I love it and get a pretty good workout doing it, the kids love to laugh at me, so I guess it is entertaining for them from that aspect. I probably should have waited another year or so to purchase it for "them" though. Good game for the price!!

My child enjoys playing this game, keeps her active for long periods of time. Highly recommended for an 9 year old. The songs on the game are catchy and she can sing along since they are familiar.

My daughters are big funs of Disney Movies such as Hanna Montana, High School Musical, Cheetah Girls, etc. I thought they would enjoy this a lot by dancing with the musics that they sing everyday. Unfortunately, it is either too easy or too hard. There is no choice of "light(intermediate)" category as other DDRs where they are at right now. It goes as beginner, basic, and difficult. The first two are too easy and good for the beginners and the last one seems made for "professional" DDR dancers. The background is also dizzy and distractative. So I am returning it and exchange for DDR SuperNova.

this cd has all of the songs that my kids know and love. I know I don't have to worry about the lyrics.

I bought this for an [..] girl who loves Disney. The songs not only suck, but if you've got anything Hannah Montana or High School Musical, etc., already, it's pretty redundant.

That said... the 11 year old does not like this version of DDR and it's collecting dust. She claims it's too hard, complicated, and annoying. I agree with the annoying part. Why? How much do you like listening to theme songs from TV shows on the Disney channel? 'Nuff said on that!

So how does it get used, when it does get used? With a regular controller and no dance mat... and that was only within the second week of owning it. It hasn't been touched since.

Would I recommend this? Well if you need a dance mat, and the price is reasonable... maybe. If it was free... yeah. Did I waste my money? Oh yeah!

I bought this from Amazon, and what no one tells you is that this game requires a whopping 108MB memory!! Of course, no one, including Amazon! sells a memory card that big for PS2. I can't find one locally bigger than 16MB, which is a long way from 108. It was disappointing to receive and not be able to use it.
