I love DDR: Hottest Party, I play it all the time and have fun, while exercising. My parents wanted to play with me but couldn't so I looked up getting some extra pads. I was going to get the kind that came with the game but they were way too expensive and I didn't feel like spending the extra money. I went and got these types of pads and they work okay but are a BIG hassle when dancing. As you dance on these the fabric gets all bunched up causing you to either do bad or have to straighten your mat again and again. Every time a song is done the fabric is in a ball and you have to stop everything and it just causes problems. These mats aren't the best like, the one pad we got with the game, but they are decent for the time being. A note to everyone, just spend the extra money to get the pads like that were produced with the game.

The pad looks and operates nicely. The only drawback is that it is slightly smaller than the original WII pad. Great for little feet.

This mat ALWAYS seems to flicker/double jump every time there are double arrows which is really annoying. This happens especially on the harder levels of DDR. The flickering causes you to miss the next arrow and then, you end up failing the song due to the mat!! I would only recommend this mat to someone if they are buying a mat for only the very easy levels.

This pad is ok if you can't get past the easy levels, but as soon as you move up and start doing any of the harder stuff it doesn't hold up at all. It moves around, bunches up, doesn't register your moves properly ... it's really frustrating! Last time I played on this with friends we all got so annoyed!! I have ordered a (hopefully) better pad as I can't even stand to play on this one ... it's that frustrating!

I had heard a friend comment that he lost a lot of weight strictly doing the DDR, so I wanted to try it out. If you do the higher levels, it definitely makes you sweat. Although I wasn't aware that an actual game didn't come with the dance pad, I quickly ordered the game and was dancing away a week later. One problem, it recommends to place it on hard floors, of which we don't have in front of our televisions, and that does seem to make a difference (and not record your footwork correctly) if you hit the correct arrow (usually the down) for us. The bottom has crinkled a little probably b/c of the hard floor recommendation.

oh my gosh, my daughter loves this game. on christmas we played this off and on all day

I had so much fun using the Pad! It helps burn some fats and helps you stay strong and fast. In fact, I don't think I'd ever want it gone!
