We received the original Dance, Dance Revolution when my daughter was around 5 and it was way too hard for her. She loved the idea but got too frustrasted. A few weeks ago we saw this at targer and thought, how great one she can do (she's just 6 now). Even at the beginner level she struggles a little but she can complete it and loves doing it. We're just thrilled when she misses less than 50%. The box says for 4+ but I cannot imagine my daughter or her friend being able to do this at 4. We've only had it for a few weeks but it's been used by all the neighborhood kids and so far it's held up well. I would say that 6-8 seems to be the ideal age although some of her 5 year old friends did fine with it too although a few really stuggled. The boys had fun with it too but the strawberry shortcake theme meet with some hesitation. I just wish it had a way to go a little slower but it's been a hit.

I purchased this for my daughter who loves strawberry shortcake thinking not only would this help teach her some dance steps, but she could do it along with strawberry shortcake and to her music. WRONG! When I tested this, I was highly dissappointed with the graphics...lousy. Music? It doesn't play much (and no full songs only clips). THe sound is also lousy. It's like a video game shooting arrows all over the screen that you're suppose to follow with your feet. Very confusing (if it's confusing to me my daughter will definitely be confused). Strawberry doesn't dance to any of it.

I was upset to see the return policy. Since I got free shipping on this, not only would I have to pay for shipping to return a lousy product, but I'd have to pay for the "free" shipping. It would cost me 1/2 of the amount of the product just to return so I guess I'm stuck with it. I only hope my daughter can get something out of it. I wouldn't recommend. It's not worth the money at all.

I bought this for my daughter as an Xmas gift.
The graphics were very poor quality, although it was fun for her.
the music was good for the most part, very cutesy and appropriate.
I do think that the age range for which it is recommended should be knocked down a little bit.
My daughter is 7 and I think she's a little beyond it.
Although she did have fun with it, unfortunately the game broke after just being used about 5 times.
We went to plug it into the TV and for some reason it wouldn't function. ALl the graphics were just scrambled and frozen, and it hasn't worked since.

I got this for my 5 year old daughter and I immediately understood what people were saying about the difficulty level. She could not do all four step directions at once (forward, back, left and right steps) and was getting frustrated. I offered to to three of the directions so she could concentrate on just one at a time. (she chose left step) It was a fun way to play together and soon she was asking to take over more and more directions. After playing like this together for a day or so, she was playing the easiest levels by herself and doing quite well. I still wish the game offered even easier levels but if the parent plays with the child, I think the child can pick up the coordination in an hour or two.



It is remarkable that this game is as inexpensive as it is. The graphics and music are not very sophisticated but for less than $15, it is worth every penny.

This is fun- and adicting (for adults too!) My daughter loves this, but she's a little young for it. She'll def grow into it. A good work out too!

My 7 1/2 year old bought this with a gift card. I discouraged her because it said it was for age 4 and up and I thought she was too old for Strawberry Shortcake. She just loves it. It is still difficult for her, but she is getting the hang of it and all of her 1st grade friends love it too. The babysitters really enjoy it too. There is no way she could have done this at 4. I would not buy this for kids younger than 6. You will be disappointed. Buy the younger kids the Smart Cycle. It is a blast and they get some exercise!!

We're huge Strawberry Shortcake fans, so I picked this up as an impulse Christmas buy (didn't read reviews first). I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was terribly disappointed in it. The graphics are on par with Atari from the 80s. The steps are so hard that I can't even do them, let alone my toddler girls (3 and 4). They like to hear the music... but we have more fun popping our Strawberry Shortcake CD into the CD player and making up our own dances.

My little girls (ages 4, 7 and 9) think this is soooo much fun. It's a little hard for the 4 year old, but she doesn't know she's not doing it "perfectly." She loves it. I like that they are getting a little exercise indoors (since there's a foot of snow outside), and learning better rhythm and coordination. They play with our big-screen TV so I think the graphics are a little simplistic and the music pretty "digital sounding", but the girls don't seem to mind at all. Very fun game. I'm glad we bought it!

My daughter has been talking about DDR for weeks, she played it at a friends house and she wanted one for Christmas. We don't have a playstation and wasn't about to buy one just to get the game, so I figured for only $25.00 we'd give this a try. It's a lot cheaper than having to buy a whole video game system and my daughter doesn't know it's really any different. She LOVES it! It's a little confusing at first trying to figure out what to do but once you do it's easy. Even when she didn't get the steps right she was still jumping all over the place and having a ball. A great cheap alternative to the real thing.

My five year old enjoys being able to play a DDR game more her age. Older siblings have the original DDR games and she always felt left out... she now feels great
