5.0 out of 5 stars Great songs and very little overlap with the PS2 songs, February 12, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 (Video Game)

I own all the DDR titles that I know of for the PS2 (Flow-Urban Dance Uprising, DDR Max 1 and 2, DDR Extreme 1 and 2, Into the Groove, Pump it Up), so I was afraid that buying a DDR title for the Xbox would have a lot of overlap in the songs offered for the PS2, but there are tons of wonderful new songs to play, and a wider range of styles. This was well worth the money.

I love how many songs have videos, and I love the quirky song choices and the range of genres. There is Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might be Giants, Rock Lobster by the B-52's (with a video), Alphabet Aerobics by Blackalicious (awesome, it speeds up as the song goes so by the end you are really skipping!), Sakura (the speed changes in this one really keep me challanged), Hey Mama by the Black Eyed Peas, and Nari Narien which is fun Indian-inspired techno. The difficulties are similar to DDR Max and Extreme titles - I usually play standard to heavy and I feel like there is a lot of room to grow into this game.

My RedOctane Ignition pad with the included XBox connector works great with this game. The load times are reasonably fast, too.

This is a great addition to a full DDR library of titles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent music selection, November 19, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 (Video Game)

Of all the X-box Ultramix games, I thought this had the best selection of music.

The songs can be put into 3 groups:
First: licensed songs sung by their original artists, notably with 80s music. Devo's "Whip it" with the original video, B-52s "Rock Lobster" to name a few. There were about 12 songs in this group before I unlocked anything. All these are 6-7 feet on the hard setting, so you can tell Konami had the "30-something" group in mind with this portion of the selection.
Second: typical DDR trance(Butterfly, Breakdown, and other recycled songs)
Third: hard (industrial rock and gothic)

There is a smattering of other stuff (Jazz and funk) with a noticable absence of slower ballads, which I don't miss.

A few other things I like about this version compared to earlier ones: 1. The arrow patterns are getting a bit more creative. 2. When you first play, there's already a decent mix of 9 and 10 foot songs before unlocking more. That was my biggest complaint about DDR Extreme 2 - not enough super difficult songs at the opening.

There is one annoying thing about Ultramix 3: everytime the game starts up, you get about a 30 second pause while it loads songs you downloaded from X-box live. The other versions didn't have this.

Overall, it is a great experience, which makes it the best Xbox DDR out. If you have a PS2, you should take a look at "In the Groove", which is the best for that platform.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burns so many calories and is so addictive., January 27, 2006

This review is from: Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 (Video Game)

I originally wrote a nasty review about this verison of the game because I was and still am such a fan of ddr extreme 2 but this one is really starting to do it for me...both my kids absolutely love it (2 yrs and 6 yrs) and I am loosing weight because some of these songs I love doing so I end up doing it everyday...faithfully!

The only downfall is the fact that there are more Japanese songs than anything and I think that is why I was originally turned off by it. It did take a little getting used too, but there are many songs that have an addictive dancable beat that I definitely don't regret buying this game.
