4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but dance pad is clunky, September 12, 2008

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dancing with the Stars Includes Dance Pad (Video Game)

This is a really fun game, it's a heck of a workout, but my only complaint is that the dance pad only works when it wants to, and that's not very often. We used to reach for this game all the time but it's so frustrating to get everything out of the box, hook it up, be all geared up for a dance-off, then the stupid dance pad won't recognize any of your steps. Argh!! For the price, the dance pad should work just like the hand-held controller, every time without fail.

Dance pad that come with this program is a pad with USB connection that only work with dancing with the stars. The pad does not work with other dance games. Dance Dance Revolution series by KONAMI are much better games.

K I'll start off with the negatives first to get that out of the way.

One of the main issues I have is that there are some celebs missing that shouldn't be, like Kelly Monoco who won season 1 with her pro partner Alec. Why they were missing I dont get, also missing was Drew Lachey now granted Cheryl is in the game with Emmitt but why not have her in the game twice? She did win two times. Also missng was Apollo and Joey Fatone and my fav pro Julianne. I dont buy the whole "the game couldn't be updated in time" because Maks and Laila were included and they were on in the same season as Apollo and Joey yet she came in third, how does that work?

Another flaw in the game is the arrow situation. In order to score well you have to hit as many arrows as possible and get as many "perfect" hits as possible however when dancing the Rumba it is very difficult because you dont get as many arrows to hit so the ones that do come you have to hit them perfectly which is VERY VERY difficult therefore I find myself stuck having to re-dance the rumba over and over again just to advance in the rounds which is annoying. They should have added more bonus points to the rumba's to make it fair.

Last negative I found is the fact that the game doesn't have enough variety. The couples can dance as either amatuers or professionals however the difference is not really that far apart. One couple dancing amatuer who becomes pro still dances the same numbers, same outfit same everything only difference it you have to have a score of 24 or higher to advance in the rounds whereas as an amatuer you need to have a score of 20 or higher. I think they should have made the profesional dances different from the amatuer ones, changed the outfits and really made it different so one doesn't get bored too fast with the game and dancing the same dances over and over again.

Now for the positives...
Great music, love most of the tracks, they really tried to find authentic latin music as opposed to the actual show which uses pop music and tries to pass it off as Latin which it is NOT! Some dances in the game that are supposed to be latin had pop music but not many which made me happy. Another plus is the graphics, dont know why the other person said the graphics were rated at a "C" cause there not. The graphics are wonderful IMO! The outfits are also great.

If you're a dancing with the stars fan GET THIS GAME!

I give it 4 out of 5 stars
