1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2, December 1, 2008

I bought this with the hope of using it with "Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2" but I can't get it to work with it. I was hoping I could use a wireless dance pad because I don't like the idea of a long cable snaking across the floor which someone could trip over and knock down my Wii. I think this is a problem with "Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2" and not with the ICON wireless dance pad because I heard that "Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2" has problems with other third party dance pads. I hope the makers of "Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2" can come up with a fix to make it compatible with more third party dance pads.

The wireless dance pad itself seems well made. It has a rubberized bottom so it shouldn't slip or slide on the floor. It comes with a little wireless receiver that plugs into the GameCube compatible port on the Wii. The dance pad uses 4 AAA batteries. When you turn on the dance pad (using a little switch at the front of the pad), it briefly flashes a red light indicating it is trying to sync with the wireless receiver connected to the Wii. Once it is connected, the red light disappears and the wireless receiver will output a steady green light which is supposed to indicate that it is connected with its dance pad.

Unfortunately, I cannot report on how well it works because it seems to be incompatible with "Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2".

I had the same problem as the previous reviewer. It seems nicely made but unfortunately won't work with Hottest Party 2. Wish I'd known this before I ordered it, but I ordered it at Thanksgiving and didn't try it out until Christmas Eve. What a disappointment.

The sync with the console is easy and the product really works but it doesn't have a kind of "marker" for you to feel with your feet to know where you are stepping into. When you use it, obviously looking at the TV, normally you get lost because you move a lot and, unless you look down to the mat, you won't always know where you are stepping.
