5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, Old Pad, February 7, 2006

This review is from: Dance Dance Revolution DDR Super Deluxe Pad Version 2.0 with DDR Extreme 2 (Video Game)

Overall, the game is great - there are many new songs to DDR, the Dance Master mode is great for people new to the game, etc. However, rather than write a review for the entire game, I'll leave it to you to take a look at various game sites (I've never been too good at writing game reviews without a lot of rambling).

The only real problem with this particular buy though (at least on Amazon) is the pad; the DDR Super Delux Pads are up to v3.5, which is arguably a good deal better than the v2.0. I suggest getting DDR Extreme 2, and buying a newer version of the pad seperate (or buy the game and a newer pad combined in a bundle). As far as non-metal pads go, this particular type is definitely one of the best, but as stated before the model is an outdated one.

However, metal pads can be expensive, and therefore if you're just trying the game out I suggest going with a soft pad (such as in this bundle) rather than dropping a lot of money on one.

Suggestions (for those unsure about buying):
-Ask a DDR player that's played multiple versions of the game what they think is (one of) the best versions; in my opinion this one is great, particularly for a beginner.
-If you want this type of pad, a newer model is recommended.
-Ask a fairly experienced DDR player about dance pads if you're not sure if you'll be wanting a soft pad or a metal one; usually they'll be able to give you some good advice.
-If you're debating between various game versions, try finding a friend or friends with copies of the games to help you pick which one you like best.
-If buying this as a gift, make sure the person isn't highly against the game; I know a few people who dislike the Dance Dance Revolution games just because they're popular/a fad/what have you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad pad, January 7, 2007

We bought this pad as a Christmas gift. It worked for 2 weeks of pretty intense use and now just doesn't work. My cousin's family has the really inexpensive non foam pad and it has worked for years. Either buy the metal arcade type pads or plan on buying the cheaper ones over and over again. My family is very disappointed in the quality of the product.

I bought this pad for Christmas and after two weeks of use the pad doesn't work anymore. The sensors are all messed up. Not a good purchase.
