1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your money, at all!, April 2, 2005

This review is from: Xbox Wireless Dance Mat (Video Game)

This is probobly one of the best dance pads so far every created. However, there are only a couple dance pads that are REALLY good. Whats of course good about it, is that it is wireless and the mat can be pretty far from your tv, so you don't need a cord or anything like that. However, it is only $30-$40 (depending on which game retailer you buy it from) hinting that it will not be the greatest mats ever created.

For one thing, it tends to slide a lot on the ground when you are dancing, which can be a really big hassle when every game you are up from your pad moving it. With other pads like the metal dance pad, or red octain ignition dance pad, the pads hardly slide at all until your about a few years into them. (Well, maybe thats not the case for the metal dance pad, thats just a ripoff, it costs $500 and it breaks in about three months, but it is definetely the case with the red octane ignition dance pad.)

The second problem with the wireless dance mat is that you have to push a little bit harder on the arrows to make it completely work. This can be a pain in the behind as well when your playing on "heavy" difficulty and you have arrows swarming at you, and you have to worry about how hard you have to push on your dance pad, this should not be the case. The red octane ignition dance pad and the metal dance pad have perfect made arrow buttons, making it very easy to just even lightly tap the arrows with your feet and it will appear perfectly on the screen.

The last problem with this dance mat is that it is made up of hard plastic. This means that it can be very easy to break especially when your dancing like crazy and your pushing pretty hard on the arrows. This can be another huge problem as you have to of course buy another one, and BOOM! $30-$40 wasted on a trashy dance mat.

In conclusion, for all DDR Lovers, i would definetely NOT recomend buying this mat when there are so many others that you can pick from, and much better quality as well. This might be the mat that comes with the game, so i guess that you are forced to use it until you buy another one, but if that is not the case, this mat is definetely not worth your money!

1.0 out of 5 stars There are better dance mats out there, June 28, 2005

I have this mat and it is really hard to work with. It will consitantly not register your steps. I also found I'm constantly charging the batteries. I have found the mats with wires are just more accurate. For the money you spend on this mat you'll just be aggravated with this thing. It also does bunch up and move a lot. Find one of the mats with the thick foam backing, they work much better.

For 40 dollars its a very good mat. I"m guessing it will last for about a year or 2 which is very good for 40 dollars. I CANT WAIT FOR DDR 2!
