Gameplay
Just as in earlier releases in the franchise, DanceDanceRevolution is a multiplayer Dance / Music / Rhythm hybrid game based on the original Japanese arcade classic of the same name. The game is packed with a blend of licensed popular and classic dance tracks, as well as tracks created especially for the game by game developer and publisher, Konami. The player's goal is to keep time with the precise rhythm of each track as they are queued by on-screen arrows that scroll up the game screen from the bottom. The top of the screen is the "step zone" - four static arrows pointing left, down, up and right. As the scrolling arrows pointing in one of these directions makes contact with like arrows in the step zone players indicate the correct direction and duration, again in time with the song. The more accurate you are in doing this, the more points you score, with even more points available as simultaneous arrow combinations occur. Success also maintains your life bar, while a poor performance decreases it, eventually leading to the end of your turn if the bar is entirely depleted.
Typically rhythm input is done with your feet using the DanceDanceRevolution dance pad - included with this bundle, but DanceDanceRevolution for Wii also includes support for the Wii Balance Board and Wii Remotes/Wii Remote Plus (both sold separately). Use of the Balance Board basically mimics that of the controller mat, only without the stomping. Use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk allows for the game's "Choreography Style Mode," an integration of hand and upper body movement, which can be added to standard four direction gameplay, as well as an expansion of the the game's multiplayer possibilities, now without the mat controller. Additional features include: unloackable tracks and outfits for your onscreen character, motivational challenges, tutorials and a variety of coop play options.
Track List

There are four different levels of difficulty, from basic to expert. The lower levels are very easy, but are great for the first-time player to get into the game and how it is played. The expert level is really a challenge, making use of all three devices (dance pad, remote, and nunchuck) simultaneously. The dance pad is very responsive to your footwork. It seems like it is very durable and is able to handle rigorous dancing. In fact, the whole game is well-made. The picture and sound quality of the game are fine. The graphics are interesting and the dancers on screen are fun to watch.
There are some great songs, both new and old, included - although the selection is much thinner than expected. Some of the songs, while great to listen to, are not necessarily the best for the purpose of dancing. Also, if you are looking for a good workout, you'll have to play on expert - and if you can't keep up then it might get discouraging. This is the first dance game I have ever bought, so I can't compare it to similar games. But I can say that it is fun and I recommend it for anyone who likes dancing, especially kids and teens.
Before its release, there was talk of this DDR title supporting the Wii MotionPlus remote and giving players the option of playing with two Wii remotes per player rather than the one remote with connected nunchuk. Whether the Konami PR department goofed or they were unsubstantiated rumors, who knows... but neither is true. You still have to deal with the remote/nunchuk cord flipping up in your face, getting twisted around your wrists, and getting stretched out as you try to perform the hand movements. Oh, and that's the other thing; the hand movements are only based on timing; not actual movements. For example, if it shows a semicricle hand movement, just waggle, and it still registers and gives you the move! I was getting 'perfects' and 'marvellous' just by waggling rather than doing the actual moves. Where is the challenge in that??? In that respect, HP3 is superior since it actually registers the movements AND timing of the hand controls. And for you DDR pros looking for a challenge, you will have to deal with a just mild challenge in choreography mode. My wife and I easily got full combos on difficult settings for every song. The expert mode is the same as difficult mode, but just without the screen markers. We've only been able to get a few full combos on expert mode, but then again we've only had the game for a little over a week. Good news is that the classic (dance pad only) and balance board modes still offer decent challenges and a pretty good workout. The balance board mode has added stepping in addition to the standard moves from HP3.
So despite the flawed choreograph mode, we still had (and still have) a great time with the game. It offers a great song selection and it has the best DDR graphics on the Wii. You still have the standard fare of unblocking new songs and character outfits as you play through the challenges. While we would recommend it to any DDR fan, we wouldn't recommend it for the $70 price level. I'd suggest waiting until it drops down to $30-$40 before getting it.
If anyone from Konami happens to be reading this, I would suggest the following; take full advantage of what the Wii MotionPlus technology has to offer. Drop the nunchuk use, take elements of Gold's Gym Dance Workout, combine it with elements from Just Dance incorporating the use of two MotionPlus remotes for each player along with the dance pad, increase the challenge level, and you will have an awesome dance game to rival anything on the Kinect or Move.

Tested and worked perfectly.
Good selection of modern music including some slower songs for practice.
Hopefully, practice will improve my skill level.
A good workout with a reasonable challenge level.
