DDR

Hey! Sorry for the late re, just starting to check out the forums here. Anyways, I agree... a game o' DDR is always fun, and with the "workout mode" to show calories burned, it's pretty sweet.

Fun to admit, I have four pads and two of the games for the Wii (my friends mocked me from the start... sigh), and can't do much beyond Basic myself (ha)... but that doesn't stop me!

I never really played through the games...so yesterday I downloaded game saves to unlock all songs... never realized how much better the "later" songs are fitness-wise - more constant steps and such.

Any fellow DDR fans, feel free to add me - we'll have to have some contests...

I love DDR! That was *the game* for my circle of friends in high school...I still have the steps for "In the Navy" memorized (yet I can't remember where I put my keys...go figure) My husband and I have been shopping around online to find a set of nicer mats. (Always hated the ones that came with the game.)

Woops... I thought MFP emailed when there was a topic reply! Yep, the white fluff pads that come with it are a little flaky, but they work just well enough for us to get something other than a E!, haha...

In The Navy... that sounds like an awesome song for DDR! Could you do it on the Difficult+ setting? I don't know how anyone can keep up with the Difficult/Expert on most songs - I can hardly focus on the arrows to see what's coming before they pass, let alone move my feet! Maybe you just have to memorize all the steps and go for it!?

I play every day! I was super into it during high school and now that I've gotten back into it, I'm doing better than I was back then. The biggest thing for has been building stamina so I don't pass out halfway through the song. Unfortunately, I don't have many people to play with ;_; It's helped me a lot in staying fit, I can happily say I am a DDR addict. I haven't played any of the newer games (after the ps2 releases), are they any good? I play in arcades too, but it's so much cheaper to play at home 8D

Guilty.

Use to own one. Dang, now I want to go to an arcade station

I just got to pull my DDR out of storage and after playing like 3 times my mat quit working. Finding a new one is gonna be fun.

ERMAGAWD BEST INVENTION EVER. I could play that for hours as well! Really is a great workout!!!! And it's fun ;D

totally agree!! If only I'd kept up with it since high school, lolz.

I even bought a metal pad!! ...not that it gets much use lately =((

But srsly, so awesome

I had the mat for my PS2, then my dog broke it so, sad. I love playing Dance Central now, Dance Central 3 is awesome.

I loooove DDR! Korea doesn't have it so I can't play as much, but I'm going home for a couple weeks and it's all I will be playing. Such a good workout! I play standard/heavy intermixed so I am always sweating by the time I'm done, lol.

I love DDR. Ive been playing for 12 plus years and competed in a lot of tournaments throughout my days ( and won). I'm pretty old school. Lol I mostly play arcade only since I have a machine within walking distance for me and I get free credits
I usually prefer playing DDR for my exercise because I never feel like I actually am exercising. It's sad because it's so fun I usually play for 3 hours straight and on heavy. Pretty much have the game AAA'd on heavy mode minus the 10 footers ( besides Sakura)
I don't think I will ever stop playing, it's way too much fun and the best cardio ever!
