Fun:
If you're bored with the pre-set track lists on your dance games, then this is the game for you. It has a few tracks already programmed to get you started but the real fun comes from using your own cd's. It's fairly user friendly when it comes to generating the dance steps and naming the tracks on the cd and you can save them to your memory card so you can pick your favourites the next time you use the cd. There is even a mini-game (a kind of reverse Tetris) for you to play while the game is generating the dance routines (although it does slow the process down if you play it!) Dip into a cd in Play Mode, or work through the whole thing in order in Endurance mode.
One word of caution, the steps don't always gel with the music. I've tried it with a couple of cd's that have a mix of styles and tempos of music and the faster tracks seem to work better than the slower ones. Although this in itself can be a challenge and did make for a good workout.
Basically if you want a dancing game to try and beat every difficulty with 100% perfect every time, this might not be the game for you. If you want a game for exercise and enjoyment then you'll love it.

Fun:
It is very easy to generate steps for just about any track (I've tried a variety from mainstream pop, to disco, dance and even a few rock tracks to test its potential), you just stick in your chosen CD, select create and it does the rest. It's really easy to rename the tracks too as you can use either the dance mat or the standard controller.
When you're bored of the song you can create steps for a new one and when you're bored of the steps it even has an option to create your own!!
I've found it takes about 30 seconds or so to create a track and it made a whole CD in about 10 minutes (20 tracks). You can then save the steps to your memory card so it only takes a few seconds to retrieve for next time.
On occasion the steps aren't quite on the beat (usually a split second or two behind), I found that songs with a strong bass beat work better. If you want to achieve 100% perfection on every dance, or if you're used to playing in arcades then you'll probably find this frustrating, but if you're at beginner or intermediate level (as I am) and you're bored of the limitations of other dance mat games then this is the game for you. It even got my husband playing so it can't be bad ;)

Fun:
I bought this game because the thought of being able to dance to my own songs was amazing! However it is better played without any music or with the volume on your television set to mute.
Usually you expect to 'dance' to the beat of the music you are listening to (which I thought was the point) however this game is out of sync with whatever song is currently playing and it is confusing and very aggrivating, especially if you have played other dance games and know that you are not as bad as the game tells you that you are. You eventually block out whatever song is playing because you are trying to work out what the tempo of the steps are and when you're supposed to step on the arrows.
It is still aggrivating on workout mode when it tells you to 'tone up' or that you are 'getting flabbier' because you are not stepping on the arrows at the right time - but when is the right time is the question!
I will give this game credit for being the only game on the market (to my knowledge anyway) that allows you to bounce about to your own music.
I would recommend it for those of you seeking some light hearted entertainment - but not if you like going to arcades and using those dancing machines.

Amazing Game
This is without a doubt an amazing game. I previously had played Dance UK, but as this game is now a few years old I found that the songs were out of date and boring. Read more
