One of the best things ever. If you don't know what it is, go here :D (http://www.ddrfreak.com/aboutddr.php)
I've just started out with ddr. I played it once at an arcade about 3 years ago and for christmas my friend, Valerie(and aparently a lot of people in my small little school) got it for christmas and I really sucked at it, but I love it and I returned a game I got and bought DDR Max for the ps2. I love it I have improved so freaking much(I have 3 AAs, which is really good compared to how i was before)
I can't wait for ddr with mario (http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=4137) as long as it doesn't really, really suck.
So who else loves this thing

edit: the title looks really messed up...

I think theres a thread on this, but oh well..

Yeah, I like DDR, also. I just got DDR Extreme. Yay. Fun game to play. Im pretty good at it, I guess. I can play most 9-difficulty songs.

um well I've been playing DDR for ALMOST 3 years (march will be three) and I'm not all that good really I've AAed all the NON-10-foot songs on Extreme, I play on reverse (and usually solo) and I have 4 arcade AAA's (Nori Nori Nori, Happy Wedding, SIlent Hill (3rd Christmas mix) and Last Message. All on heavy).I play on reverse and I originally started on a 3rd mix, then went to a 5th and then an extreme (and I played max 2 a few times). and um you should join http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/index.php it's the biggest (I'm pretty sure) DDR forum on the net (I post as ~Ang3lz~ there)

You can't search DDR, and Dance Revolution doesn't bring up a particular thread

dont take offense to this (since I am really into this game as are alot of people) but you arent that good at it. being good at DDR is when you can say you can AA something (usually something hard like Tsugaru, or Xenon)
Again please dont get mad.

hehe well in that case i suck but compared to my friends im pretty good. i dont do anything extreme with it but i wish i could. i just play for fun. i have ddr max and ddr max 2 for ps2. i wanted ddr extreme but didnt get it for christmas so ill probably wait until my birthday to get it.

its fun to play it in the arcade because most people where i live dont really play it and if they do they arent that great and i can beat them. makes me feel a little better about myself

i had a little ddr competiton with ray, a guy in my grade... let me just say i whopped his ass haha and i was plating on standard and some maniac and he was on basic hehe

What do you guys think of this game as an aerobic workout? We had discussed this in an earlier thread. Do you think this can be an effect workout?

Yeah, I'd say it's a workout, as long you use one of the harder dances. It's not a strenuous workout or anything, but it's still good for people who aren't major excersisers. My mom works in the health department of her school, and they're rallying to buy some DDR's for the school.

Also, I love this game, but I've never quite forgiven it for one time when I was doing really badly and it told me to "go to hell." :( lol, my friends and I still laugh about that.

I have DDR for my Xbox :D.

I have DDR for my Xbox... and I suck at it really really bad. Before work, we would always have a DDR competition in our nearby arcade thingy, and I would always lose miserably. One of the funniest things ever: watching me play that game. *sigh* :cool:

hahahaha.. i felt like such a dork when i first tried DDR. i think if i were alone.. i'd kick ass at it. but i have this friend back in my old town.. he was so awesome. it was crazy nuts!

I love this game and actually just found out about it this christmas...my roomate is getting the PS2 and DDR for her birthday and we actually plan on using it as a substitute workout when we are running short on time. I think it's tons of fun. Although everyone gets a good laugh when I play because I concentrate to hard and stick my butt out and trip over my feet. Oh well at least I provide some entertainment :p

my school has an actuall DDR club. i suck at it and can barely even do the slowest ones, but i went to one of the meetings one time and watched a ton of people, some of them were really good...*wishes i could dance*

Yeah I think it can be a good workout...to some extent. My husband got it for xmas and it is a good workout for him. It gets you heart rate up and stuff. I don't think that it is perfect for everyone but if you want a fun way to get your heart pumping...then I think it can be a good thing. Certainly better than coming home and sitting on the sofa all night! :)

that is awesome. i wish my school had a ddr club...although id doubt many people would join it ... hmm maybe i should start one. that would rock. not only would i be a part of a clu where we can play ddr but its just one more thing to add to me college resume... haha ::is off to try and start a ddr club::


oh and as far as the workout thing is concerned, i like to use it to get my hert pumping and just burn off some extra energy. its a better owrkout though if you play the harder levels on standard or maniac or if you do the challenge level songs.

I think it's fun. I haven't played it since summer, but I got pretty good at Max and Max 2. I can play most songs on standard and do okay.

My friend Sam is obsessed with it, but he's at college with his nice dance pads. So is my brother Matt. He started a DDR club at Ferris State University, so if anyone goes there...join it.

Anyway, I miss it and want to play it again. :( I think some of my friends just got it, though...so we'll see.

I love playing this game but i freaking suck at it :D

For the record then- the hardest song that I can do and pass with flying colors is Healing Vision [Angelix Mix] and get like an A. Or Era [Nostalmix] and get A or AA.

Healing Vision [A. Mix] on standard and Era [nostalmix] on heavy.

YAY A DDR thread!! I RULE at this game! On DDR Max 2, the song end of the century is amazing, I can do it perfect on light mode. But I'm on standard now. ::feels superior to people on light mode:: :) I play it with my friend so much that I'm losing weight, if thats possibile! The whistle song is so dirty if you listen to the lyrics, lmao. Blow my whistle baby ;)

On a related story.

2 years ago, I tried to get my middle school to get DDR for PE (i had charts, articles from other schools, contacts, etc. that can confirm DDR's efficiency for Phys. Ed. use), unfortunately, the machines cost $3K-8K. Phew. A little over budget- not to mention insurance and shipping. x_x I was close to getting one- but the only worry was insurance and maintenance (I was able to prove that the machine would pay for itself, should it live long enough, so upfront cost was not an issue, much).

So maybe one of you guys can shoot for it at your school.

haha lots of the songs have some dirty connotations to it. thats just one more reason why ddr is so freaking amazing. in fact after im done being an evboard addict, i do believe i am going to play tonight. my room is the basement and its freezing and ddr does wonders to warm me up :)

haha, I would love to have a room in the basement, i could do odd things down there and no one would ever know... lol jk.

The DDR club at my school has a lot of members actually, and my school isnt huge or anything, it would be a cool idea to start one if any of u guys wanted to... i sadly like watching other people play more than actually doing it myself, seeing as how i have *extroardinary* talents for DDR...

my friend likes DDR.

I just got two DDR mats yesterday for our XBOX. They're AWESOME!! Haha, I've played it so much that my mom forced me to take a break, lol. I have a friend who plays it constantly at the mall and I have another friend who has a mat at her house. I've seen them play and I've always wanted to learn myself so I finally got one. They're so much fun and at the same time they're a good exercise (awesome). It's like a two in one deal. But yea, I'm slowly getting better, although I'm still on the "light" level, haha. I also love how it actually has a workout game in it. You can enter your weight, set a goal (either calories, or time) and then it tells you how many calories (or your time) you burned after each song and it subtracts it from your goal. It's so cool, lol!

which ddr do you have? i just got ddr extreme 2 for ps2. i havent really played since christmas break though because i just dont have the time :(

it's got a lot of new stuff and it's fun, but i don't really like how it's like a web when im playing in the mode to unlock stuff.

my and my sister are DDr freaks. We used to go to the arcade daily and we own every game there is. I'm no where near as good as she is. She plays all the time. Me I only played occasionally so I'm only on standard. Sadly she took all the DDR stuff to college so I haven't played in a while.

My friends tried to form one, but the school only allows 3 new clubs made a year.
They worked so hard, too. It was organized and very elaborate.
But does the school take the idea? Hell no! [/rant]

Anyway, I love the game. I haven't played in awhile, but I'm OK. I have DDR Max 2 (PS2), and I'm on standard, borderline heavy mode.

Shortly after DDR first came to the arcade in a nearby mall I was watching all the Hmong people in their dancing frenzy and I was like, I BET I CAN DO THAT. But I never wanted to do it without my cousin present, and him being the honkey he is, he didn't want to try it. So we never did it.

Recently I decided on a whim to buy DDR 2 (do I need to be more specific) after watching "The Biggest Loser" on NBC and being absolutely disgusted by how all these fat people on TV were exercising to the point of exhaustion + sweating profusely and I'm just LYING THERE on my couch. I was like *rolls off couch, becomes proactive*

That was like three weeks ago, AND I'VE PLAYED IT THREE TIMES. Haha. The first time my legs started cramping up and they were sore for like a week, it was really sad. It was a good thing I never did do it publicly b/c I would've embarrassed the hell out of myself with my bogus-ass clunky footing. *remembers struggling not to fall over + flailing about during first DDR experience* I'm getting better, but I still can't manage anything beyond "light." ;_;

My favorite songs are the Beethoven (or is it Mozart... WHATEVER SAME DIFFERENCE) fast-paced one and "Silence" with Sarah McLachlan.

I never played DDR before but I know what it is...it's pretty popular where I live too.

Haha, once, the Asian Club at my school hosted DDR day at lunch :cool: Like a bunch of people went to it. I was only one of the spectators watching from outside the classroom they held it in though :p

Mine is DDR Ultramix. It has really bad songs... I think they're just made up for the game... really badly, lol. So, do yall's have like real songs on them or something? That's so not fair... I need to get those then, haha. I'm tired of dancing to "Castles in the Sky" whatever the heck that means. :rolleyes:

As for DDR, i am one of those people who just sucks but keeps playing anyway. I play generally on light and occasionally on standard. Those half-beat-step thingys always screw me up, so i like light :P My favorites are rhythm and police (light), cartoon heroes (light) little bitch (light) and crash (standard). I don't have any home versions so i play at the arcade.

The one time I played DDR was at my cousin's house, and my then-11-year-old cousin beat my ass. I failed miserably LOL oh man did I suck (and I was actually surprised; I'm a fairly decent dancer). But it was a lot of fun, and if I was more into video games, I'd look into getting one for my brother's Gamecube (if they make it for that).

Someday, I will get DDR and learn how to kick ass on it ;)

i havent played in the longest time but it's kinda like ridin' a bike.

i should start playing again and start exercising. my ass has gotten lazy

i love playing the arcade, but it's a bit too expensive to do that all the time. the arcade is best for double mode because my matts will move a bit as i jump from one to the other.

anyone here ever memorize the arrows to a song and do crazy dance stuff while playing like some people do in videos on youtube?

i can't do that, but it's sick.

I've never tried DDR, but I've always wanted to. Maybe I can get my little brother to help pitch in some money to get it for the Playstation 2. Hmmm, I'll have to mention that to him, although if I do get it, that means I will have to clean my room.^_^

I hear that.
There were these kids in China that were wearing high heels. Shiz, lemme tell you, they PWNed.

And Katya, when it comes to dancing, DDR doesn't give a crap, unfortunately. :)

true true true. i cant dance, but i can play ddr haha. i am so white when it comes to dancing. i have little to no rhythm. :(

but i can ddr better than all my friends :)

So I now have Ultramix 1 and 3. I need 2... Although all I ever play is the first one. I have like this routine I like to do where I go to workout mode, set it to heavy, and go through a list I've created (basically it's just the songs I like) as many times as I can. *is a weight freak now*

Flash Flash Revolution (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/index.php).


Enjoy.

ive played there before. there are quite a few challenging songs on there. i prefer ddr though. as much fun as it is to give my fingers a workout, the cardio from ddr is preferred.

Pump is so much better than DDR.

I play DDR a whole lot. I can AA Tsugaru heavy, A renasaiccence (sp?) on heavy and im currently working on Max 300. But, I also play a little game called Stepmania. and on stepmania I can AA Reality on c400 (if you dont know what stepmania is. google it. I'm sure you'll find something ^^v)

I really want DDR. But atlas I'm only 15 and I can't find a job so I don't have any money. I have to buy a ps2 also cuz I opted to get a gamecube instead for the Zelda series.
Anyway, my friend has this one, I don't know what its called b.cuz I've only seen it once, but its related to DDR I think only its a guitar. Its a cool concept.
At a youth center in my town they have hard mat instead of the soft one's.... I like the hard ones better.

I'm guessing guitar hero?

And i can't get stepmania to work on my computer -.- THIS THING DOESN'T RUN ANYTHING. I guess its back to the arcade.

Yeah, that's it.... thanks!

Yay, DDR! Mum said she might get it for me this summer. <3 My boyfriend is really good at it...

You know you're goth when you can pass Max 300 on heavy mode from DDR... in 6-inch platform boots, bondage pants, and a black leather trenchcoat.

:eek:

DDR is the German abbreviation of formerly East Germany..I saw the titel and was like wtf, DDR, dance revolution?!:p

I've played it once in a mall here, fun!

I'm guessing guitar hero?

And i can't get stepmania to work on my computer -.- THIS THING DOESN'T RUN ANYTHING. I guess its back to the arcade.
Did you put the folders in the right place? or when you unzipped them the files have to be in the actual folder. not in a subfolder. like when you click on it the files have to be there. ((hey also have to have DWI files in it too.))

My friend burned me a disk with everything on it, i'm not sure if i did everything right though. I just copy&pasted everything into my documents. I'm guesing thats not right?

I suck with computers :/

haha, I played DDR last night with some friends...I definitely failed, but I passed a few with a B...on beginner level. Haha, hey...I TRIED. But oh man, I really want DDR for myself now. That game is so addictive. :D

Yea, you have to install properly and put all the folders in the right place. Its hard to do especially if you're moving all your files from a CD, because all the songs lose their encoding when you burn them to a disc. ^^; So, Basically all you have is a bunch of songs with graphics attached to them.

Ah.... I should probably just download it or something?

Yea, download the program. then download the song files. then extract them in to the song folder ^^

I played DDR for the first time two days ago! Well, actually, it was in an arcade and it was called 'In The Groove 2", but whatever it's the same concept :p It's pretty fun, but I totally suck at it...at first I had no idea what arrows to follow because their was a mat on the screen, and then there were the gray arrows you had to follow on top of it, but I followed the arrows when they reached the map :p

Does anyone know if DDR is on regular Playstation? I already have the original Playstation, and I don't want to have to buy a fucking PS2 to just play one game.

there are older versions that were made for ps2 and the matts should work because the slot is the same though i dont know for sure.

if you can find the old games made for ps, then you can play on ps 1

but i must say, the newer ones are much better, they offer more and have better songs. that's just my opinion :)
