User Rating: 9 | Dancing Stage Universe X360
Probably one of the classic games to ever be in arcades is the DDR series! And now it comes to next generation consoles starting with the 360’s version of Dance Dance Revolution Universe! I really like this game. It helps a lot with cardio and will help people to move more than sit on the couch. A few downfalls, but it’s not that bad.

Good = Perfect
Bad = Boo

Gameplay
Perfect: Classic DDR gameplay, dance pad required, workout mode is a great way to keep track of steps and calories
Boo: Quest mode is frustrating to figure out, especially competitions, cheating by using a wireless hand held controller.

Controls
Perfect: Same DDR controls, simple up, down, left, and right buttons
Boo: Hard to find the A and B button sometimes, sometimes not as responsive as you think… especially the soft pad

Graphics
Perfect: Crazy, upbeat, bright graphics! Avatars are funny, included are a few music videos
Boo: Not that much videos, some avatars are weird looking…

Sound
Perfect: Music selection is perfect for this game, sound effects are good enough
Boo: …probably needs more songs I know.

Overall
If you’ve never played a DDR game, this is the one to start with It’s a good buy for having over 70 songs! Some of the modes are hard, especially Quest Mode, but it pushes you to the limit to master the game.
