Video Game Reviews of Dance Dance Revolution Universe Bundle
Customer Review: OK for some cheap fun, get the newer versions
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought the bundled game and pad:
Game:
The game has a new user mode, good for newbies who need training.
It was not clear that you could only play 2 players if you had two pads (or the handheld controller), otherwise you must log in/out of your xbox to switch XBox live accounts between songs if you want to save your game.
There seem to be very few hits / radio songs with many being similar versions of the same old beats.
The animations are rather simplistic and graphics appear almost pixillated on a big screen HDTV.
Would have tried playing against others on XBox Live, but could never find any matching dance partner. I think most others have already given up on this one.
The quest mode is a pain in the behind because many of the quests require you to do things that most of the random songs do not have, so even when completing a song with high marks, you still fail.
Pad:
The pad sucks. My size 10 1/2 feet do not have any room to spare in the boxes on the pad, so I am constantly setting off one of the adjacent controls. My wife does fine with her womens size 7s. Doubly frustrating is that the pad slides all over the floor, and forget using it on carpet. This throws off the sensors so you don't get a consistent contact. I thought about gluing it to some plywood. I image this may be alleviated in non-carpet situations and sliding would be limited by the rubber-ish backing.
Altogether this makes executing many of the combos rather difficult. This despite the fact that I do well on the arcade offerings, and am an ok dancer in general.
Overall, This game was a bit disappointing after what I remember playing so many a time at the arcade. I wish I had read the other product reviews prior to buying. Looking now, I should have paid a little extra for Universe 2 or 3.
However, the game is ok for a cheap starter and my wife and I have had hours of fun playing. Any game that gets you off your seat is a plus. This one will make you sweat, so dress appropriately.
