    I love In the Groove. I still play it frequently. It's way better than Dance Dance Revolution. The steps are more interesting and fun. And the music isn't the same recycled songs in another games *cough * DDR always recycles songs. Full Review »

    With my bro and my buddie, this game is truly flawless. it's become a tradition at the arcades for us. very challenging, unlike DDR, which is way too easy when you go pro. ITG is the dance game veteran now, and if you want an excellent game, as well as a very, VERY challenging experience, then by all means, pop those tokens in. Full Review »

    In The Groove is a step up from Dance Dance Revolution. It has more modifiers including scripted modifiers that in turn create more difficult courses. The "expert" stepcharts are more difficult than DDR's "heavy" or "challenge." The difficulty ranges from 1 (novice only) to 13. The arrows are different than DDR's, though it works best for this game as it is easier to keep on beat with the color-coded arrows (red - 4th, blue - 8th, etc.). I would recommend this game to anyone, especially fans of the DDR series or any music-rhythm series. Full Review »
