GENRE(S): Rhythm Action, Simulation
PLAYERS: 2
ESRB RATING: E (Everyone)
RELEASE DATE: March 21, 2001

This is simply an unbelievably cool game, and one that you will physically HAVE to stop playing long before you want to.

Unless you have a personal connection with any of its 28 songs though, this DDR is best left for gamers that don’t know any better. [12/31/02]

The bulk of the game's music is ultrafluffy techno-pop, though it touches on a number of different varieties of dance music, including Latin, house, and reggae...a great introduction to a truly unique series with incredibly addictive gameplay and a soundtrack that will have you humming for days.

About the only crowd-favorite we seem to have gotten is "Boom Boom Dollar," but that's not to say the other songs stink, because they don't.
