Three and a half years after its initial Japanese release, Americans get a shot at the Dancing game which swept through the Japanese arcades, breaking every sales and revenue record. Played "Simon Says" style with a dance pad, it's all the arcade fun, less the embarrassment.

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

Dance games will probably never get any better than this.

Cincinnati Enquirer

An extremely fun dancing game.

GamePro

Translates very well to the home. Boogie down!

PSX Nation

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]

GameSpot

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.
