With an impressive song list and up to eight-player LAN capability, this DDR will definitely get the party started!

Game Chronicles
The bundle MSRP of $50 is surprisingly cheap in my opinion, but still not chump change. I mean, spending $50 on something you don’t particularly care for is a bummer, but spending $50 on something you don’t care for and having a bulky dance mat left over taking up precious space is even worse.

DDR SuperNOVA 2 outdoes this title in every way and that's a game that's been on the market for close to a year.

Worth Playing
With unattractive graphics, a decent song list, and no real innovations, DanceDanceRevolution X is pretty much your typical DDR mix, for better or worse. By now, you probably either like the series or you don't, and you know it.

Dance Dance Revolution X broadly sidesteps innovation and serves up another entry where enjoyment's purely a function of how much you like the set list. If you own any other DDR games, particularly last year's SuperNOVA 2, it's hard to recommend shelling out cash for this one -- aside from the new tunes, I've seen it all before.

An average rehash of everything that has been done (and at this point, possibly everything that ever will be done) in the series.

Ammy O. gave it a5:
I've been playing DDR for a long while and I have mixed feelings about this new installment. First off, the songlist is decent, but there's no challenge to them. A 12 in DDRX is really like a 9. I know I've seen harder steps. Challenge mode doesn't even cut it until the very end. Shock arrows?! WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?! I rather have our old-school Challenge mode back. Story mode is just flat-out weird. EVERYONE is a dance freak. Everybody knows everybody, so word will get around quick. Like every DDR installment, you have to get through all the episodes to get new songs. The characters improved a whole lot! Many of them really fit them nicely. There are also 3 new characters to play with. And yes, they finally brought back Alice! Another shocker is that there's no point system. Yup, no shop. Everything that you earn, you keep. No more dancing 20-something songs so you can finally buy [insert a really hard song here]! Finally, the two new MCs, Justin and Wii-Dog. I'm sorry, but they're so annoying. You can only shut them up while you're playing a song. Anywhere else and you must endure their stupidity. They do bring some life to DDRX, but try listening to them say, "Yo, these tracks are the dung diggity" or "Nice choice, Governer!" without snickering or laughing. It's stupid. It'll make you say, " I want the old MC back!" So, my judgement: Rent it or just wait until it hits the arcades.
