Critic Reviews

82 Cheat Code Central
With an impressive song list and up to eight-player LAN capability, this DDR will definitely get the party started!
60 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.
54 IGN
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.
53 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.
42 1UP
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.
42 Game Revolution
An average rehash of everything that has been done (and at this point, possibly everything that ever will be done) in the series.
