    Just like the arcade, only... At home. Awesome game, good tunes, but it's not quite the same as the arcade.

    This game is my big time banner in this world! The only thing I could possibly love more than this is relatives, friends, and family. And since this game totally rocks. I am going to give you an ideal look at my 3 favorite song. #3 is the mega trance hit "Dark Black Forest (Short Trip)", #2 is the monster rock favorite "I Like To Move It", and #1 comes down on the international monster This game is my big time banner in this world!

    This is the greatest game ever made! You get to burn calories, get more coordinated with your feet, and listen to cool music all at once! I bought this game on Febuary 16, 2003, and have loved it since. All my friends have it too. This version is an edited version of the arcade version of DDR: MAX (6th mix). The only down sides this would possibly have, would be that is is a littly pricy This is the greatest game ever made!

This version is an edited version of the arcade version of DDR: MAX (6th mix). The only down sides this would possibly have, would be that is is a littly pricy (about $150 if u are really into it, and about $64 if your new.) and that its hard to learn when you start. But those dont matter once your showing off your skills in the arcades now wil it?… Expand

    DDRMAX (DDR 4) is the best installment ever seen. Why? I'm not answering why. All because I love the 71 song soundtrack. The best songs are from JS16, Darude (Sandstorm is my best song), Reel 2 Real, Even Aurora. My best songs (Vol. 4, Kakumei, and Starian) are still not there in this mix. Man that whomps! Still it's a great mix for this christmas. And I Hope the next DDR for DDRMAX (DDR 4) is the best installment ever seen. Why? I'm not answering why. All because I love the 71 song soundtrack.

    I had just played a DDR clone at an arcade, and had frowned upon it at first. WHen I got on I just couldn't stop! I had to go out and get it myself, and what do you know, it's sitting in my living room right now. I played for hours on end and I didn't stop 'till my muscles atrophied.

    I was never into dance game in arcades but for god knows what reason I decided to pick this up when it came out and I have to admit it can be fun. I can somewhat understand the appeal this game might have on some people.

    If you're a DDR fanatic, there are plenty of songs on here with CRAZY difficulty, heck there's a whole mode that'll give you a heart attack trying to keep up with it. But for a novice player, the easier songs and settings are few and far between.

    Far and away the best DDR compilation available on the home market, and fanatics will find it more than worth the investment.
