Great for the whole family

I love this game! I bought it for my mom, yes my mom who is over 50 for Christmas and she loves it. The whole family has a great time every time we play it. It takes a few tries to understand how to get the steps and flare moves to get a better score. You can play solo, compete against one another or two people can dance together to see who gets the higher score. I'm addicted, once I get started its hard pulling me a way especially since it is great exercise. If you like dance dance revolution you will like this game.

Its a good game, silly and fun.

I've never seen the show, so I didn't really know what to expect when I played this. But my friend said it was kind of fun, so after playing it at her house, I got it as a gift.
First of all, I'd like to point out that many people on here are upset because they get the game home only to find out its not actual dancing and it's not compatible with the dance pad. Well of course it's not, it says on the back of the box it uses the wiimote and the nunchuck.
Here is how the game play works..it has a feel of guitar hero as in, theres a spot that is your action and you do the move as it scrolls across into this area. You basically move the wiimote or nunchuck, up down left or right, when it hits the center on beat. Or you have special moves you do like the twist, mash potato, wave, macaranas, stir it up, locomotion, etc. As you play each couple dances 4 songs, and then you unlock other couples. The judges judge you, on amature you need 20 points to move to the next level, and on professional you need 24 points to move to the next level.
Its fun, its not dancing at all. But its fun and silly.

Buyers remorse....

I am new to the whole game system world.. but I know fun when I see it... or in this case, play it. I love my Wii...but I am having serious buyers remorse after buying Dancing with the Stars. I was looking for a way to have fun and learn the Mambo, samba etc... The most you do on this game is move your hands up and down or back and forth. The rest of the time it is hand eye coordination only... I am already over this game.

wife loves it!

My wife is a big fan of the show, so I bought this for her for Christmas and she loves it and I love that now she understands when I want to play Halo!

Enjoyable!

My brother bought this for me for Chritmas 2007 and the whole family really enjoyed it, even the kids! Like another review I was disappointed there was not more physical movement involved, but over all it is fun.

Extremely fun and enjoyable

Played this game last night and absolutely loved it. I am amazed at how much fun it was. 2 player really gets you involved in the game! The judging is great. We played for hours, laughing and enjoying ourselves! A great family game and a fun one to watch others play.

Would be better with a Dance Pad

I would give this 3 1/2 stars if there was a half star.
I bought this game because I wanted a change from the sports game that came with my Wii. Plus I wanted a game with some dance music. This delivered both. We played with this over the Christmas holidays and my 40 year old son who doesn't usually like to dance ended up dancing with with this game which surprised me and he did very well (which didn't surprise me--he is my son!!!). It is a fun game and gets you moving most of the upper part of your body (with some arm waving and some twisting) you can end up using your feet even if there isn't anything on the Wii screen that follows your feet. It mimics the real TV show with ratings from the judges (1-10 just like on TV). I think the addition of a dance pad would really make this game a lot more fun and if it had that I would give it 4 1/2 stars. It WILL get you off the couch.

Great game!

We bought this game for our kids for Christmas and I am the one playing it. The kids play too, but i am hooked on it already. There is no dancing like dance dance revolution or anything like that, but it's still fun. You use your arms mostly and follow the arrows. there are some little dances you do, but nothing big and nothing that is going to teach anyone to dance or get exercise from. I played it a lot yesterday and my arms are feeling it a little today. The judges give their thoughts about how well you did and they also score you just like on the show. It's a fun game and i'd recommend it.

Very Fun Game!!!

This game is very fun, and somewhat resembles the show. You have to move the remote and the nunchuk as the icons come up on the screen in the direction they tell you to move it (the remote or nunchuk) in. You also have to do gestures, such as the twist. At the end of each dance, the judges give you comments and give you your scores. This game is very good, though it is hard at first to get your hands moving the right way. You can play on two modes, amateur or professional, which makes the game longer. My friend and I also had lots of fun playing cooperatively on multiplayer. On multiplayer, you may also go head-to-head. Overall, I thought that this game was really fun.

not what I expected

I wasn't really sure what to expect from the game, but I watch the show and I am a big fan, so I thought it might be fun. It is a little harder than I expected and most of it is done with the remotes and arrows in the direction you are supposed to move. I thought maybe the dance pad would be a part of how to play and also you are so focused on the arrows, you can't even see the dancers move. It is ok, just not what I thought it would be.
