Our pediatrician recommended this as a workout for our couch potato kid, and now I (mom) am dancing, too. More convenient - and cheaper - than going outside or to the gym!

THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC!!!!! My 8 year old son requested this for Christmas. Since Santa was bringing him a PS2, we figured, why not? The price was very reasonable.

You plug the mat into the PS2 console, put in the disk and you are ready to dance. Starting out in the game mode was rather intimidating to him. If you don't hit enough moves exactly on the mark, you are "boo'd" off the stage. Needless to say, he gave up after four or five tries. He's a little sensitive to criticism. DON'T GIVE UP! THERE IS A TRAINING MODE!!!

In the training mode, you can miss all the marks and still continue to the end of the song. I had purchased an extra mat (another review) just in case what came with the system didn't hold up. We plugged in the second mat, set it for two players in the training mode, and mom and son starting dancing.

We both looked like a couple of dorks, but we quickly got the hang of hitting the marks in the basic mode. We finally ventured back into the game mode (beginner level) and have not been "boo'd" off the stage again.

After looking at the more advanced modes, I don't know how I'll be able to do all those moves without requiring hip replacement, but I'll continue to try. I'm sure though that youth will win out and my boy will be dancing through the difficult level in no time.

The greatest thing is that we have been laughing and sharing a great time together. Two hours will pass before we know it and we've had one heck of a workout. I'm a 52 year old woman who works in an office all day and not a light weight. I've lost 5 pounds so far without trying and had fun doing it. There is also a work out mode also.)

So, if you've been considering this product, go for it. I hope you dance!

Wow! This is fun.

This was bought as a Christmas present for my 15 year old..Her college age sibling came home for the holidays..and the competition was on....It only comes with one pad...so the kids went searching for an additional one. All of us including the adults ended up bring the new year in playing DDR.. We started around 6pm and it lasted until around 12:30 am..What a blast...Mom, Dad and the littlest started on Beg-Beg and Stand-Beg and the older kids started on Standard-(Basic/Advanced)..If you have more than one that wants to play you need two mats...It allows you to set two different speeds on each level. Like the Basic setting one mat on Beginner and the other on Advanced...That way the oldest can still play with the youngest....Also the Super Nova is a lot easier and forgiving than the DDR Max 2 ...

Super for beginners!

We purchased this for my kids for Christmas. They have had a blast with it. We've used it a lot (but only for two days so far), but no problems yet. The mat does tend to slip just a bit during play, but you just adjust it between songs, and it is no big deal. You start out with a lot of songs and then you can unlock even more as you play.

Perfect

I bought DDR for our teenage daughters (ages 15 and 17) for Christmas. They had enjoyed playing a friend's DDR before he moved. They have played DDR every single day without exception since they got it. They will even come home tired from school and immediately start playing DDR. It's a fabulous way to get exercise, get rid of stress, have fun, and engage with others. I recommend it to anyone with teenagers!

Fun

It's a really fun game! With lots of songs to dance to. Starters should start at level "beginner." Expert is hard for beginners. All DRRs are fun. And on accident, I clicked expert and it was really hard! You might have not heard some of the songs, so be surprised with great songs to dance to! Try a slow song, and it might be easier. And try the song "Until Forever" because I like it. Just listen to it. And try 1 song a few times on the same level, because then you can know how to do that song's dance. And on DDR Supernova 1 these people did this song (Jerk It Out) and they kept doing that song, it was a good song, but then it got annoying to me. Don't do a song too much. You might not be annoyed by it but others might be.

Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2 Bundle (includes Dance Mat) My daughter loves playing DDR. This package was great. Good music, plus an extra dance pad so she can now invite a friend to join the fun.

I purchased this last year while my brother was planning his wedding. It was something that both me and my future sister in law both wanted to try out. We had so much fun that we had to get a second mat. I purchased a foam mat. It was expensive, but well worth it. I can play for longer periods with it.
Well I brought the game to her girls night out since we had rented a couple of hotel rooms. Everyone joined in on the fun. It was quite the competition.
It is a year later and I am still loving the game. I am not the most coordinated so I highly doubt I will every make it to some of the more difficult levels, but I am having tons of fun.
It is an exceptional cardio workout. I burn about 400 calories an hour. This is very good news for me since I don't like to exercise and it need to be fun fun fun - which this is.

Great Game Great Songs

I have played many DDR games, and I like the songs on the supernova 2 the best. A-Ha, Justin Timberlake, a couple of Brittney Spears, and so much more. These songs are definitely more old-school songs - not like many of the clubbing songs that are much too fast and have no real melody.
My pad and game have worked perfectly since I got them, I play so much it's "off the mat!"
