this insults me... i mean, the quote about "Britney-like skills" makes me want to throw whoever wrote that through a window, along with my dancepads for being compared to anything dealing with britney spears.... and what's up with being tech-savy? since when did owning playstation make a girl "tech-savy"?

this is sad. ::sighs:: why does everything i like become a fad?

Has it occured to anyone that to get a decent work out you have to play on maniac with 9's for an hour? And the time it takes to get good enough to do that? Or even that if you DO decide to try and get a work-out on basic, you will have to play for about 8 hours straight?

what's wrong with these people. it's not about getting a workout.......

mmm...yea...who was reading 17.....cmon, guilty party step forward to get flamed horribly

so thats what 17 year old girls think of ddr. great.

whats up with ddr and all this (imo) bad publicity. i got a kick out of the comic, and i loved teh will and grace appearance, but in 17 and on a soap opera...?

the only good thing about this possibly going mainstream is im gonna be a complete jerk to teeniebopping newbies and wreck them at any song they try.

Goodness people. DDR actually sorta can be a work out on basic/standard. The point is that it's fun and it's not sitting on the couch with a controller.

When was the last time you watched a new person bouncing around like they're on a trampoline playing basic? That IS a workout. It's mainly just the more experienced people that have to play maniac to get a good workout because they're better at conserving energy while playing.

Ok, so am I the only person who plays ddr and doesnt care what the hell anyone else thinks? As long as someone doesnt come up to me and act like a total jerk, booing me after every arrow, then I dont care what other people's opinions are of me (although I do enjoy a good applause if people are watching

) So go ahead and laugh at me after I finish a song. I'm still going to keep on playing.

Somewhat disappointed in regards to seeing so many negative and satyric posts instead of encouraging ones of this genre... as noted.. that DDR is a just another game that everyone can enjoy - not as so inclusive as people that do a nine-footed difficulty level for hours on end. Clarification that it is not an solely underground phenomenon with inclusive culture. So be it that there are people that work out and that some dance games are loosely linked to Britney Spear's dance beat (Konami makes more money with the royalty rights anyways; and the company experiments with other genres and mass media that everyone can enjoy) All the better with publicity (it's entertaining and perks interest) unless you dont want the publicity (those who fear for their own negative personal outlook with several associations with the game(s)) which has the opposite reaction stopping production of similar games altogether?
