It's much easier that way Some of the songs you can download seem like they'd be physically impossible to complete on a mat--though if they are possible, I'd love to see it done. The only way I can imagine is if maybe there were two people, each manning two arrows.

Indeed, in fact, my friend first introduced me to DDR with an online keyboard version of it. It was . . . interesting. I didn't actually get into DDR until earlier this year.

Thanks, EK! $\:D/$ Do they offer any Christians songs or remixes?

They might just keep searching

I haven't been able to find any DDR sites that offer Christian music.

I tried it once and looked like a fool. I thought I was doing really well and then someone told me I was looking at the wrong screen. Frankly though, I think the people who are really good at that game look the weirdest. It doesn't really look like dancing to me.

What exactly is this game about?

Jennifer Doyle · Post by **Jennifer Doyle** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 7:13 pm

Are you stalking my posts good sir?

The game is a "dancing game" with a floor panel of four arrows. A screen shows you the arrows in time to music and you have to stomp on the correct one to get points.

No I'm not stalking your posts

I've found myself looking at the wrong screen on occasion.

It certainly looks like dancing you get to the more extreme levels. Insane.

It's really all about rhythm, J-man.

I've played DDR a few times at a friend's house on the beginner and light modes...it's all right for the most part, except some of the songs on my friend's edition (forget which one) are immoral.

Sunday mentioned DDR for Christian music-- I reiterate that would be awesome. However, stepping into producers'/game creators' shoes, there's not much of a market for that.

I played DDR for the first time two weeks ago at an arcade in Universal Studios in Orlando, and immediately fell in love. I've since played at a friend's house and at an arcade in my home town, and can't get enough of it! The game is so fun, and also far more profitable than most video games, as you get a nice work out doing it. I can barely play on light, though I can manage beginner fairly well. Impressive I know.

One thing I don't like though is that the only Xbox version of DDR that I've seen - DDR Ultramix 2 only has songs that I don't know, and most of those I don't like that much. I find the arcade version much more fun because it has songs I know - We are the Champions, We Will Rock You - and songs I enjoy dancing to - 1998, DDR Ultimate mix (or something like that). I've heard about DDR Ultramix (1). Are there any familiar songs on that version? I am tempted to buy a dance mat and DDR, but won't if the Xbox version songs aren't fun to dance to. (I don't own a PS2.) Can you unlock or download (prefferably for free) any sweet pop songs for Ultramix 2? Are there good songs in Ultramix 1?

Beginner is awesome. Although I must say light is much more fun.

Interestingly enough, I didn't get hooked onto DDR from the arcade places, but from someone's home. They had an older version of DDR for their PS2 and a couple pads. I tried it and failed miserably. But after Christmas, I was wondering what to do with my Future Shop (equivalent of and owned by Best Buy) gift cards. Guess what I purchased?

I really should get out one day and check out those arcades. Now that I've developed my DDR skills at home on my Xbox, I should go out and see what the arcade version has to offer.

- DDR Ultramix songlist
- DDR Ultramix 2 songlist

I own Ultramix 2 and enjoy a number of the songs.

Yes, you can. However, song packs (five songs) are $5.00 US each plus tax.

Thank you for that very extensive, very helpful response Trent! That answers many questions, and generally made my night. I'm sending you a little something in appreciation...

You're very welcome and I'm glad it helped answer your questions.

I'm really looking forward to DDR3... although I should probably master the songs on Standard for DDR2 first.
