Do any of you play DDR?

[Angrist]

I'm looking into buying a version for the Wii. I once got hooked on the Mario Mix, but let's be honest: it's the worst version of DDR ever.

I had some friends over but (I think) they didn't like the simple Mario tunes. So now I'm considering a pop version (and a 2nd mat).

Do any of you know what version to get? I assume that on the Wii you don't HAVE to use the Wiimote while dancing, right?

The thing I really have to ask is what difficulty do you play on?

I was pretty hardcore into DDR my senior year of high school, and even more so when I had access to an arcade machine and later got a cobalt flux pad which was quite possibly the best money I ever spent on a controller after going through about 4 soft pads.

However if you're only playing the game on Light or Standard difficulty you should be fine with the soft pads for a long time.



As far as DDR songs go now, I feel it's mostly trash, and easy. Nothing will ever be as fun as the first time I AA'd Max 300 after like 6 years of playing the game.

Anyway, Was looking at the song list and you would be fine with the newest DDR game for the wii. It's just called Dance Dance Revolution II.

Here is a partial track list. I can't find a full one:

More Than Alive, The Ready Set
Whip My Hair, Willow
A Year Without Rain, Selena Gomez & The Scene
Only Girl (In The World), Rihanna
This Time I Know It's For Real, Donna Summer
Somebody To Love, Justin Bieber
Baby ft. Ludacris, Justin Bieber
Just The Way You Are, Bruno Mars
Nothin' On You (feat. Bruno Mars), B.o.B.
Can't Be Tamed, Miley Cyrus
Don't You Want Me, The Human League
Just A Dream, Nelly
Beautiful Monster, Ne-Yo
Spice Up Your Life, Spice Girls
IN MY HEAD, Jason Derülo
Candy Girl, New Edition
Don't Go, Yaz
Strip Me, Natasha Bedingfield
Rocket, Goldfrapp
Still Unbreakable, Des-ROW Ft. Vanilla Ice
Say a Prayer, Des-ROW with Maxi Priest

Unfortunately DDR is kinda dead.

Thanks for the tips. I played the best songs of Mario Mix on Very Hard. I disliked Super Hard because they add way too many of those annoying 'half notes' to the mix.

Also, I guess most people have this, but I was better at the fast songs than at the slow ones. So yeah, I guess I'm looking for a challange here. I'm not really into the latest pop music, but I guess that can't be helped.
