I bought this game to hopefully get my 8 year old daughter into playing games with me. What wound up happening is that I became hooked and she is watching from the sidelines. This was my first DDR game and I find that this is a good start for the series on the Wii. I don't find the hand motions difficult, although it doesn't acknowledge when you have a hand motion accurate the same way as the feet motions - that is frustrating. The songs are ok, I do wish that it had a tutorial mode that walked you through all available options and explained how to get the hidden songs -- Of course if the manual had this information it would have been helpful as well. And, it did take quite a bit of time trying to figure out where to turn off the hand markers so that the rest of my family could play and just concentrate on the foot markers. I am looking forward to spending some more time alone with this game, without playing against someone else so that I can get better at it. I do have to say that this gameplay is a far cry from the first person shooters that I normally play, but a very welcome change.
Overall this is a solid game and I am looking forward to new versions for the Wii.
