Stepping on arrows was always very fun. Now we can do it in High definition.

This installment of DDR is got to be hands down the best DDR to come out on a microsoft system. The song list MUCH better than the Ultramix series. If you liked the licensed tracks well this mix isn't for you. There's not many licensed tracks but instead the traditional DDR songs. If you are new to DDR by that I mean it is very euro-style and techno. Old school fans of DDR will find that this mix goes back to its roots.

Gameplay:
On your screen arrows either pointing left, right, up, or down come from the bottom of your screen and when they reach the marker you step on the corresponding arrow. It's actually simple in the beginning. Seriously...you knew how to play right.

Difficulty:
Really well thought out. Beginners should have no problem jumping right in to the game and veterans of the series are sure to be challenged. Beginners have training mode, tutorials, and a beginner difficulty. Experts have song that feature oni steps (challenge steps) and a challenge mode.

Game Features:
Game mode-pick a song and difficulty...then dance
Party mode- Multiplayer on the same console. Featuring power speed and relay games
Quest Mode- This where the game falls apart. Quest mode is the way to unlock songs. But there's is no purpose. You travel mindlessly dancing to songs and then moving on without really a reason. I personally don't like it.
Workout Mode- game mode but here you can count calories.
Challenge mode- the game presents a song and tells you to do a certain thing. Complete and move on. The higher difficulties will prove to be very challenging.
Xbox Live- Go head to head with anyone around the world if you have an xbox live gold membership.
Edit Mode-Make own steps for songs IN the game
Jukebox-Listen to your favorite DDR tunes.

Overall, this game is a lot of fun despite a few minor hold backs. If they could improve quest mode a little, allow us to import our own songs and make steps for them in edit mode this would be a perfect game. But it's still a lot of fun. High recommendation that you at least try it.
