DDR Max

DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) is great at making exercise fun.

I don’t understand the “secret” to this game though. My guess so far is to master it, you need to memorize all the steps for the song. Right now we (my wife and myself play versus, at the same time) play 4-5 songs, on light and standard difficulty. Therefore I’ve only memorized 1 maybe 2 songs on light.

Light is pretty easy now that we’ve played them through a few times. We can get the “AA” score which means we hit every step (either Perfect or Great) and a combo with every step in order without any misses.

Standard on the other hand is HARD! Holy crap! Well, it depends on the song, but usually it involves 2-3 times as many steps as the light version, the steps now fall in between the beats (syncopated) and its usually FAST!

Seems this country likes to sit on its ass and watch TV, play video games, etc. Luckily this game involves exercise, allowing you to “have fun” by playing a video game. Works good at distracting my mind away from the fact that I am exercising. I’ll never go to a gym just to work out. I have to be playing a sport or in thise case playing a game so I’m not JUST exercising…too boring.

    Well, you *do* have to memorize each step. That's why "competitive ddr/piu dancers" usually train one music at a time for long periods of time. They usually look at the screen to try and match the rhythm, but all on all they have all steps memorized. Looking for tournament ddr videos (tons of them around) might make things a little bit clearer. There are some people with way too much time on their hands.
