Dance Dance Revolution

Have y'all played this game? It's outstanding! It's an arcade game that they often have at Galaxy Cinema arcades, it come to us from Konami in Japan (as all good video games do.) The game works like this: There is a game pad that you stand in the center of with a pad in front, behind and to either side of you. You watch a screen in front of you and you have to dance along with the man on the screen hitting the appropriate pads at the appropriate times (like glorified Twister/Simon Says.) There are different skill levels and music levels. $1 Cdn will buy you 2 songs and a 3rd if you do well in the 2nd. There is a ton of remixed oldies songs plus a whole bunch of new ones. My favourite is called "Step Over Beethoven" and it's a remix of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. It's awesome! You work up such a sweat playing that it's gotta be good exercise. Good job for Konami for thinking up a video game that causes kids to exercise while having fun! I'm definitely going to buy this one for my PS2 as soon as I have the extra $130 Cdn or so I'll need for a pad and the game that has the Beethoven song (unfortunately it's Extreme 8 and currently $70 shipped from Japan).
