Topic: Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

[WesDawg]

Games Are Fun has a preview of this up too, and they claim its all dumbed down and easy. Have you read that Ty? Is there any basis for it or are they just stupid? Everything they say is almost exactly the opposite of what you wrote.

He sounds like a total scrub and not valid

[vudu]

I don't want no scrubs / A scrub is a guy who can't get no love from me

[Nephilim]

well its out
Im thinking about getting it next week online
any new reviews?

[Nephilim]

I got the game today
will point out a few things which have been falsy said by people who "reviewed" the E3 version

-Every song is remixed on here, It also features a few new tracks...most remixes are techno or jazz.... Sadly no Speed trance remixes
-Bowser can now break dance (looks cool)
-Story mode lasts about 1hour, which is pretty good for a dancing game
-Features a Jpop song in English, a Mario remix features a reggae guy singing in japanese, commentator is the ddr guy and perfects/goods are japanese
-Heavy is heavy, standard seems to get to about 5-6 foot (dr mario remix)
-Toad is annoying, and guides you thu story mode.
-Not baised on sunshine like other spin-off games but features a the octopus from sunshine.
-Mini games are fun but much like donkey konga ones, you will play them a few times and then not touch them again
-Stages are interactive with your dancing (example. if you miss a step while mario is controlling the ship, then the ship/screen will shake)
-you can turn off items when choosing the stage, most items are annoying... most fun is proberly the rocket ship

edit: The matt is pretty good too, I played it on a wood floor, and the only real time it moved/slipped was when I tried the heavys
only thing I didnt like was the foot area's arnt very large, I often missed the Down arror when I stepped back

I downloaded the songs from...somewhere, and jeez, these songs just feel forced with the Mario theme in them. I just dont see Mario dancing to these songs mostly since they have too much of a techno flare which feels rather...dare I say it...

queer.

I do want to pick this up, though. Some of it definatley sounds like fun.

By the way, which Mario characters are in this?

[Nephilim]

mario, luigi, toad, waluigi, wario, hammer brothers, toadette, octopus and bowser
+ others

[Bartman3010]

I should probably say that some of the songs are okay, but the overall soundtrack leaves a lot desired

[Nephilim]

bowser stage is really hard on Very hard, proberly a 7 or 8....I would hate to do it on the final difficulty (so much for the game being easy)
I unlocked 4 songs, they really suck (twickle twickle little star wtf?)...you get to unlock stages by doing story on normal or higher difficulty, you get to buy them, with money you make from rank and mini games.

I loved all but two songs...Looks like I'll like the game more than you...

[Smash_Brother]

25-30 songs is disappointing, but I'll still likely pick up the game anyway...

[Nephilim]

yeah but its 29 new/remixed songs
there not just 10 "new" licenced songs, 3 konami remixes and 30 rehashed songs from older ddr games

[Ghisy]

Alright, I decided to give this a try.
I bought a used but like new copy (stupid PAL because the US version sells at crazy prices on Ebay but seems like both versions are the same) and I have to admit I really enjoy it!
I've always thought, for some reason, that DDR looked stupid, well, I think it's just because I've never tried it before!!
The dance mat takes a lot of space though, I thought it'd be smaller than that.
