Great game if you give it time! April 30, 2008

I've had this game for a little while now and must say, i love it!!
I always enjoyed playing on the arcade version so to have one in my house was a must!
The hand signals were annoying at first as they are slightly behind the beat, but this problem is solvable once you get the hang of it.
I think turning the hand signals off ruins the whole aspect of the wii but each to their own.
I've been working on the dance circuit stages and am stuck, but give it time, I'll get my feet moving quick enough.
All in all, if you like a bit of a workout and have enjoyed the dance machines in the arcade, i'd definately recommend it!
GIve it a go! April 25, 2008

I think this game is great fun. I didn't have any problems with the hand controls at all as others have suggested. Yes, the euro-pop and voice over are quite cheesey but if you accept it for what it is and stop trying to be cool, you'll have a great time!
I think the dance mat is good quality and was pleased at its non-slip design.
This game is ticky however if you have a cat that walks over it as you are playing!
 Okay game, but disappointing. April 15, 2008

I'm a huge fan of the Dancing Stage games and have been buying and playing them since Euromix on the PS1 so I had high expectations of this latest addition and was very excited about getting it.
First disappointment for me though was that the hand controls are very inconsistent, sometimes they work but most of the time they don't. Fortunately though, you can turn these off and stick to the traditional feet only play so this wasn't too big a deal.
Second is that there are very few songs to begin with that have a decent number of bpm. You can unlock new songs but if you like faster songs then be prepared to play the same ones over and over again. The style of play also means that in order to unlock new songs you have to complete specific songs which is incredibly annoying as these are usually less than 100bpm and just rubbish songs in general. As I haven't yet completed the game I don't know what future unlockables will be like so this may improve.
Despite these problems it is still a fun game and definately worth getting especially if, like me, you can no longer play the old games because your PlayStation mats don't work with the PS3 ><
If you've been playing these games for a while then you'll probably find this one very tedious and annoying to begin with but from what I've seen, if you can get past that it should be pretty good. I would however, recommend this to anyone who is new to Dancing Stage as it seems very aimed towards beginners and does encourage you to try harder levels than you might do otherwise, I'm sure it would help you improve pretty quickly.

Bought this game for my 9 year old daughter But we are playing together having loads of fun and it must be making me healther. Lots of levels although the music isnt my cup of tea but my daughter thinks its wonderful If you are just after some fun i can recommend this.
I just can not see how any one can do the expertise level i just find it impossible but its fun trying I am going to buy an extra mat as im sure that will be really good fun challenging family & friends
Great fun, good exercise, though not perfect April 6, 2008

This is a fun game and great exercise.
The mat is decent, the sensitivity is good and it's large enough and durable enough to jump around on. It's a standard mat and a second mat will only cost a tenner- we've just ordered a second mat, as the game will definitely be more fun with two players, and our living room is just about big enough.
The game is straightforward. The menu system is slightly long-winded but it's easy enough to get set up and you only have to spend a few seconds before you can be getting on with the dancing.
Gameplay is nicely thought out- each song has four difficulty levels, beginner basic intermediate and advanced. Beginner is a good way of learning the game, basic is actually quite challenging for a couch potato like me. Intermediate looks very difficult and anybody who can successfully complete the highest difficulty level is on steroids, or has four legs.
There is a 'workout mode' where you can dance for fun and the game will count the time spent dancing, good if you know you want to do 15 minutes of jumping etc. Once you get above the basic level you can definitely get a sweat on with this game.
The hand controls are a problem- I can't get them to work properly, I'm not sure whether they're just very difficult to master or if they don't work properly. Luckily you can turn off the hand controls, put the Wii remote down and play entirely with your feet, which is what we'll be doing at least for now.
The music is mostly Europop cover versions of some pop and urban hits. If you're a shoegazing indie fan for whom the words "Eurovision song contest" start you shaking in sheer disgust, then for your own health don't buy this game. Yes it's fun but it's certainly not musically credible. I would have liked to have had a few more tracks to choose from, I think it won't be long before I'm bored of some of the tunes that're included.
There's a very annoying American voice that shouts "this is awesome!" and "this music is almighty!" at you during the game but luckily you can turn this awful noise off.
We bought the Wii for fun rather than serious gameplay and this is going to be one of my favourite Wii games for sure.
