Gameplay

Just as in earlier releases in the franchise, DanceDanceRevolution is a multiplayer Dance / Music / Rhythm hybrid game based on the original Japanese arcade classic of the same name. The game is packed with a blend of licensed popular and classic dance tracks, as well as tracks created especially for the game by game developer and publisher, Konami. The player's goal is to keep time with the precise rhythm of each track as they are queued by on-screen arrows that scroll up the game screen from the bottom. The top of the screen is the "step zone" - four static arrows pointing left, down, up and right. As the scrolling arrows pointing in one of these directions makes contact with like arrows in the step zone players indicate the correct direction and duration, again in time with the song. The more accurate you are in doing this, the more points you score, with even more points available as simultaneous arrow combinations occur. Success also maintains your life bar, while a poor performance decreases it, eventually leading to the end of your turn if the bar is entirely depleted.

Typically rhythm input is done with your feet using the DanceDanceRevolution dance pad - included with this bundle, but DanceDanceRevolution for Wii also includes support for the Wii Balance Board and Wii Remotes/Wii Remote Plus (both sold separately). Use of the Balance Board basically mimics that of the controller mat, only without the stomping. Use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk allows for the game's "Choreography Style Mode," an integration of hand and upper body movement, which can be added to standard four direction gameplay, as well as an expansion of the the game's multiplayer possibilities, now without the mat controller. Additional features include: unloackable tracks and outfits for your onscreen character, motivational challenges, tutorials and a variety of coop play options.
