The premise behind this game is that the machine plays some lame music and pops up a bunch of arrows on the screen and you're supposed to correspond to the arrows by pressing on the arrows with your feet, thereby "dancing" to the beat. It kind of reminds me of a giant simon game but instead of colors and beeps, you have arrows and god awful music. The machine also says wonderfully witty things like, "You are too cool!" and "You are styling!" It also has some crazy looking anime-like characters dancing up on the screen along with you.

No one can play this game without looking completely ridiculous. It's almost like watching your friends do karaoke. They get up on a stage with bad music and do a funny little performance for you. I personally like to watch people while they play this game and see them concentrate ever so hard on getting that move down pat so the machine will reward them and let them know just how cool they are while the rest of us laugh and think that person is a total dweeb.

No, I will never try this game. And yes, I still get the right to mock it even if I haven't tried it. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's not lame.

While trying to find an approiate photo to go along with this review, I just found out their making this game for the Playstation.

Yeah, you read that right.

Oh yeah, let me spend $50 for a stupid pad and $30 bucks for a stupid game so that in the comfort of my own home I can look totally foolish and practice my mad dance skillz. Maybe these mad dance skillz will help me to pick up some hot men who will be oh so impressed by my slick moves that they will immediately want to take me home and have sex on the doorstep.

Yeah baby, if I couldn't find a reason to own a Playstation then THIS IS IT. I gots to get me the skillz, yeah. Hook me up. Then please shoot me.
