I'm interested in DDR, but I don't know which one to get. Suggestions?

[Destroyer2000]

I have all three nextgen systems, so that won't be a problem. I'm sure that I will eventually get them all, but for now, which is the best to get? I love the Anime-like themes to some of the songs, and I liked the song (or it was a song from) 'Graduation'. I know that Graduation is a dating sim of some sort...anyway, back to the subject. What is the best DDR game to get?

[Kkun]

Get DDR Max for PS2. It has the best song selection. The newest is DDR Extreme for PS2, but it's just kind of blah...Max 2 for PS2 is good. I'd go with the PS2 versions though because you can get the cheapest/easiest to find dance pads for it.

Hmm...I suppose this is sort of on topic.
Are there any DDR like games for the GCN? It's all I own, but I love DDR and want to play it at home.

[Destroyer2000]

Thanks.
I've never seen a DDR for the GCN. XBOX and PS2, yeah, but not GCN.

[TrigunX89]

Same here. I don't know of any GCN DDR games.

Oh, and I would probably take Aku's advice, Destroyer.

[glitch1501]

if you have an xbox, can you download (stepmania)songs to the hard drive to play?

Well there's only one... which is Donkey Konga.

I've got DDR Max 2 for PS2 and it's really good, IMO. The only problem, my pad is broken.

I have Max2 for the PS2 and I love it. There's a lot of fun songs, and a wide variety of not only difficulties, but types of music too. I'll have to ask Gypsy what the other disc she has is called, because it's really awesome too.

[Destroyer2000]

Thanks. I'll have to check it out, then. The pads are a bit expensive, but...which one is the better to get? Metal or plastic?

[Raiden no Kishi]

Well, I would say metal, because they're more durable and more like the arcade pads, so transitioning from home to arcade is easier.

I just got a RedOctane Ignition pad. It's plastic, but with a thick foam pad insert. It's highly rated, but I haven't used it yet. And you don't have to sell your soul to pay for it, unlike a metal pad ^_~

I just checked on GameFAQs for some stuff...what is DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix? Something like that...there were alot of different mixes for various systems.

I've seen several cool looking dance pads, but I can't seem to find a metal one...I am assuming that Mad Catz is not the company to buy a Dance pad from? It's 3rd party...I do not trust it.

[Kkun]

If you have 350 bucks to spend, I'd get a Cobalt Flux pad. But, being that that's unlikely, I'd start with a 20 dollar pad you can find at GameStop or something. They're cheap and are good for beginners. Then, when you get worried about performance and getting high scores, go with a Red Octane pad.

I don't believe sony ever made a dance pad. I work at a game store and have not sold or even seen a Sony Dance pad. The only high end pad we carry is the Ignition pad, which is $100. I havn't had any complaints or returns of dance pads however, even our Mad Catz and even the Gamestop brand Dance pads sell rather well. ($20) I'll just let you know that the Gamestop brand pads are made by Pelican and then sold under the Gamestop name.

[Destroyer2000]

Thanks, but what about the mixes?

[desperado]
