Re: HOME VERSIONS & HOMEPADS
Home version are "OK", but the home pads are just lame. I need to get a Cobalt Flux and fast! I can't stand not playing DDR for a certain amount of time.Wookie Wookie in the kitchen. Machoman is on a MISSION!

Re: HOME VERSIONS & HOMEPADS
Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone here can help me decide which pads to buy. I've had RedOctane Ignition pads for around 5 years, but one of them gave out the other day. >.<; I'd really like to buy a set of metal pads this go around, especially since I've taken to playing for at least several hours a day. I'm looking to spend around $300 or less for two pads of at least fairly high quality. Any recommendations?
Also, does anyone have experience with the Blade Lite or Ninja Lite pads found HERE? Those are within my price range, but I'd love to read a review on the quality of the pads! Thanks in advance!Comment

Re: HOME VERSIONS & HOMEPADS
ok.. we need some xbox games here people..
Ultramix for Xbox console:
Pros: It has a lot of songs from the arcade including healing vision and healing vision (angelic mix), max 300, dxy!, a few paranoias i cant remember which ones, dive, sweet sweet love magic, and i know theres many more but i dont feel like turning on my xbox and checking. theres some fun new songs too like castles in the sky and ready steady go.. they have good steps and are a lot of fun to play from light to heavy.
Cons(uh oh): well lets see.. the background is annoying, the dancers jumping around the sreen is distracting and the announcers voice is very VERY irritating. its like louder than the music and i hate it. the pads that come with it suck.. my suggestion for a pad is to get a $40 hard foam mat that looks like puzzle pieces that u put together and put it inside the mat and zipper up.. but it does slide with most carpets and all hard floors so if u want it not to slide is get a piece of griptape like on skateboards and fold it up and put it under there.. DO NOT DO THIS ON HARDWOOD FLOOR! IT WILL SCRATCH IT AND YOUR PARENTS WILL BEAT YOU SENSELESS.. TRUST ME ITS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE lol..
overall its a good game and i use this to warm up for a competition i goto every wednesday at a local bowling alley. (i hope my competitors dont go through the ulramix songs to see what ill pick.. shh its between us =) )
oh and btw.. the way to unlock max 300 is really gay u have to select roulette and land right on it.. but it took me like 3 tries to get it its not that hard.
i never played umix 2 sry.. so ill skip to.....
Ulramix 3 for Xbox console:
well... where to start..oh yeah..
Pros: well.. theres not many but.. ehh what the hell it has the legend of max and sakura... 2 pluses umm and it does have some original songs like daikenkai and butterfly lol and what else.. u can unlock himawari and brilliant R.E.D and there both new songs on supernova.. i use them for tourneys..(shh its between us again) and there is a really fun song called guidecca thats unlockable and has a 10 step oni that is a lot of fun.. ok my bro just walked in and called me a nagger.. (random) neways the online is a lot of fun but what sucks is u have to play on 1x for every song which makes me squint my eyes as i play.. and i use to take a card boardbox and half screen like on ffr lol. the last pro is that instead of having to unlock the songs theres and easy way to do it.. goto options then credits and there will be a little minigame where u just step on the arrows that come up one after another and all u have to do is step opposite of whats there..(for left arrow step right up step down etc.) and if u complete the first wave like that u unlock all of the songs including TLOM, guidecca, himawari, brilliant R.E.D, etc.
Cons: once again the ultramix series doesnt fail us by putting in gay backrounds and gay characters. i have to say the announcer isnt bad this time around but it gets annoying hearing "100 COMBO! 300 COMBO! YOU ARE SUPREME!!" its gay. but the new songs are really gay like rock lobster, mi alma, istanbul, and the gayest song of all time becides crazy in love is i just wanna live by good charlotte.. IT MAKES ME WANT TO STICK A SHOTGUN IN MY MOUTH, **** IT, THEN PULL THE TRIGGER!!! AHH I HATE IT!!!!!.. but becides all that its good..
overall the game is bad if your practicing for the arcade but it is good to get better at the legend of max..
never played umix 4..sry again.. but i have played....
DDR Universe for the Xbox 360 console.
Pros: ok there arent many but lets see what is good about it.. it has online leaderboards, some good new songs like tsugaru or-if-is mix, GO! by the famous DM Ashura, Grandolin, and HOT LIMIT, but thats about it..
Cons: ok.. i need a cig break before i type all this brb......
ok back neways it sucks.. the backrounds make the arrows literally lag.. like in every song.. and it has gay new songs with ****ty steps like 8-bit which is a good sounding song and i made an edit for it the night i got it. but theres other gay ones like dont play nice, bongo, and run it by chris brown.. gay.. not for ddr... chris brown+ddr= utter confusion of why u spent 80 bucks for ddr universe plus crappy usb pad that doesnt even work for stepmania. and another thing.. the online is terrible.. the leaderboards only work in a ranked match and NOBODY is ever in those and when they are they play like light. and the pad doesnt have a headset port so u cant request songs or nething.. and you cant tell if someone is playing pad or controller. i absolutely hate the game and others might disagree but from a person thats been playing ddr for 3 years.. it sucks.
overall the game sucks.. do not waste your money on this game save it for an itg2 dedicab XDLast edited by DaRkLoTuS666; 04-6-2007, 04:19 PM. Reason: cuz hoochan will yell at me if i double post =*(Comment

Re: HOME VERSIONS & HOMEPADS
In The Groove for Playstation 2(more like DDR vs. ITG but w/e)
A game developed by ROXOR in attempts to somewhat immitate Dance Dance Revolution, but making the game harder. They have mines in the game so when you step on them you lose a lot of you're life bar. They added harder steps(11, 12, 13's). And another addition is the fail at end option which allows you to play out the rest of the song even after you fail, but if my memory serves me correctly if you get 30 misses in a row you fail and the song ends, but you can manage to step before 30 misses right? Tired of trying to figure out the confusing DDR scoring? Well ITG has made it simple. It is simply a percentage score that you get instead of a big confusing number. The only thing confusing about itg is the ranks.. the have quad star, 3 star, 2 star, star, S+, S, S-, A+, A, A-, etc. If your coming from playing DDR so long this may seem confusing, but after a while it will make a lot of sense. Oh yeah and another thing.. You know that you can add marvelous timing onto ddr home versions but in the arcade the only way to use marvelous timing is in challenge mode or nonstop mode. ITG on the other hand.. they have "Fantastic" timing which is always there home versions and all arcades have it.
Look at it like this
DDR_______________ITG
Marvelous________Fantastic
Perfect___________Excellent
Great_____________Great
and i think its all the same from there.
And the last pro of ITG... you know when you play a ddr song and at the end u have lets say a 300 combo.. and most people are proud of their combo and want to keep it.. but on ddr it goes away after each song.. Well on ITG you can keep your combo unless of course you miss step and lose it. Ok i lied.. this is the last pro of ITG. You know how you can goto workout mode on itg and ddr games.. well if youre like me you take it easy on the home pads and give it all youve got at the arcade.. well ITG has a new feature in its dedicated cabinet machines.. with a USB flash drive you can save your name, high score name, screenshots of scores, and youre combo with a dinky little flash drive. but thats not all. It keeps track of how many calories you burned each day.. It's very neat considering you cant do that at all on a DDR machine.. the only problem is that DDR machines are everywhere you turn.. but ITG machines are a little bit harder to find so take advantage if you live near an ITG machine and dont ever let them get rid of it.
Cons of ITG:
The pads that come with the game suck ass. and thats about it
Overall, ITG is a great game all in all.. hell i took my itg game to my grandfathers house for easter and had my whole family playing it.. its great for family gatherings and has songs that people understand instead of jap crap songs on DDR that older people hate cuz they cant understand it. theres no flashy backrounds, annoying announcers, and crappy characters in ITG.. just straight up playing. So go spend 50 dollars for In the groove home version and have a blast! just make sure u get decent pad if you ever think about getting serious.Comment

Re: HOME VERSIONS & HOMEPADS
I have Konamix, Max, Extreme 1 & 2, and SuperNOVA. Soon I'll have SuperNOVA 2.
I don't like ITG. It's weird, DDR has way better songs.Comment
