Pump it up is the Korean equiv to DDR

It was requested in another post.

Pump= 5-panel "DDR" using K-Pop songs made by Andamiro.
The panels consist of four diagonal arrows and a center panel. Just imagine a DDR pad, but where there's metal, there's a panel, and where there's a panel, there's metal. confusing?
There's a video/photo page here:
http://www.pumpxtreme.net/multimedia.html
It's different enough to not consider it a "rip-off" of DDR, but I don't like it as much, but other people like it better. Just don't knock it til you try it.
Konami finally won the lawsuit over the PUI machines, so Andamiro can't make any more and must pay royalties from what I'm told.
Something I heard: The 1st pump machine, Andamiro took a DDR machine, threw away the pad, made a new one, installed a Windows 98 OS in the cabinet and run the program off of a computer inside a DDR machine.

Actually, that's what I like about PIU. It makes the steps seem more like dancing than DDR. There's more Jazz squares and real dance stuff going on...

Doubles on a PUI machine are a nightmare. The difficulties on PUI go far and beyond the difficulty of most DDR songs, but most of the simpler dance charts, like what Chakan2 said, make for good freestyling.

Well, i am back, from a one week cruise in the carribeans. I played pump it up (in mexico... go figure) and if you have never played it before, or if you are used to ddr, pump is hard as a bitch!!!

I started my dance craze with pump. I like FFR just for something to do at work. If I have to get something with an actual pad and all that, I'm going with PIU.

Yo nestlekwik you are wrong about the lawsuit. Konami lost it and piu machines are still being made. The judge said that piu is different from ddr and therefore is not breaking any laws and is allowed to be made.

I know about that one, but there were multiple lawsuits pending. The issue is not stemming from the gameplay itself, but the way PUI machines were orignally created. From what I understand, the very first PUI machines utilized DDR cabinets with a modified pad and ran off of Windows 98. I guess "won" was a poor word choice because Andamiro dropped some pending lawsuits in the U.S. and U.K. from what I've been told. It's been so long ago I don't even remember half the stuff that happened in the lawsuits Perhaps my sources were faulty?

I was play PUI about the time i started DDR, but i think PUI is not so much fun, too repetitive. It is harder for sometimes, but once you have used to it its easy.

personally, i dont like pump it up. i havent played it nearly as much as DDR, but i got the chance to play this past summer. it's weird going from DDR to it, but i adjusted alright and could do medium level songs. some things i hate (or maybe i just dont know how to do stuff) is u cant change difficulty from song to song, i dont like the songs in PIU, the fact that u have to hit 3 things at a time, u have to use the arrows to navigate the menus, ITS NOT DDR! from how i see it, which one u like depends on which one u started with. well, there are some exceptions to that rule, but thats what it seems like to me.
