Dance Dance Revolution
I give DDR  crapily drawn brown circles.
Now I know that you're thinking "This is going to be the best article ever written"...uhhh...ok maybe not. Maybe its more like "This is going to suck but some guy in a ski mask is forcing me to read it for some reason"...that's more likely. Now that I've got my ski mask on, let me begin on the real topic here. DDR
The Basics
DDR is the arcade dance-craze that swept that country of mechanical intellectuals a while back. And though the Japanese are all insane anyway...they managed to pull this one off. DDR is by far the best arcade game out there...even beating House of the Dead 2 by a slim margin.
"Sure you say...anyone can dance to music when there are only 4 arrows you have to step on. Sounds pretty boring to me" There is no possible way that DDR could *not* be fun...
And it does start out pretty easy...one foot movement every 3 seconds or so...but then you try the next harder difficulty level and suddenly your doing 3 arrow combinations and moving your feet at a blur just to keep up.
And if the fact that you have to have almost god-like coordination to actually be good at this insane Made-in-Japan game, the J-Pop is actually pretty good, with an interesting selection of everything from Britney Spears, to O Fortuna(all sped up with a funky beat added behind them of course), and the fact that there are a *lot* of tracks in the game, each with its own steps of course. I believe that the latest edition has 73 songs in it, all of varying difficulty levels.
Whatever the hell comes after the Basics
What the hell am I going to write in this section you ask? I have no idea...so here's a picture of a DDR machine that is hopefully in an arcade near you.
A short one today. I'll probably write a longer one later...email me your article ideas here...so I know what not to write about.
