Interestingly, this game has become "classic" in such a way that not many are still playing it. Maybe because of the new-born direct interactive platform like Wii, but this game was the first- i think- to involve direct body movement by players. Played by stepping on directional arrows on the playmat, players have to use their bodies, or at least their active feet to play this, interesting game.
I find, yes still find that this game is pretty amusing. The songs as far as I can remember from season 1 were great, remixes were done quite tacky and ... nice. I can still remember that I was trying very hard to master the 6 stars song after trying out the super-easy Boom Boom Dollars. And yes, that is one reason why the game becomes more than just moving your ass up and down the mat.
Players will be graded after they finishes a song, with either D,C,B,A,SS. SS means super perfect and for many, the aim for playing the game is to get SS for every single songs, including those that will twist your feet around. There is a degree of challenge here.
Next thing too is how the game becomes competitive. Players can choose to play with another players and compete in who gets the higher score. When this is played in public, it can be really competitive and challenging, not forgetting you've got to have a really thick skin to jump stupidly, trying to step on the correct arrows.
Well, many people think the game is stupid, yes it is but it is quite fun when you know how to play it. It was a really hip game almost a decade ago but I just find it interesting on how such genre of game has developed to what it is today.
