What DDR song is this?

Jenesta — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:07:58 -0800

I am trying to figure out which Playstation 2 version of Dance Dance Revolution has this song with this backdrop. There are these white bunnies that jump out at you on-beat at one point. In other parts of the song, there are rams with candy cane horns. This is about the best I can describe since most of my concentration is directed towards the scrolling arrows. :)

Can anyone remind me where this song is?

DDR without Japanese Pop music?

What game system has the best Dance, Dance, Revolution array of games if avoiding Japanese synth-pop is a priority? I am researching a belated Christmas gift for a DDR-fanatic: I'm open to PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii, so there's a degree of backwards compatibility to add to the accounting. Does anyone with experience in these matters know which set of games have the most interesting music? Alternatively, if one of the systems has good online addons (where you can purchase songs online, I think?) with a Euro-american dance music bent, that would help too.

How can I turn DDR: The Hottest Party (for Wii) into the main activity in a get-your-fat-butt-off-the-couch and move around routine? I'm recieving a Wii for xmas, and went over to play DDR on it at a friend's last night- I'm hooked like crazy. However, I know the calorie burn count is kind of low, and I'm looking for ways to make the workout a bit harder while I dance. I know DDR won't be the sole activity in any excercise routine (at least not an effective one) but it's as good a place to start as any. Please, hive mind- tips or tricks for making a DDR workout a little more effective!

How Can I use my Xbox Dance Pads on my Wii? My wife and I have 2 foam Xbox dance pads that we really like, but we want to play Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii. I can find PS2 to Wii adapters online but no XBox to Wii. Does anyone know if any such thing exists, or have any other solutions?

Dance game for GameCube?

We have a family GameCube and the kids want a dance game. Apparently Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix will be unavailable in North America for several months, and when I go to Best Buy and look at all of the stuff I feel old and confused. Could you suggest a good GC compatible dance pad (that I could pick up retail) as well as DDR-type titles for the GC so my kids can get happy? Thanks --chris

Dance Dance Revolutions... Quietly

I'm considering trying Dance Dance Revolution as a way of tricking myself into exercising more. I have two specific questions that I am having difficulty finding answers to:

1) Can you play it in a second floor apartment without being a bad upstairs neighbor? If yes, any specific techniques or tips?

2) Assuming yes to 1, anything I should know about using a pad on top of carpet? I've seen recommendations to duct tape it down, etc., but this sounds a little extreme (not to mention ugly).
