We recently had a chance to review In the Groove for PS2. In the review, written by rampage, we find that although ITG is a very fun game, it is not without flaws.

Is there a way to go back and edit the text for potential grammar fixes? I noticed a few things, but "wan't" really jumped off the screen at me, so to speak. laugh.gif E15.gif

Heh, woah J Dogg, today marks the third year of you being on the DDRFreak forums!

On another note, in the review it showes what the songs are for ITG2... Maybe someone should add that this review is also a spoiler? I didn't know it was going to mention the songs and I didn't want to know what they were until I had unlocked them... Oh well I guess, I'll be seeing the full songlist at Funworld anyway in 3 weeks.. >: )

I 2nd daandrew18 on the spoiler alert. Other than that, no complaints, esp. since I got to the review after the grammer probs were fixed. Very well rounded review. Props to rampage! E4.gif

At least I can take it with me, not wait for it to copy and install AND create its vast amount of cache files, and pop it into a widely-seen console.

(For reference, my post was aimed at Plenty Atrophy. Unfunny piece of shit webcomic.)

Which is even more obivious considering that the copyright on that comic is 2003. Oh, and for the curious, the original strip was a commetary on Apple's iPod.

About the review, I 50% agree with it, half of the songs are good and some aren't. but, the load times are a little more slow than DDR and has glitches (you've might read the story about that.)
BOTTOM LINE: if you're a hardcore dance freak, get ITG, if not, wait for DDR extreme 2.

3.5 out of 5 for me.

Most of the songs are gold, IMO, in fact there's only one I'd cut from the list if I were the all-powerful goddess of ITG. Just a matter of taste is all. As for extreme 2...meh I am not holding my breath, Extreme 1 was sort of a let-down for me. The only thing getting me all hot and bothered about Extreme2 is the inclusion of "Un deux trois" (a song from a japanese PS2 version I love).

The load times on ITG are a smidge long but in the grand scheme of things five seconds doesn't get my panties in a twist. Maybe that's because I haven't played many games besides DDR since the days of 30-second loading screens and longer, but oh well E1.gif then there's always marathon courses.

I really can't gripe too much about the music. Most of it is really good. KeeL is an amazing musician and all of his stuff is really good. My main gripe was that I felt there wasn't enough variety in songs.

honestly.. ITG was one of the best games i ever spent my money on.

The song list is awesome, graphics are stunning, the load times don't exceed 8 seconds.. so you guys need to STFU, not like any one uses TOP GRADE anyway, this almost exceeds DDR...

Its the best HOME GAME i've EVER boughten.

DDR, IMO of course, is still better in the arcades.

but.. my best wishes and hopes to the RoXoR team and to RedOctane for giving us this.

Thank You.. i've been playing ITG for hours now.

and I rarely notice the censoring
