For me DDR and ITG are tied. I've never tried PIU, but I would like to.

Konami created it (DDR), RoXoR perfected it (ITG), and we should all respect them equally.

ITG's the best hands down. It has the best music, best graphics, best gameplay engine, best challenge, best pretty much everything. DDR is pretty fun, but a lot of the songs I never want to play because they're far too easy or bland. I played PIU once, and all I can say is that stepping in the corners is awful.

Hm...

DDR Graphics and songs
ITG2 Songs
PIU (New to this game)

I like all 3 if thats okay with you all.

Depends if I like the songs or not in those 3 games.

I haven't played PIU long enough to make an informed opinion, and honestly I haven't even played all that much ITG. ITG works better than DDR as a competitive, high-level game (which explains the players, obviously better than I am, who contend that ITG is better "hands down" - apparently hands DO make a difference in ITG >_>), but I play dancing games for the music and the great stepcharts, which ITG sorely lacks. There are snatches of good songs, but there's very little variety to ITG's songlist, and the licenses meant to spice the game up are only mediocre. Moonlight Shadow is excellent (though on DDR as well), but I don't care much for Charlene - and even that is one of my favorite ITG songs - and Bambee's Bumblebee isn't as good as 17 sai, and overlaps with DDR anyways. I like DDR's more varied and better licensed songlist better. Perhaps a technophile would prefer ITG, but with More Than I Needed To Know, Kind Lady, La Senorita, Exotic Ethnic, and Sandstorm among DDR's numerous songlists, there's no contest for me.

In terms of stepcharts, we're talking the difference between Healing Vision's bland chart and Utopia's terrible one; the great, fluid Spin the Disc stepchart versus Charlene's decent but repetitive counterpart. Comparing DDR's Drifting Away heavy to ITG's Drifting Away hard, you have to wonder whether the Kyle Ward actually noticed you're facing the same direction throughout the entire piece - perhaps he was trying to give Phrekwenci's term "ETS syndrome" a new name (and K. Ward is one of the better step artists!). ITG's greater crime, though, is the lack of stepcharts I will return to over and over again - charts like I Was The One and Xenon singles and Be In My Paradise doubles that are just fun to do. There is no chart in ITG that I will play again and again. And that's why I'll pay the movie arcade a dollar for a round of DDR and ignore the 30 cent ITG at a nearby nickel arcade.

IMO, ITG's 9 footer Hard charts are wonderful (especially Monolith).

Well, it's funny that when you talk about songs in DDR, you name some of the worst.

Trust me, there's NO stepchart in DDR I would play "over and over again."

Anybody that rags on Pump hasn't played it enough to truely understand it. I played DDR for 6 years before I encountered PIU and now its all that I play. Everything about the game makes all other dancing games seem like an afterthought to me.

The music is far superior in terms of sound quality and in terms of variety. There has yet to be a single person that has seen me play that doesn't like the game because of the music.

Graphically, the game outshines everything and anything that any music game has ever thrown out. PIU:Zero has the best interface and the best looking gameplay ever.

Stepchart veriety is what gets the big vote now. There aren't 2 Pump charts that are alike. Andamiro puts such a focus of the charts that it really makes it shine over any other game. The added bonus of a focus on Doubles play really gets you moving around and offers so much more as a game than any DDR I've played. Also, the way the arrows are arranged feels so much more natural than 4-panel.

As for my feelings on ITG, I don't like it. Asthetically, it is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. The music (mostly) sounds alike and pretty much caters to those who like synth-techno or other variations of the same. The only thing I give ITG props for are clever use of mods during marathon courses. I had a lot of fun playing the Driven course and I had a pretty good (although, frustrating) time playing Caddywhompus.

Go find a PIU:Zero machine and give it a chance. You'll like it, I promise.
