Hi, I am a potential DDR game player. I have just lost 51 lbs over the course of a year, and I am interested in adding fun exercise to my life. I have been looking up DDR as an option. I don't have a ps2, and I am old (33) and I haven't played a video game since pacman.

Please tell me what I should buy! I am checking into used ps2's on ebay. Which game versions are best for beginners?

Thanks!!!!

[FortyTwo]

For PS2, you should probably get Supernova, or Extreme.

Or you could by a pad compatible with USB such as the Red Octane Ignition or Afterburner and play pad packs as well as DDR sims on Stepmania from your PC. There's also In the Groove for PC, but you'll have to look on Ebay if you wanted to buy a copy, since they don't make ITG anymore =[.

It's all pretty much up to you.

hello. i'm new here. this forum looks fun and friendly, so i'm looking to make this my new home anyways, on to how good (if you can call it that) i am a ddr:

i can do mostly any songs on heavy mode, but can only get A's and B's, so i'm not that great. i'm here to just chat about ddr when i'm not playing and looking for technique help for when i'm trying really hard to beat a song. i'll try hard to give advice too, but like i said, i'm not totally amazing

You're a lot more amazing than me. I've been playing DDR for 18 months and I'm still stuck mostly on Beginner and Light . Sigh. Hopefully in a few years I'll actually pass a song on Heavy.

Hey hey hey. New kid. Woo!

I'm not all that new. I've played DDR for over seven years, but I'm just new to the forums. I started a new job working the night shift for IBM and I've been getting bored. So.... Here I am. Yay. Go me. *Waves a little flag* I'm also a fan of IIDX and ParaPara.

Hmm... Yeah, that's about it.

MaryAnne, I strongly suggest you DON'T get SuperNova as your first game. Personally, I find it extremely annoying as the unlock system is terrible, especially for a beginner. You should get MAX2! That was my first game, and now I'm passing 11's on ITG! MAX2 has a simple unlock system (the more rounds you play, the more songs you get ) and the songs are perfect for a beginner. Once you can ace all the songs on Heavy, it's time to move up to ITG, or maybe SuperNova.

Wow my sig got messed up.

[Pyro90X]

Well my Opinion for a first DDR game would be Extreme 2 if you can find it. It seems that DDR games from b4 seem to hiding or something. If you cant find it then max 2 will be good

I just joined here. I am a 23-year-old male, 6'1" and 167 pounds. I own DDRMAX2 and Supernova, and sometimes play ITG at the arcade. I don't play much double, though.

Since the Supernova grading is dodgy I'll speak of MAX2 grades here: I can AA most songs up to 6 feet, some 7's and two 8's, both on MAX2. I've passed quite a few 9's, mostly on MAX2, a few with B's. I haven't passed any 10's yet, but I've made it to the pause on MaxX Unlimited as first stage. Some 8's have taken me several tries to pass, too. I have one AAA on a 4, but my PA actually gets worse below that. My best MA on Supernova is about 70%.

My record combo in any way, shape or form is 2,228, which I got on DDRMAX2 Endless Mode, Standard. I have a few 300+ combos on single songs.

Hi everyone! I'm a 27 years old German girl, living in Boston, MA for the next three months.

I have been playing DDR/ITG since 2001 but had to pause for 2 years because of an injury. I also play IIDX a lot - well usually, don't have my PS2 with me here. At home I also played PIU sometimes because there's a machine in my home city, but I do not like the songs.

I'd like to find some other players from the Boston area, so feel free to say hello or drop a pm.

[misspiggygirl]

Well, this is a little late but im egg1111115, but my real name's Jason but probably no one will call me that. I'm 15 and im turning 16 in november, which is perty cool i guess. i first played ddr last march, but i hated it so i didn't start really playing until like last january, and now i can do most heavy songs including a few 10-footers.

oh, and if anyone asks about my name, it's a kind of long story. i originally was egg15 a few years ago on some other sites, and i wanted to make it my aim screen name. oddly enough, that was taken, so i got really PO'd and put a bunch of ones, and it stuck

the egg part is another story altogether lol
