Anybody heard of a dance game called Urban Dance Uprising, its from the guys who brought us that oh so stinky piece of cheese "Get on Da Mic".
I saw it on gamespot

Everybodys getting on the dance game bandwagon, I hope it doesnt kill the mainstream audience. Even if it doesnt tank (Of course it will) Konami is going to sue Ubisoft , because the preview images right now look vaguely like DDR.

First Madcatz Mcgroove Dance Beat, and that Country western Dance game thats suppose to come out now this a hip hop/rap dance game
When will the madness end!!!!

No one else should even attempt to copy ddr or itg, because it's gonna suck! That pisses me off when there are dance games other than ddr itg or piu

lets agree to disagree, everybody.
Theres DDR and the wannabe DDR lookalikes.
Some lookalikes are good. MOST are very bad.
Anybody like the game Get On Da Mike? The guys who are making this game made Get On Da Mike. Which I have and can say without any doubt sucks, and is a Karaoke Revolution Wannabe.

What I meant to say was that, KR was the same as Get on da Mic because they use singing in the game. I know that KR doesnt have rap.
Im glad it does not.

hip hop, rap whatever I kind of bunch it up in the same catagory.
Im really not into that genre of music. But its not the music thats the problem its the gameplay, and the way they use the music anyways. Play it and you tell me if its bad or good. I happen to own that game, it may not be as bad as Britney Dance Beat or MCgroove Dance beat but Its no gem either. I do like beat type games and I own that game, along with alot of others some good, some bad.

Doesn't look too bad if you like Hip Hop music.

Not everyone likes dancing to Love Shine or Breakdown.

I always felt that DDR could use some more hip hop, rap, and R&B. I'm just annoyed that this game will only be made for the PlayStation 2.

Ooh, this game is gonna have Eric B and Rakim and Kurtis Blow on it? That's actually pretty cool. I'm a big fan of hip hop from the early 80s to the early 90s, stuff like Eric B and Rakim as already mentioned, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5, Run DMC, NWA, etc. Songlist, though, is only part of the equation of course. If the stepcharts are poorly done (MC Groovz Dance Craze, anyone? No? No surprise there), then the best songlist in the world is useless. Should that be the case, I suppose I can fall back on Ultramix 3 with Run DMC and Blackalicious.

The following is a personal review after playing FLOW:

PROS
Features tournament mode where 3-8 players can battle it out in a championship, breakdancing, 100 challenges

CONS
Songs sound similar, songs seem to be close in bpm, game takes a while to load graphics, O button is confirm and X button is back (which I found to be an annoyance), arrows are black, eighth beats are dark red, sixteenth beats are the color of the preceeding beat arrow making spacing a factor to read not arrow color (which takes some getting used to)

Song List
Cipher
C-mon Y'all
Cake
Taurus
I Remember
Dueling DJs
Waterworld

Gameplay
Arrows scroll, hit them with the beat and you character busts out some amazing skills, miss a step during a backflip and your character falls on his head. I like the way the dancer responds to how well you do. For people who like 8+ feet on high bpm songs, you won't find it in this game. The steps were not all that challenging, but freestyling with the eyetoy option might be fun if I had one.
