Story Mode: Much needed improvement!

[garymatic]

The thing that DDR needs most is a better story mode. For the past years, story mode has meant complete mundane missions, only for the purpose of unlocking more material. Why cant story mode be a 3D walk around environment? You should be able to use the Dance Pad arrows to control your character and walk around a town or scenery. Then, you could walk up to NPCs and challenge them to a dance battle! A 3D environment is not hard to make, besides, every single other PS2 game has one! I think it would not only make DDR more entertaining, it would be a VERY great investment for Konami. Isn't it time for change?

Hey, nice idea man. Sounds pretty good although don't exactly know how the walk around would be, other than that, awesome thinking

Probably because they know most players end up ignoring quest/story mode or begrudgingly play it because it's the only way to unlock certain things. They probably don't want to invest a lot of time/money into development? A 3D environment wouldn't be hard but it would be more effort/money. Plus it means more precious disc space would be used for graphics instead of songs.

(At leat I have never been a fan of these modes, so this is the embittered opinion?)
