DDR Hardcore [#4]

A few days ago I finally found a game I had been looking for months- DDR Hottest Party for Nintendo Wii. It seems thateverywhere I went, this game was sold out. I was in the mall with my friend EmeralDQueen, and we happened to stop in at EBX, a fancy version of Gamestop. I asked if they had the game and one of the guys replied no.

As we were about to leave, all of a sudden a woman replied we have them in stock, we just got some in the other day. She asked the other employee to bring it down from the shelf, and when I heard how much the price was, I was a bit in shock, as I was just short of 89 cents to buy it. EmeraldQueen said she would pay for the 89 cents, and she did- with her debit card. That was quite a funny moment.

Anyways, when I got home I immediately wanted to play this game. It was my first official Wii game I had purchased (Wii Sports does not really count). I popped the disc in and noticed that there were not many options at all. In fact this game has less modes then DDR Ultramix 1 had. But hey, its a Wii game. What I did enjoy was trying to shake my Wiimote and Nunchuk along with the beat, as there were arrows for them as well to. But I got tired of dancing with my hands and feet, and decided to use a controller. I had to make due with my Gamecube controller, as I have yet to get a Virtual Console controller. It was funny playing with the Gamecube controller, as it has a strange button layout.

Anyways, the song list in the game is actually very good, with many of these songs being very modern- such as Lips of an Angel by Hinder- but its remixed which makes it even cooler. There is 50 or so songs in the game, and I would say its probably my favorite track list after DDR Ultramix 2 and Universe 2.

What separates this game from its Xbox games is that there are no video clips- instead you pick a dancer and they you see your dancer in different stages,depending what level you are on in your career mode- Which actually is pretty cool.

Take a look at the entire song list! Gotta love the Love Shine Remix! ^_^

Overall, the game itself is pretty good, even if there is not so many options.

What are your thoughts on DDR Hottest Party?
