Review Summary

Dance Dance Revolution Universe as the title suggests is a dancing game. The most important upgrade in Universe is the new HD graphics.

You can step left, right, forward and back on the included dance pad controller, monitoring your steps with arrows that pass by the Step Zone at the top of the screen.

    If you've never played any of the Dancing Stage games, it's well worth a try - but don't buy the Xbox 360 version. For the same money you could pick up one of the old PS2 games and two mats. Or, best of all, spend a very happy afternoon down the Trocadero. Read more

Whether you're a DDR fan who's fine with getting more of the same or a 360 owner looking to get some rhythm action, DDR offers a little something for everyone, and it's a good... Read more
