Packed with an entirely new soundtrack, new game modes and interactivity--including the ability to import your Mii on to the dance floor--DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 enhances the series' trademark interactive gameplay by combining the physically engaging, innovative and easy-to-pick-up-and-play mechanics of the Wii platform.

Although loaded all the familiar mat mashing DDR fun, in utilizing the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 also brings new moves to the floor in the form of Hand Gestures and Gimmicks. Hand gestures require players to keep time to the rhythm of songs, beyond the step pattern they dance to, by shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuck. In effect this adds a third dimension to the traditional front to back/side to side gameplay, resulting in an even more full-body experience. In addition, if players so choose they can also up their difficulty level through Gimmicks. Through these players can briefly alter the game's UI--for example delaying the appearance of on-screen arrows--forcing them to rely on their rhythm instead of screen prompts and in the process pick up major bonuses. Key Game Features: - All-new soundtrack includes smash-hits from the last 4 decades as well as Konami originals, boss battle songs and videos.
- Dance mat included with game.
- 1-4 player support.
- Cool new modes and features:
- Your Mii can now be incorporated onto the DanceDanceRevolution dance floor.
- Brand-New Gimmicks, such as the Minimizer, add to the next evolution in DanceDanceRevolution gameplay.
- More Wii mote interaction in the Dance n' Defend Battle Mode where players use Wii mote movements to beat their opponents.
- Nonstop dance action with the new Course Mode, various set themed song lists that players dance along to.
- Unlock hidden features in the Groove Arena Mode as you battle your way to the top of this new venue.
- Learn real dance moves and practice the same routines as the characters from all different angles with the brand new Hottest Training Mode.
- All new DanceDanceRevolution characters with new outfits, exclusive to Hottest Party 2.
- Enhanced motion capture will be applied to all characters for increased realism and customization.
- New stages with enhanced effects, with more than 50 unique dance environments.
The New Hottest Training Mode
Finally, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 also includes a new lesson track system. Unlike the tutorial tracks in previous releases that relied heavily on text explanations, here players new to DDR gameplay will enjoy both video and audio encouragement and direction from their own on-screen instructor. As "left,right"…"front, back" etc. are called out all dance floor newbies have to do to place their feet accordingly on the mat and there you have it. You've joined the DanceDance revolution. So, whether you are new to the DDR universe, or a master of the disco ball, get ready to become the life of the party, the Hottest Party, with DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 for the Wii gaming system.

 Fun, fun,fun, 'til your mama takes the wii away |

| O.k. so negative first. I didn't care for a few songs and music videos. Of course nothing is perfect. That being said I (at almost 48 years old) LOVE it! My twin 13 year old daughters LOVE it! I only got the one mat but when one is playing the other stands beside her mimicing the moves.I even do that standing behind them. The girls didn't find the controls hard to understand but didn't like the hand movements so shut it off. Personally I didn't mind it. We refer to the expert mode as maniac mode because only someone with severe hipperactivity could do it perfectly. We horse around and laugh alot so aren't freaked if the score isn't perfect. If someone does this for weight loss I am positive a half hour of fast songs could easily burn between 300-500 calories and would tone legs nicely. Have a water bottle on hand if you plan on a non-stop "work-out". When I think of DDR 2 I'm "walking on sunshine ohh ohh and don't it feel good"! |
Dance Dance Fun

I love the Dance Dance Revolution series and this title fits in with the rest. The songs are not current, so if you are looking to rock out and jump around to techno versions of current songs, you need to look somewhere else. The only semi-current song is Umbrella by Rhianna.
But the songs on here are recognizable, they are pretty classic disco/techno songs that work just fine with what the game is for.
The mat leaves somethings to be desired, but then you can't really expect it to be like the big bulky metal ones at arcades. It does move becuase it is just a sheet of plastic, oh well, you deal with it.
I am glad I bought this game and I am having a great time with it. |
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

| This game is way too hard for the average enthusiast. My two children 7 and 9 and my husband and I are definately not coordinated enough to do this. However I think if you have tried and like the arcade version you would like the home version as well. Probably more geared towards teens/twenty somethings. |
Good for the price

| Home casual player. Fun. Little hard for old fat body. NutChunk sensor seems not work very well. If more songs from different countries would be better. |
Awesome!
