Not quite what I expected but good all the same [Posted on 2008-06-08]
Not quite as much fun as I thought, but that could just be me. There were too many options and I just wanted to play and go. Would have been nice if the music could have just been played on its own instead of always having to have the game load. Be careful when you open the package as the chemicals used on the mat made my head spin. The smell was awful, I had to leave it outside for a couple of days for the smell to go, not sure how healthy that smell is but it gave me a very bad headache. Even now I have to shut the mat away in a cupboard as I can still smell the chemical faintly .... I think the company should look at that aspect of it especially if children are in the house.
Having said all that, the game is fun and worth getting. Maybe a second hand one where the smell has already gone!

Great Game with Great Music [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I ordered this for my daughter's 13th birthday. She enjoys the Dance Dance Revolution game at the video arcade, and I hoped this would be close to being as much fun for her. It is! I'm so delighted that the pad works well with the arrows and is sensitive enough to register her dance moves. She has already enjoyed many hours of dancing. I don't count it towards her "computer time" since it's such terrific exercise. What I love about this game is the terrific Christian music. Many of her favorite artists sing the background music, and there's no lyrics that make me wince. (Unlike Dance Dance Revolution songs!) My 9 year old son is also enjoying the Beginner level. The levels seem appropriately difficult, when compared to how my children do on the Dance Dance Revolution game at the arcade. I'm a bit astonished that this game works as well as it does, for such a reasonable price. What a bargain!

GREAT, but... [Posted on 2008-07-26]
they need to make this game for the consoles! (PS2, PS3, XBox, Wii, etc etc) Who the heck wants to dance to their tiny computer screen? It is great fun, I would so much rather my kids play this than Disney Dance Revolution (much better songs with a much better message), but I do not like having to hook it up to the computer. They are missing a huge opportunity, let's hope they get on the ball!

Awesome game and great exercise! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
I just got this game from Amazon less than a month ago to use for exercise and to stay out of the Texas heat. It is great! You get to choose your song, the level of difficulty, and mode of dance you want to do. There are songs by Jeremy Camp, Toby Mac, Pillar, Day of Fire, Superchick, Zoegirl, Red, Relient K and more... all recent songs, with a great beat. I've played it almost every day since it arrived and I always work up a sweat and yet it is so much fun I want to keep playing. The pad moves around quite a bit on carpet so you have to re-adjust it between songs. It comes with sticky pads if you want to put it on a hard surface to keep it from slipping but they don't work on the carpet. I installed it on my iMac with the 10.5 Leopard operating system. It doesn't say it is compatible with this but I made it work anyways. Here is what you need to do if you get it and have trouble with the install. When I put in the disc to install it said I didn't have the previous game version and that it would create a folder for me. It put the folder called "Dance Praise" on my desktop. It then said I could install the game, but it kept giving me an error message. So I dragged the "Dance Praise" folder from my desktop to my applications folder and then tried to install it and it loaded right away. I haven't tried it on a PC but it only says it is compatible with XP not Vista so keep that in mind.

Does NOT work on a Mac computer!! [Posted on 2008-09-07]
I was very disappointed with the performance - or I should say NONperformance of this item. Even worse was the fact that my 11 year old granddaughter purchased it with her own money & she was really disappointed that it would not work on our computer. I went so far as to take the game to the computer shop and the owner loaded it onto a Mac with far more capability and it still did not work properly.

I feel very strongly that companies which manufacture these so-called dual function games should make sure they do, in fact work correctly on both pc's and Macs. I assure you that I will never buy another such game! The only reason we did not return it is that my granddaughter can take the dance pad to her cousin's house and they can play the game there. (on a pc)

That still does not make it right. The whole idea of buying it was to play it at home. And I certainly cannot buy a new computer just for that purpose!
