When you play DDR U3, we use dance mats. The game is songs in the world on a game and you get to dance on them! The thing you use to dance with is the dancepad. I’m sure dance fans need a game like this!

I bought a Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 before and like it very much. Therefore, I decided to buy another one. This game turned out to be a huge disappointment. The music in this game must have come from two and/or three decades ago. If you want to dance on the latest music, this is not the one to buy.

This game could be decent, but the designers dumb everything down. From the cheesy bubble graphics that compose all of the backgrounds to the quest mode option, this whole game reeks of a sellout for the corny childrens appeal. Whereas Ultramix 1 featured a clear, concise menu system and an organized song selection process, Ultramix 3 has a select bar so huge that only the song or option being selected at the time can be seen. This makes it extremely difficult to find any of the songs or alter any of the options.
A second aspect of this game that makes it inferior to Ultramix 1 is the song content. While Ultramix 1 featured techno dancing songs all the way through, Ultramix 3 goes for the crowd appeal by including old, semi-popular songs that are horrible for higher level players. Any young children or middle aged people that enjoy listening to the songs over the dancing may enjoy this, but for an experienced player the content proves surprisingly dull.
Yet another aspect of the game that could deal with fixing is the timing system on the steps. Maybe it’s just the pad but the arrows seem to be a lot more time-precise on Ultramix 3 than in Ultramix 1.
The one redeeming factor in this game is the addition of Sakura and Bag, but this is hardly enough to justify creating an entirely new game and selling it.
If at all possible, I recommend skipping this version entirely and buying Ultramix 1 with the song packs off of X-box live.

I’m probably older than the average player but I thought this would be fun. Turns out the graphics and sound effects get very annoying and distracting. The music is good but all those extra noises are annoying. The graphics are also terrible by Xbox standards. Overall we just played it a few times and now it hardly gets played at all.

This game is awesome. My whole family loves it and it is a great form of excercise for all ages. Even though there are not too many well known songs it doesn’t hinder the fun of it at all. All the songs are up-beat and my kids want to play it daily – which is better than just watching t.v. all day, right? You gotta get this game!
