I started to really play DDR daily back in february 2004 when i bought ddrmax2. I was 17 and still am. I play it for fun. I like the feeling when i pass a really hard song. Sometimes i'll go to an arcade with a couple people and we'll play there for a little while. but thats not very often.

It's just a game...nothing more...nothing less. If 90% of the people on here realized that, it would be a better place...

started on 4th mix like 1 1/2 years ago
i play because its something for excersize (im not fat its good practice for basketball season). all my friends play soccer so playing ddr is the thing i do instead of that and its better because you can do ddr when you want its not like a practice where you have to go.

Started with 3rd mix way back when

I started playing on a dare, actually. A friend said something along the lines of "I bet you can't do any songs" while watching two guys AA song after song. I took him up on the dare, and played BBD. Passed with a C

Ever sine then, I have played about 3 hours per week at my local arcade.

My obsessed friend introduced me to this game, I was immediately addicted. Now DDR is a fun game and a workout. And a nice way to keep myself challenged and entertained.

DDR is more about the music than anything else. I used to play to get to the hardest songs, which I still do. What's more important to me now is just listening to the songs. I have burned a dozen different cd's of just DDR music. I have a lov mix, party mix, Naoki Platinum mix, mellow mix, etc. It's really all I listen to, and I hope konami makes more mixes just so I can get more of the music.

But I tend to avoid the arcade unless people I know are going to be there. Extreme doesn't have the best sounding songs. I have ultramix and all the songs at home, a friend stole max from me. What I really play is stepmania though, generally sticking to more of the fan made, non DDR konami originals (Kind lady future trance being my current favorite).

To me, DDR is a game. But in the last month I've become pretty dovoted to it. It is alot of my life, but isn't really my whole life. I don't think I'd be very sane without it. That's because it gives me somthing to get all my anger out, it relaxes me. It's like a dream for a person like me: Music, high speed activity, rythem, and I get to show off

.

I've been playing the game for almost two years now, not quite sure to tell you the truth. As for friends getting together to play, I only have one friend now that really plays as well as I do in the area. I know there are two better here than I, but I'm not friends with them yet, but as soon as I start junior high, I'm looking to ask them if we should start a team.

What makes me want to play it? Well first of all I'm addicted to it, second, I want to get better, and thirdly, It's just somthing that I can accualy be good at. It's just about the only thing where I become a 'fast' person.

That's basically it.

DDR is so much more than a game, its a spiritual experience that transcends every particle of my being into a better and happier realm..... nah, I'm just crappin ya. It is a VERY addicting game though and a good workout which is funny because I'm way to lazy to get out and do any sort of exercise or anything like that, but I can play DDR for hours on end.

I have been playing DDR for one year.
I play about 2-3 days a week nonstop for about three hours straight at our arcade. At home I play every chance I get. Age is eleven. I am hooked. What draws me to DDR is just the concept and the people you meet. DDR is my stress releaser!

Name- Dan
Playing for- three months
Started- At a friends house. I never had even heard of it, and have been hooked since.
Skill Level- Heavy, can pass most heavy songs except a few 10 footers and 9 footers.

Opinion- It's a game, never is going to be too much more. It's a good workout, but If i'm really trying to work out, I'll go wrestle,or run.

Reign- I have to say it... If it's just a game, and it's not that big of a deal, why do you hate shadowing? It's just a game, right? No need for a reply back, I just had to say it. (BTW, you're not forced to reply, this is a message board, you don't have to read my posts.)
