It's not like Eye Toy Groove AT ALL!

PPP is a PARA Dancing simulator. It's a dead dance in japan, thats about it. You dont just wave your hands, you do some weird routines.

I played PPP once but didn't really like it. For hand games I'll play Dancemaniax.

If parapara is dead in Japan then why are their clubs still hosting parapara nights and releasing videos with routines on them. Just because it is not as big as it was 3 years ago doesn't mean that it is dead.

i agree w/ fighter....and besides, Para Para is actually making a comeback....

but to stick w/ the topic question:

Para Para is a japanese style of dancing which developed in the 70's w/ disco. It does mainly consist of upper body movements, but some leg movement is also involved in some songs. Basically in a nutshell, its like linedancing but every eurobeat song(the genre para para is mostly danced to) has a specific routine that was choerographed by Para Para night clubs and they are taught @ the night clubs themselves. And the game is a simulator of the dance, because as you dance along to the routines on-screen, your arms go over the sensors of the special Para Para Paradise controller.

Instead of asking so many questions on just the basic game, try it out first then come back and ask any questions you might have.

Yes, it seems you are already taking an aggressive stance towards a game that you've never played.
Like Ix3 said, that's how the arrows are stationed. You are surrounded by sensors (only the front work I assume). If an arrow reads up.gif (sorry I can't use ur arrows Ix3, I'm kinda in a hurry), then you stick your up in front of you. I'm not sure how the exact hand motion goes, but you don't HAVE to know how to para para to play the game. Heck, I just throw in wild arm motions and I seem to do really well, although it's best to freestyle to it. Anyway, the only complaints I have about the game is that it (the one we have) is limited in song selection. But otherwise, I enjoy it and it's definitely a great game to play while waiting for the DDR line to go down.
PS: If you're homophobic, you might want to watch someone play the game before you play. People tend to think it's a little more... happy than ddr.

TemporarySpastic lives? I havn't seen a post from you since 2002!

How can you say a game is gay, when a video game cabinet cant have sex, or sexual preference?

So just because it's girly means it's homosexual? Some of you need to grow up.

You do realize that outside of Asia and CA, PPP is a very rare game, right?

And yet your not showing the pink machine. Geeze, people need to grow up. Pink and purple do not equal gay. It doesn't have sex. It could be girly, but not gay. Do other male PPP machines ram other PPP machines in the buttocks?

I suggest to anyone who is interesting in locating a PPP machine near them should log on to www.paraparastage.com/forum, register as a user and go to the Locations thread and ask where the nearest PPP machine is from *insert city*....the ppl on those ofurms are very nice and would be glad to help you out finding one.....

All aboard the overreaction wagon.

Seriously. The first instance of the word gay in this thread comes from YOUR post.

Furthermore, he said a homophobic person might want to stay away. Now, I'm well aware of the definition of homophobia. But think about this for a second. You can say that colors can't be gay, and I'll agree with you. But I'll be damned if I don't run into a homophobic guy who hates pink and purple, or is at least uncomfortable with those colors. The colors themselves may not be gay, the motions themselves may not be gay, the cabinet itself may not be gay. But the fact remains that a homophobic person may be averse to playing the game, simply it's because what he would perceive as gay.

Did Fr0sty call the game gay? Nope.

Call it a problem with society, whatever. Whatever you want to do, just calm down. People are way too apt to jump onto the "HOW CAN X HAVE SAME SEX TENDENCIES??!??!" defense.

Because, I mean, if we're playing the overreaction game, I can start saying that you're not respecting the sexual preferences of those males who have been raped by other males.
