roughly $2500. New brainbox, new set of stickers, new marquee, and more come with it (along with a very idiot proof step by step manual too)

Where can you download the songs for ITG(for Stepmania) or get stepcharts for it? I'm really interested on how hard the songs are, because I've heard so many people say that ITG has alot harder songs, and are for people that want a harder DDR...

Well, the expert steps are harder than a lot of DDR songs, for sure, but there's still Easy/Medium/Hard, which is about on-par with DDR's Light/Standard/Heavy. So it's not JUST harder.

| Yes it does. There are plenty of 2-footers on ITG. And it doesn't have a useless Beginner mode, which is good. |

Hell, the Japanese were surpassed by both Columbians and North Americans alike at DDR anyway, that argument does not have much relevance. Also, the legality of it has been settled, they would not sell a $2100 kit if it was illegal.
Also, the songs rock. The music is much better than DDR and it doesn't have that stupid happy shit I hear in every single fucking DDR game like Freckles or Can't Stop Falling In Love or Memories or other generic trash like that. All you people still orgasming over Extreme need to broaden your horizons and get more open minded because not only are the steps, both hard AND expert better and a lot more fun than ddr's heavy/challenge steps, there's a lot of features and types of music you won't find in DDR. Let me repeat what I said, the hard steps are a lot more fun than DDR's heavy steps. Yeah so what if it's not DDDRRRRR and doesn't have your fucking old songs that have been played out to hell and are boring. The same old ass 8 footer songs only go for so long and ITG is going to keep making mixes with NEW songs that DON'T get old because it's AMERICAN. I don't think you people realize how much of a difference this is to the game's productivity and future. Why do you think PIU can even keep going like it does? Because it has an American branch. It being American means they CATER to the DDR player. Unfortunately you people are being closeminded pricks about everything, not giving it a real chance. I don't care if you played it for 30 minutes or once or whatever, you're still being closeminded because it doesn't have some stupid DDR song you like on there. Mines are fine, you just have to get used to them like you did with freeze arrows. When DN2k5 (old name for it) comes out you're probably going to diss on that too even though the music on it rocks. As for freestyling, the music is a lot more of music you could actually dance to OUTSIDE OF THE GAME, and well the steps just determine how you freestyle (i.e. look at PIU, the freestyle charts are made for people to do actual choreographed routines to them)
DDR is not going anywhere, so ITG is the closest thing you'll get to a new DDR. Extreme has been out for TWO YEARS. Give something else a chance for crying out loud.
ps warning points lol |
Eh, I know this is kind of an old post, but I'll comment on it, anyway. My perspective on ITG was that it was going to be a really crappy game, a "ripoff of DDR" as it were. However, I actually went and played the game, and it is REALLY awesome. I find that the more I play ITG, the more DDR just seems, ehhhh, wrong to play. For those of you who have already played the game, and don't like it, then that's ok, but for those of you who haven't played the game yet and are already making judgements, at least give the game a chance, trust me, it's not that bad.
Also, for those of you who have problems with the mines, pretend that you are stomping a sensor in the middle of the pad, and it'll make things go a lot better, as the mines go along with the beat.
Ionno why I commented on such an old post, I guess it just kinda felt like it, for some reason. Well, have a good night, everyone.

Uh, yes it does.
In DDR, you couldn't just pick "light mode" and expect a consistent level of difficulty. Highs Off U is a 1. La Senorita Virtual is a 7. ItG also has a range of difficulty on easy mode... but does that matter? The hardest songs on easy in ItG are 6s (Bend Your Mind and VerTex). There are a hell of a lot of 5s and 6s on light in DDR (MAXes, PARANOiAs, lots of stuff from 3rd Mix, etc.).
There aren't many 1s on easy in ItG, but that's because there aren't as many songs on ItG as there are in later DDRs. When I got started on a DDR 3rd mix korean, there were probably about as many songs as there are on ItG, and only three or four of them were 1s. ItG has around ten 1s, and that's not even counting training.
Hell, unless you count Beginner Mode, there are probably more 1s on ItG than on DDREX. There's plenty of room for newbies to get started on ItG, and with something that actually tries to teach them the game, no less, as opposed to just a mode with easy steps and overly general instructions in Japanese. ("When the arrow hits the top, step on the panels!" Well that's helpful to someone who's never played before... a little.)
Do the math.

The simple math is DDR = first song on light mode you can just about fail and still pass, the same cannot be said for ITG.
Also on DDREX the first song allows for more misses then usual, which also can't be said about ITG.
...  a drunk monkey is sooner to pass a song on ddrex then on itg |
you pass your first song on easy on itg as well, PLUS on ANY song, as long as you don't get a 30 miss combo, you can play until the end, where on ddr, your bar is gone and the game is like SCREW YOU HIPPIE FAIL 
As another unrelated topic, how many people posting things here have actually played it in the arcade...just wondering?

you pass your first song on easy on itg as well |
And there's training, which is TWO songs long and you pass automatically. | DDR1guy wrote: | | Also on DDREX the first song allows for more misses then usual, which also can't be said about ITG. |
I'm not sure about that. If they did so, though, I know why: To make things fair. That way there's none of the crappy arguments about "I passed MAX300 on my first stage!" "You didn't REALLY pass until you passed it on final stage!"
And, like said earlier, you can't fail the first stage on ItG if you're playing on easy, so the point is moot anyway. | DDR1guy wrote: | | a drunk monkey is sooner to pass a song on ddrex then on itg |
And that drunk monkey knows more about ItG than you, too.

| I just played the game today and I think it is pretty awsome. Really innovative with a cool scoring system. |

I have read a few things about ITG in Chicago? any truth ?
Also, to the persons affiliated with ITG on this thread, are you open to music submissions ? I have some songs that i have recorded that could work well with ITG. |

About the first, check machine locations on ITGfreak, about the second, go to roxorgames.com and check out the forums and offer some stuff up in there, they might not need it for itg2, but i'm pretty certain they don't have everything for itg3 ironed out yet

|
|
I'll start by saying I've been an avid DDR fan since 2nd mix and have become quite good, to say the least... Okay, when I first walked up to the ITG machine, I was thinking, "wtf!? Another rip off!?". Then I played it. One word sums it up: w0w. ITG is exponentially better than DDR in almost every way imaginable. The songs are better (and I love A LOT of DDR songs ie So Deep, [all] Paranoia tracks, MaxX tracks, Healing Vision, trip machine tracks, Drop Out, Follow The Sun, Flashdance, Matsuri Japan, Tsugaru and many, many more) plus there are far more varying genres in ITG, the mods you can put on the steps can be insanely hard and there are a lot of them, the battle mode is absolutely fantastic. Battle mode requires two players. There is an attack bar you must build up by stepping accurately. When it is full, you release an attack, which puts a random step mod (mines, spinning, waving arrows etc.) on your opponent for a period of time. It's really fun and competitive.
ITG is, like others have said, supposed to be there for us real DDR players when DDR is dead and gone. ITG offers just what we need: Something new but still familiar in the dance game genre. This is by far the best dancing game I've played. I know where my roots are. But DDR has nothing to offer me now (except a fix of my fav DDR songs). If you are a true fan of DDR and aren't some cocky eletist fooling yourself into thinking Dance Dance is the only dance game for you and you have a choice of which game to play and have any taste, there is no reason not to make ITG your new dance game. I mean, why eat azz burger when you can have filet mignon?
*edit: ITG isn't geared towards amatuers, it caters to serious, seasoned DDR players. So everyone can stop complaining that ITG doesn't have enough easy songs. It does, however have training.
*edit2: DDR has been dead to me for almost a year now. I just don't have fun playing anymore (it's just stale). The only time I do play is when there is someone to show up or show off to. I play ITG as often as possible (it's brought the fun back into dance games for me). The dynasty that WAS Dance Dance Revolution has crumbled and ITG is here to sweep away the mess.
