Old players post here

So I've been reading a lot on here recently, and the consensus seems to be that DDR Max 2 (for ps2) is more difficult than DDR Extreme. Am I the only one that begs to differ? I've only been playing since Christmas, but I got DDR Extreme first and then we just got Max 2 about 2 weeks ago. I'm passing just about every 6 or 7 footer on max 2 and not on extreme. Personally I feel like the songs on Max 2 are easier (not to mention....is it me or are the songs a lot more fun on Max 2?). I've only passed a select few of heavy 6 footers and under on extreme. I think Extreme is much harder.

Is it just me?

I'm 21. I'm older than most people that normally play (mostly jr high/high school asian kids).

I don't look 21 though, I find it funny when security guards card me for the curfew law here (18 and under must be accompanied by parent or must leave at 9 PM).

I was on a machine one time and I was walking off with a beer in my hand and some guards were carding a bunch of kids in front of me and I happened to get caught up in the mix. And one of them says to me
'where's your folks at?'
'Oh, I'm here with my dad, Sam Adams =holds up beer=

OK, just want to say now that being and old DDR player is definitely fun because............

you get to take the train in all by yourself from out in the sticks and walk around the famous city for an hour then play DDR for hours and then get out and see the once-in-a-lifetime art installation in Central Park and then drag yourself back to your in-law's house and try not to move too much because your legs are so dead.


That makes a visit to the in-laws worth it.

AuntieM, I am so jealous that you got to see the Christof (sp?) installation in Central Park. I saw a news story about it just yesterday.

Slowpoke, More potassium or drink sports drinks after that much DDR/walking. I have on occassion woken up with calf cramps and those are no fun. Hope your legs feel better.

Thanks.. you're right, during the week when I play, I always grab a 32oz'er of Gatorade on the way back to the office... but tonight, between rushing for the train, and then rushing back out for dinner, I was at the mercy of the restaurant's soda fountain. Anyway, it feels fine now... it was pretty much just 15 seconds of agony followed by 10 minutes of discomfort, followed by 5 minutes of cursing about how old age sucks

I still can’t stop talking about yesterday!! Had so much fun!! My husband is rolling his eyes though
I had cramp on my legs too last night Not enough water.
Just came back from 30min weight workout at gym and now I’m off to arcade!!
My son said he needs to practice so he can play with us next time. I think he’ll qualify as old folks almost since he have more aches and pain then I do

Well, got back in the saddle yesterday with some excellent new accomplishments (see accomplishments thread if you actually care), but the old-person related thing is: I forgot that more exercise of the same muscles can actually ease away those lingering aches. So ironically enough, I now feel much better after playing for an hour yesterday.
