Home version just as satisfying?

[Akisoma]

I ordered a dance pad and DDRMAX2 online. I enjoy it, but many say it is not as great as the arcade versions. Would you agree?

I was thinking of training up at home, and then giving everyone a show in public. I would be mortified to even attempt a song in public as of now.

As well, would you say it gives you a better workout, with the arm bars and what not? Easier or harder?

It's about 50x easier than the arcade PA wise.

I beg to differ. I hadn't played on a machine in over a year (I'm a console player) and I found my PA a lot more better than what I used to have.

I like DDR MAX better...It has more techno songs like PARANOiA and Trip Machine, but MAX2 has too many of them girl songs (not like i have a problem w/ girl songs).

The arcade versions, better, like Extreme, more songs, but home versions are good too.

Home definitley doesn't satisfy me as much as arcade. I compare DDR to a drug addiction in this respect. You can do recreational, illegal drugs in your home, taking the cheaper, easy-to-find kind on a regular basis. But even real druggies still prefer higher quality, more expensive, rarer versions of the drug of their choice. And so it goes with DDR, for me anyway.

i usually only play at home cause i dont like spending money at the arcade unless im with friends.

i threw down the cash for a redoctane pad, and it's well worth it, if you know youre going to be playing/practicing at your house.

I would prefer to play at an arcade (unless the pads are really horrible) because I actually enjoy letting people watch me, even if I screw up. Home versions are great for practice and satifying the random 'I need to play DDR' thoughts I get. I would say it's even with home & arcade but, that's my opinion.

I've played seriously in both arcade play and home version play and I prefer the home versions. Even when I played in the arcade a lot, I wasn't one of those people who plays to "show off" or "so some girl will think I'm cool." I play the game simply because I like it and I'd rather play in the privacy of my own home. Also, playing in the arcade is sometimes just too competitive for my liking with comparing AAAs and SDGs and such.

I only play arcade because I use DDR as a social tool.

If you just have a craving to play DDR at home, like I did when I first got the game for PS1, it's pretty satisfying. If you want to work on your skills, though, I wouldn't say it's very good. My skill is nothing special, but I'm definitely worse at the arcade than I am at home despite having played the home version for year. But like I said, if you're just dying to play DDR at home, it'll serve you well, I think.
