DDR X Video Game Reviews

Silvercube · Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 3:26 pm Post subject: DDR X Video Game Reviews

I did not exactly see a thread for this, so I made one here.

I wrote up a review for DDR X. It's a pretty honest one that I hope will help you in deciding if you want to get this game. Just keep in mind I mainly play DDR on 360, which is why I rated it lower. [Would be higher if I only own a PS2]

Here is the link:

Enjoy : )

P.S. If you wrote your own, feel free to post a link, I will read them when I can

Yeah, but IGN also gave Beatmania US a shitty review for not being Guitar Hero.

I think it's hard for IGN and other reviewers to actually get the point that you don't have to add 10 new types of arrows or modes to make a game fun.

Seriously, CheatCC gave HP2 a 2.9/5 because they wanted even MORE arrow types added from HP1, sheesh.

Funnily enough, they gave X a 4.1/5.

"Party mode promises the potential of online play, but good luck finding opponents (I couldn't)" Why does everyone think party mode=online

i doubt theres any hardcore DDR players over at the ign office, and really DDR X is a pretty poopy mix for a non-DDR player. and stop saying "lol they'd give guitar hero a better review," because DDR used to be ridiculously popular over at ign. They gave Konamix and MAX a 9.5 and 9.3, respectively. DDR has just lost a lot of its thunder in the past 5 years, and to be honest its most likely going to stay that way. Eventually, Guitar Hero will go the way of DDR and people will stop caring. The problem is companies like making as much money as possible while the can so they make multiple mixes each year and people just get sick of it. Guitar Hero is a series that's at its peak right now and id say its about time it goes down.

I'm willing to bet GH is dead after its 5th release and RB after its 3rd (or possibly 2nd).

hmmmm i have a feeling guitar hero will just be a phase however rockband will fade away as well i got to admitt though the new ddrx wasnt a xtremely cool as we thought, i have a feeling that ddrs peak has past but at least konami can try to make a good ddr soon a good idea would to be is have konami try making a suggestions page on thier website where ddrfreak and other us ddrwebsites put in thier ideas of what a good ddr game should be like before they start the next one so we can let them know what are good ideas and what should not be in there

guitar hero is already well past its 5th release. Lets go back in time and take a look!

Guitar Hero
Guitar Hero 2
Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s
Guitar Hero 3
Guitar Hero On Tour
Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Guitar Hero World Tour
Guitar Hero On Tour Decades

in 3 years theres been 8 guitar hero games.

as for the franchises dying, thats rather unlikely. I'm guessing they'll stop losing a good amount of their mainstream popularity next year, but the loyal fanbase will stick by for years to come. Look at DDR. It's no where near as popular as it used to be. I remember back around 2001/2002 DDR first hit the US and it was all over the place. Game Reviewers went crazy for new DDR mixes. If you were good at DDR, you'd get huge crowds of people surrounding you in awe. Yet today, DDR still lives on and still has its hardcore players. GH/RB will be the same way.

I was actually being sarcastic, but whatever. I honestly could care less what IGN thinks of the new DDR games since most "professional" game reviewers tend to be biased.

I find that many game reviews tend to be focused on two goals:

-Introducing new "types" of games, however glitchy.

-Deglitching and rebuilding of a game, for it's sequel.

After that, many reviewers couldn't give two squats less about the actual playability of a game. If it's a "it's not broken, why change it" - like many DDR games are, they get modest-at-best reviews. If you want a really good, killer example of this, check out reviews on The King Of Fighters series.

On rare occasion, a developer will kind of drop the ball on a sequel, or implement a badly-constructed idea... and that will be the killer; such as people begging for mines in DDR for 4 years now, and now doing the shock arrows. See also: Spider-Man 3.

You can't "like" a game because it's new. You're confusing that focus on the game because you just bought it and you want to concentrate on seeing a bunch of stuff before life stops you.
