Game Revolution: Dance Dance Revolution X Review

Game Revolution writes: "I proudly live up to the Chinese American geek stereotype: I once was the president of the DDR Club at my university. I have played Dance Dance Revolution since 2nd Mix at the arcades, I have competed in an official DDR competition, and my specialty is improvisational freestyling – creating steps on the fly to arrows I either haven't seen before or don't remember. But I'm not the president of the DDR club anymore, and I have no desire to go back.

Dance Dance Revolution X continues the ugly trend of DDR titles going on and on (and on) without doing anything significantly new. It's been wincingly difficult for me to see one of my most beloved series needlessly prancing along the line between respected franchise and money-grubbing shovelware. It makes me wish there was a "Dynasty Dance Dance Warriors Card Battle Extreme" just so I can't see the bar go any lower. (…I shouldn't have said that.)"
