System Requirements Windows:98/ME/2000/XP Mac:OSX 500MHz CPU 100MB HDD space 128MB RAM 8X CD-ROM DX 9 compatible sound and video USB ports for connecting the dance pad If you like Dance Dance Revolution and Veggie tales this game is sure to please! It’s got the Veggie Tale twist with over fifty silly songs to dance to. Dance Dance Dance uses the Dance Praise engine but I must say it’s very well polished and looks better than the original Dance Praise in my opinion. Like Dance Praise, the arrows still go down instead of up.

What Dance Modes are there?

For all the Dance Modes there are four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and expert. Of course there is the standard dance mode when you dance to a song, keep your life bar up and get scored at the end. If you want more of a challenge, try the Arcade mode. In Arcade Mode you have score increasing and decreasing arrows. There are also bomb arrows that if you tap on them, will cause a cloud of smoke to appear and make it harder to judge when to tap the dance pad. So in Arcade Mode it is okay to miss certain arrows. For those wanting to lose weight there is an exercise mode, in which you can set a goal of how many calories you want to burn, or how long you want to dance for. Finally the most challenging mode depending on how mean the leader is: Follow The Leader. In this mode, the leader makes up dance moves for the other person to do. If you just want to listen to the music there’s a sing along mode, which is cute.

Graphics/Interface

The interface is pretty easy to maneuver and use. There’s a helpful announcer to explain everything to you. Many of the game elements look the same when it comes to the song selection. One feature I like is the Tune Into You mode, which chooses and adjusts song difficulties depending on how good/bad you do. The Dance Pad configuration is pretty handy and easy to use. I like how you can see the song lyrics in the background. The Dance Pad itself is unique and very colorful.

Sound

This game is all about music and this game will not disappoint in this area. It is great to see a DDR game where you do not have to worry about sexual or drug overtones in the songs. This is an ideal game for kids, church, and youth group gatherings. The music quality is good and it uses a proprietary song format.

Bugs

I can say from experience that this game does alt-tab very well so if it does get interrupted you can go back without any problems (other than a lower score if you got interrupted during a song). One other complaint I have is that this game doesn’t disable the screensaver, so if you are having a long dance session, it will get interrupted.

Final Thoughts

Overall I’m impressed with this game and would recommend it to any Veggie Tales or any DDR lover. There’s a good number songs to dance to. This game retails for $49.99 and that’s including a dance mat. You can buy the game at many retailers including Covenant Games
