Dance dance revolution is an original game that cannot not be matched in its genre. In my past, I must have spent over a couple hundred dollars playing it in the arcade. I brought a dance pad with me to santa cruz and hadn't had a chance to use it but now it has served its purpose-- to prove to me that the game is better in the arcade. Because of the button sensitivity and the pad sliding on the floor, my accuracy was way down. Normally i would be able to double A songs like rhythm and police on heavy mode, but instead I was scoring Cs and Bs,
The songs were mostly unlocked but lacking in the ten step department. I had to play for the first hour just unlocking new songs to play.

You need to write some discussion of the actual game design, not just describe the game.

I do not have a way of messaging you on this website, but I did talk about the game design. I feel that you guys only notice my game design discussion if I actually use the words "game design" together. I also believe that these game logs are intended for us to discuss our experiences playing the game along with the game design.
In this log, i discussed the design of the pad, the design of the song unlocking system, and the genre as a whole.
I also mentioned the scoring system.
If this is affecting my grade, I would like to discuss this with Jim Whitehead.
Thanks

Would you believe I've never played this game in the arcade? Only on a dance pad...for my PSOne. :-(
