It made me wonder why everyone was bitching about battle mode powerups when star power was already nudging it away from a rock off, but looking at the youtube videos I guess they managed to find something even worse.

So what you're saying is that you'd rather play DDR.


Dancing is even worse than GH3 battle mode.


Unless you are good at it of course. And you don't have the standard mindless hangup about being good at a thing that people aren't supposed to be good at (such as having cybersex, or being Zseni).

Myself, I am vaguely near the Fullofkittens camp here, in that I already know how to use a dance pad really well and I don't see much appeal in adopting a new rhythm game controller unless it's got some additional advantage, like say making music instead of just aping it. Nothing against aping it, that's clearly fun, but I've already had a lot of that fun. I mean Dance Dance Revolution has been out and iterating for a looong time, and also I wouldn't mind actually learning a real instrument and it would be sort of frustrating to just pretend.

So actually a couple of years ago I bought a cheap drum set and started taking lessons. And then I sort of drifted away from that for one reason for another... until I learned about DTXMania, a freeware clone of Konami's rhythm game DrumMania intended for the Yamaha DTX brand of electronic drums. A few hundred dollars and a few visits to eBay and Radio Shack and some music store later, I had an acoustic drum set rhythm game controller. I think that is a more interesting thing to be bad at than Rock Band. But I will probably try Rock Band and be bad at it too, at least a couple of times. Because video games are fun!
