DDR Shenanigans

Dance Dance Revolution has been around for a long time - but I've just found out that there are actually many different "versions" of DDR. Check these out:

Just a friendly game of regular DDR - oh, I dunno, maybe easy level or something:

Hard to stay on your feet? Maybe adding hands will help. Here's Freestyle DDR done by a guy who goes by the nickname "smidget" (hm, that you Robert?):

If you can't do it, maybe it's because you've got two left feet. The obvious solution is to try one-legged DDR:

Still can't do it? Maybe it's because you need a partner, like the Japanese:

... or the Koreans:

All that jumping will probably induce a myocardial infarction in old, out of shape fat guys like me, so why not try something "easier" like finger DDR:

That reminded you of your carpal tunnel syndrome? Mad that you don't have the skillz to play any of the DDR versions above? Feel like hulk-smashing something? You're in luck:

Now here's something for me: Dance Freaks, where you flail to win! (Added 7/13/07 - Thanks Joe Felice!)

Still can't DDR? Maybe it's a matter of motivation ... Here's something that will surely motivate the heck out of you: Dance Dance Immolation, where a wrong move is punished by a flamethrower! (Added 7/13/07 - Thanks Ed!) | Dance Dance Immolation website - Thanks Richaard!

The second and fifth video's are actually Pump It Up. The difference between PIU and DDR is that PIU has diagonal arrows and a center step, while DDR only has the vertical and horizontal arrows.

Has anyone seen any video's of that crazy dance game that has steps in all directions? I saw it at an arcade in Vegas but never had the guts to try it.

Don't leave out Dance Maniax and Dance Freaks! In these great games you wave your hands over infra-red sensors.

I feel tired just watching. How much time and energy do these guys spend on the machines? I bet if one of their moms asked them to do something at home they wouldn't pry their buts off the chair.
