You would have to check here to see if your adapter is compatible because some adapters won't allow the simultaneous button pressing like jumps.

I have no money at all, I basicly have to sell some games to even get this.
Is this alright just to start ddr with? Because Im buying supernova and it will be my first ddr game.

My cus has DDR and couple others for XBOX and PS2. I like this pad because ialways us it but it isn't the best you could ever use. I like the one that comes with the pack because it doesn't slide also it is a little longer and i am a tall person which can't really use a smaller pad. Also it is good if you have two of them because thay are easier to fit next two each other. So if u need a pad badly i sugjest this but if u don't need one don't get it plz get something better. Or at least something that doesn't slide as much!

so-so...

This mat is ok. It doesn't slip too much, but then when you get onto the harder and faster songs, it starts slipping and moving around like crazy! If you use this, then make sure you aren't too close to any other large pieces of furniture. Also, it can be hard to stay in the center of the mat. Sometimes you end up moving to the side and hitting the foor instead of an arrow! All in all, though, this is worth your money. It has great durability too!!!

this pad slides so much it gets really annoying!
it's okay for light songs, but its hard to get a good grade on standard with it.
the left and back buttons stick and stop working eventually.... terrible buy.

I love this dance pad! I got this pad back in early 2006 and it is still working great! I bought the game and pad for myself and shortly later, my son at age 3 took over! He figured out the dance patterns and buys(on the game) more dances to challenge himself! He literally dances everyday! My son has moved on to the heavy and challenge songs now and the pad responds great to his fast movements! The pad has been used by a kindergarten class, friends stomping on it, adults, grandparents, even our cats have walked on it! For all the dancing we have done and more to do, this pad has been wonderful! I bought another dance pad so my son and I could dance together! For only $20, what a great purchase we have made! Great exercise and FUN, too!

We got this pad so that my hubby and I could dance together instead of having to take turns. The pad worked great for about 2 days. On the third day the back button would stick on occassion, by the end of the day it had quick working entirely.

It was a great pad love it, however after using for a while I don't know how long the back stuck on me and it wouldn't work at all. So it became a worthless pad because the back arrow wouldn't work. But other then that I loved this pad.

recommended for a starter

I just got the dance pad today and im getting another 1 tonight its great to begin with it just slides a little except on heavy songs it slides quite a bit I recommend it for a starter so good luck with it.

decent for the money

I bought the dance pad with the game, and after I wore that one out after three months of serious playing (light, then standard, and heavy), I bought this one. It works well enough, and for the low price, its a good deal. The two complaints I have with it is that it slides (that is until I converted it), and the neutral area is really small, which has caused me some problems.

Buttons stick, mat slides

Owned the pad for 2 months, works fine for light songs. In Standard, however, the back and right arrows stick and the pad slides horrible. Very bad buy. Button is permanently stuck, pad is useless.

I have owned the original Konami, a Red Octane foam pad, and a gamestop dance pad. Konami's soft pad was great, but they have stopped shipping them with the games. My Red Octane was not my favorite, as I would fall off the raised edge, and in the end, the thing broke... Now I have had this pad for a good month or two, and even while playing 9 foot Heavy songs, there is very little slipping and arrow responce is awsome. Highly Recomended

It's worked for me

I've had this pad for 7 months and I have had alot of fun with this pad. The one thing I love about this pad is that it doesn't bunch up. It does slip around though which is a problem on harder songs.

Sometimes the right arrow sticks, but the reset button does wonders on that problem. I can pull off AA's on Standard songs, but I just can't do heavy well with this pad. I should upgrade, but I don't have the cash. This pad has done me well and if your going to start out (and don't have wood floors) then this is a great pad.

coooool!

I heard the blueshark from mymybox is the best right now.

im getting this one

[Insane_Dreamer]

NEVER get Soft Dance Pads off eBay.
Even from legit Sellers.
Heck, don't get Soft Dance Pads period.

I bought one for $37.
A couple of weeks down the line, and now I can't hit Up whilst holding Down or hit Left whilst pressing Right.
So if I've come off a Left move, and I go to hit Right with my other foot while still standing on Left, it doesn't register...
It's not the Software.
Just the Pad.
(If anyone has any ideas on what to do, PM me...)


Anyway.
Don't buy 'em.
If you honestly want a Soft Pad, get one from a Real Life store.
Not the internet.

I envy anyone with a Metal Dance Pad.
-sighs-
I wonder if my local EbGames would trade it in for something near what I paid for it....

Go Cobaltflux, I have "One" and "It" "Is" amazing.

I love it with all of my two feet's heart.

You should check out the bluesharks, they are even better.

For soft pads I've tried the Red Octane Ignition pads. I had a 2.0 that lasted me a couple of years before the down arrow completely shut down on me. I'm going to look into the Blueshark soft pads because I've heard a lot of good stuff about them.

For hard pads I've tried the Red Octane Afterburner and the Cobalt Flux. Out of the two I think the CF was a lot better. It's very durable and it lasts a lifetime. Again I've also been hearing good things about the Blueshark hard pads as well so I might be investing in them pretty soon.

[kylehaas]

Sorry, but I think the BLUESHARK pad looks cheaply made... XD

[ARMSBot101]

Are those $80 foam RedOctane pads any good? I don't got money for a metal dance pad.

what, lol, your crazy

[t0ni]

Got my blueshark, tested an unknown pad first, pretty good. Then the shark, it was soooooooooooo better. So I bought it. The unknown pad was a Cobalt Flux.

[SethSquall]

Looks nice man. Make sure you get back to use with your user review =D

[rel89]

It's lame that the Mymyblox blueshark pads only work for ps2s.
It should come with cords for all systems.

I am new to DDR and stuff, and when I was playing my friend's DDR game, the pad slid and made it hard to play (it was the original pad that normally comes with a game). Being a beginner I would like a decent deal, with a game and pad, but obviously not a crappy pad. I was looking around the internet and found this: DDRGame (Multi-Paltform Super Sensors Energy Non-Slip Pad w/ DDRExtreme 2
I'm not sure if this deal is good or not, but that is probably the price I would pay for a game and pad.
Please tell me what you all think and if you have had this pad, PLEASE give me your opinion!
(I know I want the game, don't tell me to get SuperNOVA because it is newer...I will get it eventually.)
Thanks.

yea i have seen those types of guides and i must say, they seem easy or something but maybe getting the items lke the wood and the wires might be a bit hard. i usualt just buy a nice deal on some metal ones online using ebay or something like that.

Ok thanks. I was looking at the RedOctane and did a little research. Some reviews and product trial comparisons stated that the RedOctane Ignition 3.0 Dance Pad and BNS DX Xtreme Fusion Dance Pad are a lot alike (however I found the DX cheaper). Is this the RedOctane Ignition 3.0 still better?
