What Parents Need to Know

About Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

Parents need to know there is nothing objectionable about this game, and it will even get kids off the couch and moving. Good for GameCube owners, but if your child is already a Dance Dance Revolution aficionado, don't buy this title. It's for beginners and will be too easy for them.

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 4.0

    The hard level+ Bowser = NOT EASY!

    I could fail that level as soon as I started.^^; However, DDR: Mario Mix is a great way to work out and have fun. Anyone who can read well and step on arrows can play this.

    It's okay

    Mario and DDR was an alright idea. It was okay, the songs are pretty good. I give this a passable score because of additions like being able to beat up enemies with dance moves and the minigames that are added to it. What brings it down are the lack of songs and the fact that all they are is remixes of old Mario songs, nothing original except for the second-last song, which I'll admit was the best one for being the only one with lyrics. Mario and Luigi are the only good dancers. Everyone else just sucks at it.

    Boooring.

    Just buy the REAL DDR. It will last a heck of a lot longer than this easy, waste of money.
