What Parents Need to Know

About Dance Dance Revolution: SuperNOVA

Parents need to know that this game will get your teens and tweens up off the couch and moving. This series of games is actually being used in some schools to get kids excited about exercise. While you can buy the game without the dance pad controller and use the gamepad, it isn't recommended. Playing with a game controller eliminates almost all of the exercise benefits and is ultimately too easy -- and not as much fun. Some of the pop songs contain suggestive lyrics.

    Dance through the night!

    Okay, I...LOVE DDR. I've been a major fan since DDRMAX2. This game is absolutely amazing. There's an incredible number of songs you can unlock, and most if not all are diverse and very, VERY good. However, some of the dancers (Jenny, in paticular) dance somewhat provocatively, and Jenny is dressed in hot pants. That aside, this is a very good game.

    SuperNOVA does well

    Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA is a fun, challenging way to dance till you drop and get fit. Some of the dancers are innapropriate, though, for example, there is a girl who wears these really-short shorts and she shakes her booty way too much, and there is a lady that looks like she came from an island and she looks like she really wants to show her boobs. Other than some innapropriate characters, the game is awesome!
