 great and fun to play July 4, 2008
I enjoy playing this game! This Disney edition is actually more challenging than the regular DDR game that I own. If you or your child(ren) are fans of the Disney Channel shows, then you'll enjoy dancing to familiar Dinsey Channel songs. The only problem that I had with this game is that the arrows on top are very light (I prefer the top arrows to be darker so it is clearer to see when the arrows moving up reach the top arrows in order to better time when to step on the dance pad).
fun and good exercise February 28, 2008

I am very pleased with the dance pads. You just have to be careful when putting away. After a month one of the pads has a slight tear in it. Overall it is alot of fun and great exercise. The kids and I love taking turns with them. Even my 3 year loves it too.
 Fantastic hit with the girls and it's for TWEENS not adults!!! February 23, 2008

This was a HUGE hit with my 9-year-old and her friends! This features songs from Hannah Montana and High School Musical, as well as other songs from current tv hits on the Disney Channel. Also, the scoring system is easier for kids to comprehend than the other DDR products (SuperNova, etc.), which are geared towards adults.
This product is clearly geared toward tweens, not adults! I'm not sure why the reviewers before me all failed to grasp that from the packaging. It is for tweens who love Hannah Montana and High School Musical, and it is a great DDR product for their age group!!!
Also, just to comment on another prior review, the one with the suggestion that it should have included music from "Cars" and other Disney classics -- this is clearly marketed to the tweens that dance around and sing to Hannah Montana and High School Musical, and it's NOT intended for 5-year-old boys who watch "Cars" and "Lion King"!!!!
Fun. February 21, 2008

I'm not sure if this has happened to other people but when I tried to load this game with a generic memory card it would get stuck while it's trying to read the memory card. When I switched it to a PlayStation brand memory card it worked fine. That's the first time I've seen that happen. Other than that it's a pretty fun game and unlike the other DDR games I own, this one, my daughter can relate to better. We have lots of fun and also get a lot of exercise playing it.
 Good for newbies, not for DDR masters February 19, 2008

This game is clearly aimed at introducing younger kids to DDR. Its Disney theme and overly-cute look will draw in Disney Channel fans who are new to DDR, but hardcore arrow-stompers (like yours truly) may get bored quickly.
This game was developed by Keen Games, not Konami. There are a lot of little quirks that may frustrate experienced players, but won't bother newbies. Among them are: grading based on stars instead of letters, Marvelous steps being weighed much heavier than Perfects, arrow colors not reflecting their timing well, and songs swapping jarringly between the song selected and a "background" song during song and option selection.
The songs are not bad. The steps were created by Konami, and there are some surprisingly fun stepcharts for the Disney Channel songs. The Konami songs are mostly repeats from earlier games. As for the Disney Channel songs, whether you like those is purely a matter of taste.
I have several major complaints with the game. One, the background videos for the Konami songs are simply awful. The faces in "Candy" are distracting; a person's eyes tend to snap to a face when it appears. The video for "Brilliant 2U" is such a dreadful whirl of color and motion that the song is nearly undanceable! Why in the world did they replace the original Konami videos? I recommend turning the brightness way down on background videos, or turning them off altogether. Much worse, though, is the fact this game supposedly has 40 songs, but for practical purposes there are only 37. According to Keen Games, the only way to unlock the final three songs is to get a full Marvelous combo on each of the first three levels. That's all but impossible even for DDR champions - as of this writing I have seen no postings on any of the major DDR boards saying that anyone has managed it yet - but somehow the target audience is supposed to be able to manage it? Shame on them for not giving those songs a timed unlock as a fallback option.
