What’d you think?: I love DDR. I was playing constantly through middle and high school. I’m intimately familiar with all the songs in this game, and to this day, could still easily clear all of them in an arcade. I struggled with this home version. I don’t know if it was solely because you couldn’t adjust the scroll speed (making the timing of the arrows far easier to discern), or if there were latency issues involved with emulation, but I failed far too early, and I’m terrified for what this means for the other rhythm games that await.
