Graphics: 9.5/10
I think the animated backgrounds are very cool, but sometimes it can be hard to see the arrows (especially when you do heavy/oni) In some cases the background distracts me and it is hard to see the notes. They can be good or mess you up..

Music: 9.5/10
I like the majority of the songs, but some of them kind of stink. The slower songs really annoy me because they mess me up a lot. I wish some songs from the older DDR games were on this game.

Price: 7/10
It used to be 50 cents for me until I went off to camp. My friend told me that some idiot said that the machine was broken. When I returned home, the price was a dollar. This is kind of a rip off unless you get a few extra stages (which I have not yet accomplished).

Gameplay: 9.5/10
Even though some of the songs are a bit too hard (on Heavy), most of the songs are amazing and this is the best DDR game out there so far. For the nonstop thing, I like how there are four songs instead of just three. The slow parts in songs bother me a lot (but that is probably a challenge for everyone). What seems a bit wierd is that some of the songs are so fast that you have to put it down to 1.5 speed. There should be no x8 speed because the most I have seen anyone do is x3.

Overall: 9/10
This is probably the best DDR game out so far, but it's a little too expensive and I wish that I can play some of the songs from previous games (maybe there is a way...). No wonder why there are always huge lines for this game at the arcades I go to.
