Hand Gestures and New Gimmicks
Although loaded all the familiar mat mashing DDR fun, in utilizing the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 also brings new moves to the floor in the form of Hand Gestures and Gimmicks. Hand gestures require players to keep time to the rhythm of songs, beyond the step pattern they dance to, by shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuck. In effect this adds a third dimension to the traditional front to back/side to side gameplay, resulting in an even more full-body experience. In addition, if players so choose they can also up their difficulty level through Gimmicks. Through these players can briefly alter the game's UI--for example delaying the appearance of on-screen arrows--forcing them to rely on their rhythm instead of screen prompts and in the process pick up major bonuses.

Customer Reviews of Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 with Dance Mat

Rating : Disappointing Game, May 31, 2009

By Lynnstrum (Caribbean)

I purchased this game with a view to support my workout with the Wii Fit however the game is frustrating since it takes a lot of coordination. Additionally why choose a person to dance they dance on their own and you do not control the movements of the mii. You could just have the arrows in the middle without having the distracting people there dancing. Also if you want to end it you have to wait until the song is over, there is no out. Looking for something better.

Rating : Either it sucks or we do!, May 31, 2009

By J. Ryan "Julie" (Alabama)

We thought this game looked like fun, so we bought it. Set it up (or thought we did) and couldn't get it to register anything we hit. Took it back and were told we could only exchange for the same thing. So we did. Brought the second one home and the same thing. I read the reviews online and the comments about turning off all the extras, so we tried that. Still couldn't get it to register anything on the mat. It would register hand movements if we had that turned on. We even went so far as to keep hitting the same arrow over and over again figuring it had to be on target at some point and it still never registered. I don't know if Our Best Buy just got a bad batch or what. But we are taking this second one back and they better give us a refund this time.

Rating : Awesome! Nice improvements., May 31, 2009

By Amanda Beckman "Word Nerd" (WV, US)

I just love DDR Hottest Party 1 and I couldn't wait to get DDR HP 2. I love it as well! It's great that the hand marker setting is saved (I cannot for the life of me get them right) and the rest of the settings as well. I still wish the original singers would do the songs...I miss Rihanna singing Umbrella and Maroon5 singing Makes me Wonder but I guess it's a copyright thing? Anyway, nice improvements. I still love my DDR HP 1 and love the songs on it but DDR HP 2 shows that they listened to the consumers. (Thanks!)

Rating : DDr not hottest party, May 31, 2009

By Elsa Luciano-feal "elf" (PR)

DDR is too difficult to be fun. I had played another version of the game for playstation and it was so much fun. However, DDR for wii, or at least this version looks too much like work. I've always thought of myself as a good dancer and with this game I feel out of sync and a total klutz. Perhaps younger players will find it exciting but for me, two thumbs down.

Rating : Another great installment., May 31, 2009

By Tina Denali "Green Girl" (Seattle, WA)

Another great DDR game.
If you liked the first one, get this one! It comes with another high quality mat, so you can toss that crappy second rate one you got that sucks! :)
Lots of fun. :)
