Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party for the Nintendo Wii is pretty much everything you'd expect from past iterations of DDR plus a little bit extra. The bundle comes with only one dance pad (meaning you'll have to spend anywhere between 30-50 dollars for an additional one if you want to play with two players) and comes packaged in with a huge assortment of techno and J-Pop songs. None of them are too recognizable, but plenty of them are catchy and fun to dance to, and before long you'll quickly determine which ones are your favorites. The cool thing about Hottest Party for the Wii is the inclusion of the motion controls -not only are you moving your feet, but you're also moving your arms, emulating gestures that the game prompts you in order to continue earning points. You also have the option of disabling this function if you wish for a more traditional DDR experience, but personally, I think the inclusion was definitely a nice touch and a nice step forward for the DDR franchise.

If you have a Wii, want to get your dance on (or just need to burn some more calories) don't hesitate -it's a winner.

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party is the first in the DDR franchise that I’ve encountered. I can see why it’s so addictive. As a great bonus, the game comes with a DDR pad for the Wii.

There’s a nice variety of songs here, and the steps you’ll have to produce are varied and won’t get repetitive. Because this game is for the Wii, DDR makes great usage of the Wii remote and Nunchuk. Your arms are now involved along with your feet, and you’ll have to move the Wii remote, the Nunchuk, or both in time with the music. You’ll get quite a work out in just a few minutes. There’s even a mode to help you trace your exercise.

The graphics aren’t stellar, and the venues themselves aren’t the most detailed. But that’s only a minor gripe. This game isn’t about the graphics.

DDR Hottest Party is a lot of fun, and it’s a lot harder than it looks. If you’re new to the franchise, even the beginner level will take a while to master.

You're not really going to learn how to dance with this, nor are you going to be the king of the dance floor with this game. You're just gonna have lots of fun and look really silly stomping around on a pad and swinging your arms around with the wii controller. And there's nothing wrong with that! Highly entertaining and fun in a group setting. Some of the songs you're not really dancing to persay, but you are having fun. I like how they have contemporary songs as well as some oldies. I also like how they integrated the wii controller along with the dance pad into this game. Before it was just your feet now its your arms as well. Some people claim to have lost weight with this, but I just say you loose your temper sometimes from the constant teasing of your friends that you can't stomp fast enough!

This game gets pretty fun, and it can really work up a sweat if you start playing the more difficult levels. Did I have fun? Yes. Will you have fun? Yes. You have to move your whole body for this game. Unlike other DDR games on other consoles, this version also allows you to move your hands. Actually, you have to move your hands as well. Go ahead and try this game. You can start at an easy level and work your way up. There is a great range of difficulty levels, so feel free to see which suits you first, and then go ahead and start burning that fat.

This is a great party game. Many of the games I play on the Wii usually have cutesy little charcters and weird music. Now YOU can be the cute character and dance to weird music. YOU are the game! I really like watching the kids play this game. They go crazy fast trying to keep up and a good time is had by all. This game has some great music and the ability to make your drunken friends look even more foolish. Fire this baby up next time you have friends over for drinks and place some bets with each other on who will faceplant first!

I am in love with this game. Whenever I go out to my friend's house in Long Island, there is a fight over who gets to play DDR. Wii has taken the regular dance game and upped it a notch by using the hand controllers and incorporating them into the mix. This makes the game impossibly fun for kids and adults alike and is a great way to get your body moving instead of passively playing video games. The one complaint I have about this and similar products is that sometimes it is very difficult to hit the mark with your back foot, but other than that, this is amazing!

DDR Hottest Party for Nintendo Wii has taken DDR to a whole other level! Four players can simulataneous play making it more fun for more people at a time. The Wii remote and nunchuck are great additions to this game. They allow you to have a whole body-interaction while dancing. it's no longer just about the feet =p also, by swinging the controller, you can mess up your opponent(s). If you dont like dancing, especially at parties, you can use this as an exercise session. There's a single player work out mode which is awesome. You can pick how many calories you want to burn...and then the dancing/moving around begins. Once you hit your goal, it notifies you and you can either stop or continue. This is a great bundle for those who like dance parties as well as those who just want to play alone or with a couple people =)
