Video Games : Dance: UK (PSone)

- The only Dance Game I will play --
Because the arrows come in three dimensions, this is the ONLY dance-mat game that doesn't have a horrible learning curve as you figure out which place you're supposed to step both from the direction the arrow it's pointing AND its position on the screen. In Konami's Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), and every other dance game I've seen, you don't have that ammount of intuitiveness. But on the other hand, Dance UK can get way more complex than DDR with its 8-way controller! In the harder levels, you even have to put your hand down in addition to your two feet to tap an arrow sometimes! All the complaints about this game being confusing are unfounded: if you have to step on two arrows at once the arrows are the same colour and occupy the same 3-d space. BigBen INteractive have made a better interface than any other dance game on the market, but it's being overshadowed by the preponderance of Konami's DDR Empire. Plus, the songs rock, and I don't even like dance music.
After 10-odd years of playing video games from Mario to hardcore shooters, it's the funnest game I've ever played. I'm trying to find one to ship over to the states for myself right now...
Rating: - EXCELLENT!
Most of the other reviews say that dance uk isnt very good but i think its excellent.The songs r much better than the ones on the konami games.There is the cheekygirls,westlife,sclub,sugababes and lots of other great songs.Theres 8 modes aerobics,training,multiplayer,dance uk mode,karaoke(where the words 2 the song come up at the bottom of the screen so u can sing along) and a few other modes.On the dance uk mode u go through lots of auditions,each in a different tv studio and u pick between a few songs on each audition.u can do it on easy,medium or hard,on easy it is just normal arows but on medium and hard ther r diagonal ones as well.I wouldnt recomend dance uk if its ur first time on a dance mat as it is quite hard if u r not used to playing on 1. But i think it is a very good game.

I think this game is ACE!!! it has everything you could want in dance mat. some people are really picky about where the arrows come from but DOES IT REALLY MATTER?????
My auntie emma is the dancer on-screen in the corner she is ACE!
Rating: - Dance UK goes for a burden.
I was disapointed with DanceUK, whereas with the Konami games, the arrows rise from the bottom, but on this they come from the middle, and it's very difficult to focus. Also, the Basic level of a dance is really hard, so it's not good for first time dancers. And their dance mat hasn't been constructed very well, they're slippy and it's dangerous wearing socks. Maybe I'm picky, but the makers need to re-think there mistakes and put them right, should they bring another version.
