    An extremely viable alternative to the otherwise monolithic DDR franchise.

    Exceed is much more difficult than the standard dance games. The difficulty ranking goes from normal to nightmare and all points in between.

    To fans of the genre, it's stellar. It's got just over one hundred songs, each with their own backgroud videos, modes that test both your stamina and your composure, and more of what people have come to expect from dancing games.

    The formula remains the same as other rhythm games, but it's enough of a new twist if you're looking to break away from DDR for a while and try something with a slightly different and successful approach to the genre.
  6. Game Revolution
    75
    Despite the disturbing moniker and somewhat unintuitive front-end, the booty of this beast is a dancing joy. Clearly a step up and to the right from "DDR."

    This is one of the best purchases I've made recently. They claim its real dancing, and it is. I've played a fair amount of DDR but This is one of the best purchases I've made recently. They claim its real dancing, and it is. I've played a fair amount of DDR but this is much, much better. I also love the music...both quantity and quality. The included mat is also pretty good, way better than I was expecting. If you like dancing games, you need to check this out!… Full Review »
