Game Chronicles Review: Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2

GC writes: "For the 10th anniversary of Konami's much loved, often-imitated Dance Dance Revolution series of rhythm games, the company released a new title for each system. Their offering for Nintendo's Wii console is Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2, a sequel in both play style and musical selection to the first Hottest Party, released for Wii in 2007. Hottest Party 2 will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played the first one, as little has changed aside from the track listings, but for everyone else a quick rundown is in order.

As with all DDR games, the goal of Hottest Party 2 is to get people up off of their flabby butts and hopping around to the beat of the game's many songs on the distinctive dance pad controller, a large square that rests on the floor and beneath the feet of the player. By stomping one or two of the four directional arrows in time with indicators on the screen, players rack up points and are graded on their accuracy and sense of timing at the end of each song. The concept is simple to understand, but staggeringly difficult to master. Luckily for new players and people with no sense of rhythm, Hottest Party 2 includes two tutorial songs that are designed to teach these basics and help players to get a feel for how the game is played." (Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 2, Wii) 7/10
