This game would make a good addition to a family's library of Wii games because it is fun and it gets kids up and moving. With wholesome songs and several modes of play for both single and multiplayer, this game has much to like. Plus kids can personalize the way they play from what their avatar looks like (you can dress up your avatar to look like Mickey, Ariel or even Grumpy) to which venue they want to dance in. And with six levels of difficulty, kids as young as age six can learn DDR, while their older siblings can also find a challenge on the higher difficulty levels.
But the game is not perfect. Unfortunately, the hand movements are difficult to make register as earning points during the songs. However, you can opt to turn off the hand gestures.
DHGF: So that’s what “What’s Worth Keeping” will be all about. It’ll be about pairing down my collection with the help of you the readers. You’ll let me know what I should keep, what I should dump, and sometimes even suggest games I might find worthy of being part of my twenty games per console set. In taking this journey with me, you will not only get to know my tastes and preferences better, but hopefully your own as well. Every two weeks, we’ll look at a console and see if we can not only keep my number of games down, but also help you the readers decide if your collection needs pairing down as well. With that in mind it’s time to start this version of the column with the same system we started with two years ago – The Nintendo Wii.
DHGF: These days I limit myself to a total of twenty physical copies of games per system. Yet for the past two console generations, I’ve have a hard time finding enough games to reach my maximum of twenty per system. That’s where you, the reader come in. With each column, I’ll give you my list of games I’ve found worth keeping along with a list of games I’ve reviewed for the system. Then begins what I hope to be an in-depth dialogue with multiple readers. You can name games you think I’d like that might make my permanent collection. You might suggest losing Game A in my collection for Game B that I haven’t played as well. It gives you a chance to say what games you would keep if you had to pare down your collection. It lets you get a better look at my preferences and tastes. Most of all, lets you recommend things to me instead of the other way around. After nine years of me reviewing hundreds of games, this might be a bit of fresh air for all of us. Let’s see what happens.
The only game on Wii that worth anything to my family is Wii Sports Resort and that's because my wife and boys love frisbee golf. If it wasn't for that, I doubt we'd turn on the Wii, honestly.
From Gamertell:
"The Wii is this generation's family friendly system. It's easy to use, has a sufficient game library and offers a unique multiplayer experience. But there's a dark side lurking in the wings.
Many popular Wii games can also be quite dangerous, if someone doesn't know how to properly play. Careless players can wind up with headaches, motion sickness,
