I'm going to get my daughter a dance game this June and there's 2 options and trying to figure out which one to get

1 - DDR Dance Dance Revoution by Konami
2 - Andamiro - Pump It up

DDR has arrows up and down, and left and right, which I heard is how dancers like to place their feet and it's more natural.

Pump it up has arrows in all the corners, top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right. I've also read that this is a natural stance for dancers, but I have no idea which is better and who to believe on the dance forums.

Any input on which is better would be great - Thx.

Plus I heard the music is better on DDR

so the people on the DDR forums saying that Pump it up arrows are more natural feeling aren't correct? It looks like DDR is more natural to play. Thanks for your input.

I was going to buy a HUO for 3k Pump It Up NX, but it had some issues and had a CRT which makes it 70 lbs heavier.

So I'm going to buy one through M&P amusements. The shipping sucks at $650 and the unit is $3600.

However, they put in a LCD, repaint and put on new graphics, rebuild the floor pads plus 90 day warranty. Yes I'm probably spending $1 k more than I should, but peace of mind knowing it's solid is worth it today, especially when techs are $80/hr. Add to that if sensor parts start going bad on the floor pad or anything else, it can add up pretty quickly.

My daughter only likes WW and MM, which I sold and doesn't play the 20 games I have. She always loved DDR so I figured instead of getting another pinball for me and my wife that it's her turn.

Thank you......I'm getting the DDR....thanks for your time and input!!!!!!

I believe the one gentleman said that it's a more natural of a dance instead of being diagonal while dancing and you get more lower body movement than you would on a PIU

The PIU machines actually sell for $1,000 less, although they look better, the more popular ones wanted and being sold are DDR per M&P Amusements.

They are selling the DDR's to gyms and schools and it's the number 1 machine wanted
