XBox Dance 'games' + mats
 

OK, I am thinking of getting one of the dancing games plus mat(s) for my two daughters who are 7 and 9 ( or at least will be in a few months ) and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on which might be better for that age group.

I have seen good reports of Dancing Stage Unleashed, although the music seems to cater for the older teen/adult, whereas Dance UK seems to have the 'pop' for the younger player... Both seem to have a kind of 'workout' option as well as multiplayer... which brings me to my next question regarding mats, what are the mats you get with the bundles like ( ie from the game producer ) as opposed to the Logic3 ones you get with bundles from Gameplay etc?

Thanks for any help

Oh yeah, likely story.
You want to prance around yourself, go on admit it. :D

Nip down to Game & have a look in the package.

I've got Dance UK on the ps2 and it's really really difficult (and I'm.. ehem... 25). So I would avoid that, despite the fact there's some good tunes on it. I've heard the Unleashed ones are easier but have never played. Hope that helps a bit.

I think I may go with the Dancing Stage Unleashed, partly cos Gameplay do a decent package with 2 logic3 dancemats...

I may be wrong on this point, but I believe that Dance UK requires an 8-way dance mat, so if you do go for that one make sure you end up getting the correct mat to go with it.

Hi Dooby,

I bought my nephew a little while ago the Jungle Book Dancing game - get it, it's fantastic (even for the grown ups!) :D

er...isnt that PS only?

Re: XBox Dance 'games' + mats
 

i thought both needed 8 way...will remember to check though, although i was planning on getting some sort of 'bundle' anyway so would be fairly ****ed if the mat didnt work with the game :)

Ah, could be.... show's how much attention I pay to consoles...:dunce:

My copy of Dancing Stage Unleashed for the XBox and the matching dance mat would argue differently. :)

i ended up getting Dancing stage unleashed in the end, got it second hand at gamestation for £19.99 ... which made up for the fact that i had to pay £19.99 for a game dancemat ( only place i could find one )... was planning to buy online, but then the kids needed a cheer up present on saturday so ended up going out and getting it ( they are a tad upset at the moment due to moving house)

anyway, its a great success, they havent stopped playing it, which is good cos the eldest usually does the couch potato thing all weekend if given the chance.

oh and yes, i couldn't resist having a go... well what can i say they have "heart of glass" and "call me".... lol

The game only needs 4 way ( which actually makes it easier i guess ) but there are also 4 corner pads that are the a b x y buttons...can anyone tell me whether that is the same with the dance uk mats?
