Dance Dance Revolution Regular Dance Pad for Sony Playstation2 PS/PS2

Perfecto

I play on heavy/challenge mode. On this pad, it's difficult to keep up on those step charts. I've found that if you want to play songs on those difficulties, playing anything under 140BPM is good for keeping the pad stable. After that it's like a slip and slide.I didn't use the stickers provided because I didn't want to permanently affix the pad to the floor, so maybe you could play at a higher BPM if you use those.Because I don't take this game as seriously as I used to, I had no problem with my pride when I went down to standard mode and tested it out. Standard offered a nice balance of difficulty and pad stability. I haven't had any issues with steps not registering. The port plug also had some bent pins upon arrival but I plugged it in anyway and it worked, so maybe I got lucky.Either way, if I had to, I'd buy another just as a spare.*EDIT*It's now January 2021. I started playing again recently and after prolonged folded storage, the down button works when it wants to. I put it away with no issues, but now it's pretty frustrating. Just be careful if/when/how you choose to store this thing. I'll probably buy another one.

I purchased this dance pad for a charity streaming event. I needed something that wouldn't break the bank but would still serve the purpose of getting people to donate money so they could play a DDR song. The controller response is accurate and the pad is designed well. Yes, it is more slippery than pads I've used in the past and the grip stickers they include don't do much. I just readjusted the pad after each game and later I bought some grip tape that is intended for rugs and it doesn't move at all now.

Got this to replace my Red Octane one that died. It took quite a while to break in - lots of crunching noises from a layer inside. But that's gone after a month or two of use.The pad still doesn't always register when I hit it - I think it is worst with the down arrow, but happens with others at times, too.

Sorry, it just doesn't work for two arrows at once, I would have found a red octane or some other original one to try first if I knew this one could not register two arrows at once, it is a huge part of DDR so I think it makes it not usable, for now im just using it for exercise but I won't be advancing my skills because the two arrows at once almost never register, there is something wrong with it, but I don't think I'm alone in this...

Many of the other reviews mention the cord missing a prong, which does seem to be true when you look at it, however the original PlayStation controller I have is missing the same prong. The mat works great. It plugs in fine and the buttons are easy to push (do not need to stomp on them as I have experienced in the past). This mat is relatively inexpensive, which is nice, and clearly brand new. The only negative thing is the overwhelming plastic manufacturing smell. You can literally taste it as take it out of the box. I left it outside overnight and them smell seems to have gone away for the most part. Overall, I am very glad I decided to buy this mat and will most likely be buying another sometime in the near future - when it is safe to host gatherings again and what not.

I love this product. It works exactly as intended and is packaged very nicely and secure.

Funciona bien, llegó rápido.. Buen embalaje
