Dance Dance Revolution DVD Game is a 2006[1] DVD-based game in the Dance Dance Revolution series (or DDR series) hosted by Roxee, a member of the Australian children's entertainment property, The Funkees. It is unique from other DDR games for a number of reasons. It was the first DDR game not to be developed by the creators of the original series, Konami. The only other non-Konami-developed DDR game is the Disney Channel Edition. To date it remains the only game neither developed nor published by Konami and, perhaps more significantly, it is the only game in the series which lacks input.

Gameplay

Although several members of the Plug-n-Play subseries of DDR games (most notably My First Dance Dance Revolution) featured simplified (2-step[2]) or smaller scale[3] dance pads for children, the 2 dance pads which come bundled with[4] Dance Dance Revolution DVD Game are scaled-back to the point where they no longer allow input to the game. The reason for this is that as a game intended for players of ages 5 and older,[5] those players on the younger end of the spectrum could have technical difficulties in gameplay and, as such, input can be seen as akin to maladaptation. Rather, the Dance Dance Revolution DVD Game instruction booklet sets up a subjective scoring system where 1-4 players[5] vote on each others' dance moves (style) and adherence to the rhythm. Nevertheless, many fans of the series who fall at the older end of the spectrum as well as some younger fans have decried this removal of input and have suggested that input followed by objective scoring are what makes a game a game[citation needed].

Music

Dance Dance Revolution DVD Game features 30 unique songs referred to as Dance Sessions. As these songs are played the exuberant host and personal dance instructor,[6] Roxee, encourages players and exhorts them to keep up the good work. The energetic Roxee is a member of the Australian children's entertainment property, The Funkees.[7]

Dance Sessions featured are listed in the following table:

Release

Dance Dance Revolution DVD Game was released in 2006 for the North American (NTSC) market and in 2007 for the UK and Australian (PAL) markets. Since its release, sales were lackluster despite earning the National Parenting Center's "Seal of Approval,"[6] however through membership in Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series, it has enjoyed a substantial fraction of sales from collectors and investors speculating on future collectible value.
