DanceDanceRevolution UNIVERSE3 (Xbox 360) (North America)

Well yeah, but even if you edited Holy Orders down to 2 minutes I think it's still harder.

I think Konami sort of shot themselves in the foot with the 20-scale by making already released songs go up to 18. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room.

888 Heavy is especially awesome, imo. It feels like a perfect 9 to 10 transition because of how draining it is.

I have a question about Less Is More. I don't know if this was already answered or not, but is "lim's Sculpture" another alias of SLAKE? I only ask this because this song and HYPER BOUNDARY GATE -SLOW FLOW MIX- from Denjin K sound VERY similar. Does anyone know?

DDR Universe 3 scares me again.

The world's first Official "Licensed" 10 footer song has appeared.

And I'll be damned if it doesn't make a little sense.

Hey is anyone working no making the MP3 for this game? THat would be awesome!

Good

- Pretty good initial songlist. Most of the unlocks that I've gotten so far are nice, too.
- Better character customization in Quest Mode. Extra points for bringing back Lady's Police uniform as an available outfit for female edit characters.
- Despite having a similar layout to Ultramix 4's Quest Mode, this one is significantly less frustrating.
- Music videos. Granted, they were made long before Universe 3 came out, but whatever. Gosha did a great job on Less Than Three and the videos for Conga and Canned Heat get me fired up.
- Roxy's quite the cutie.
- I've found myself terribly addicted to Don't Don't Go Away and Return of the Machines.

Bad

- Challenge Mode. If someone tells me it's not in there, they can eat me. After looking at some of the Challenges in Quest Mode, I've seen that it's made another return, this time being assimilated into Quest Mode.
- The "Yo dawg, fo' shizzle" dialogue in Quest Mode, especially from Valencia. I used to think she was cute until I read the verbal diarrhea she spews from her mouth.
- BG videos. Yes, while I like them, they irk me because they STILL lower the framerate. One of the biggest complaints of the last two games continues to go unchecked.
- No Jukebox Mode. I know, I don't imagine it was a terribly popular feature in the previous games, but I did occasionally enjoy just making a playlist then doing some work on my computer or around my room.
- I have to address the BG videos again, because this part is unforgivable. In the previous Universe games, when the framerate drop was too much, you could just turn off the BG videos in the Options menu and your character would dance against a still backdrop and the framerate wouldn't suffer. This time it's replaced by an ANIMATION consisting of character silhouettes. "Turning off" the BG movies in Options menu now means you're essentially trading in one framerate-killer for another. Unforgivable, Konami. This is the STUPIDEST move I've seen you guys pull with DDR. Yes, worse than X's Shock Arrows, because at least those could be avoided by simply not playing Oni charts. Meanwhile, there's physically NO WAY to escape from skippy arrows ANYWHERE on Universe 3.
