Great Fun even with a few flaws

Overall this is a really good game that will get you out of your seat to best do all the movements.
This game requires a nunchuk in your left hand and the Wiimote in your right and dance steps are performed to the music by moving either or both controllers up, down, left or right and pressing the B and/or Z button to match icons move in from either side of the screen.
This kind of matching is not too far from the way Guitar Hero works with an extra dimension of timing the button presses.
Co-operative mode can be particularly fun in this game.
The early couples are nice and easy and you should be able to pass them within about the first 30 mins. As you get to the later couples the 'steps' come much closer together and can be quite tricky.
Could be better though. How?
The onscreen dancers don't miss their steps if you mess up for those watching you play and if they implemented this and then added an action replay feature for the last dance then it would be really entertaining to watch.
The professional level is not too much harder (at least not on the first four couples) than amatuer - the longevity of the game would be better with a bigger step up in difficulty.
The biggest gripe I have is that occaisionally the game will miss your movements on the nunchuk hand. I've tried three different ones and it is the same on all - this could be the sensitivity of the nunchuk itself though as I have noticed similar misses on Zelda. To avoid this make your movements much more pronounced on the nunchuk hand.
Overall this is a MUST RENT and is great fun whether you enjoy the dancing idea or not. Play for a few hours and you may get those familiar aches and pains that you got when you first bought your Wii and were not used to using some muscles! :-)
An expansion disk would be great or a 2nd version of the game with new features including those I mentioned.
