  • The only good thing about this experience was that Amazon fully refunded my money and didn't charge me for shipping the returns

Reviews around construction (5.00 of 5)

  • While the construction is nice and solid with the heavy foam insert, I get the feeling the sensors and innards are not quite up to par with the Red Octane predecessor, which lasted me a good 3-4 years
  • If you're just after exercise, one possibility is to turn on Stepmania's auto play option and just make use of the pad's decent materials and construction
  • Construction seems pretty much like all the 1" high pads -- it's basically a thin pad but with 1" of foam added underneath.
  • The construction seems durable, comparable to foam-insert pads I've owned before

Reviews around ddr (4.10 of 5)

  • but, the same scenario occurred just after two weeks of intense DDR play
  • I have been an avid DDR player for many years and have been using the Red Octane high end soft foam high density pads
  • Works just as well for classic DDR games for PS2 & Xbox.2
  • If you're looking for a good DDR pad, then avoid any under the name of DDRGame!These pads are god awful and are not properly functional out of the box
  • I use this dance pad for the Wii and PS2 (it doesn't work with DDR Hottest Party 2 for Wii).I love it, the foam inserts make playing the game much easier on my feet, and make it so you can feel where the arrows are without having to look down at all.

Reviews around quality (3.50 of 5)

  • My one issue the cord that comes out of the pad is likely to bend and break off as it is not secure enough
  • The problem was this pad is of terrible quality and not only would I never, ever recommend it, I am advising any unsuspecting optimists out there: this pad is crap
  • Bad quality like this won't stand up to an intense player for long, and even more casual players deserve better
  • She has had one, but this one was supposed to be of better quality
  • This mat looks like it's high quality and there are aspects that i like, but beware of the raised arrows as they don't stay in place but slip around

Reviews around sensor (3.30 of 5)

  • The bad:* Smaller sensors than RedOctane pads; probably sufficient for most purposes but more restricting than I'm used to
  • It's comfortable for long periods of play and the sensors are great so far
  • The bad:* Smaller sensors than RedOctane pads; probably sufficient for most purposes but more restricting than I'm used to
  • The sensors are great, the raised arrows are a really nice touch, and they are pretty non-slip to the feet unless you're sweating buckets.
  • However, because of the raised buttons or maybe because the company uses really cheap sensors, I found that even on easy songs the pad would miss some of my steps (I can tell because of the raised buttons, as well as having looked at my feet).This wouldn't be bad if it was only a step here and there.

Reviews around button (3.30 of 5)

  • The buttons have no noticable lag that I can tell
  • Terrible, straight out of the box the buttons work only half the time
  • The dance mat is a normal thin dance mat, but has a very thin harder plastic square sheet under each up, down, left, right arrow buttons that makes them slightly raised so you can feel when you are on a button
  • Terrible, straight out of the box the buttons work only half the time
  • It was easy to feel the difference when I was starting to wander off the center of the pad and the buttons seem much more responsive.

Reviews around foam (3.12 of 5)

  • I've Really Dreamed Of A Sturdy Good Responsive Foam Dance
  • With MyMyBox out of business it seemed that the only option for a dense foam pad was the DDRGame Energy pad
  • One was great -- foam insert snapped together nicely, and the play feel was pretty good
  • I saw on previous comments that some people had trouble inserting their foam, but I didn't have a problem with that at all
  • It doesn't slip around at all, the surface is good on the feet, and the foam makes it pretty comfortable to use

Reviews around dance (3.09 of 5)

  • I've Really Dreamed Of A Sturdy Good Responsive Foam Dance
  • Wonderful dance mat, but does not work with xbox 360 or PS3, i know a few reviews did not know if it worked with them, so i wanted to confirm.
  • Overall a very nice dance pad that I recommend for anyone wanting a good top of the range
  • I tried all the adaptors in the world, but couldn't get my ps2 (flimsy) dance pad to work on my MAC for Step Mania
  • Wonderful dance mat, but does not work with xbox 360 or PS3, i know a few reviews did not know if it worked with them, so i wanted to confirm.

Reviews around octane (2.94 of 5)

  • My one issue the cord that comes out of the pad is likely to bend and break off as it is not secure enough
  • I picked this out since the reviews were mostly positive, and it seemed like it would mimic my trusty old Red Octane well with its raised buttons and multi-platform ability
  • Not as good as the Red Octane mat, but better than the really thin mats.
  • I don't think anything will ever be as good as Red Octane's pads, thus the 4 out of 5 stars, but in our dorm's experience this is as good as it gets on the DDR foam pad market today
  • Immediately after opening the package I could tell this wasn't going to be anywhere near as good as my old Red Octane pad

Reviews around mat (2.84 of 5)

  • you rarely play ddr, but want a nice mat for when you do, then this mat will work, but if you play a lot then i suggest looking into another one...and i would suggest trying one without raised arrows...
  • I used to play heavy mode every day, so I know a bad mat when I get one pretty quickly.
  • The arrows on the damaged mat never worked properly, though we have struggled with them for a year
  • Wonderful dance mat, but does not work with xbox 360 or PS3, i know a few reviews did not know if it worked with them, so i wanted to confirm.
  • If you are not good at the game then this mat will work for you

Reviews around step (1.61 of 5)

  • The left would simply fail to detect steps (~3 per song) and the right would randomly trigger, resulting in bad step judgements
  • Now after six weeks I'm starting to notice a few missed steps, but fortunately they are rare and erratic, rather than a consistent problem like my Red
  • So after about 2 weeks the one mat that was mostly working has no started to miss steps and isn't responding as well
  • The fit was nice and tight (as it should be with these kind of foam pads) but even though the pad wasn't bunching up anymore, the problem of random arrows and missed steps persisted.- Repackaged the pad and ready to return tomorrow morning
  • The defective one doesn't register the right step sometimes, and will press randomly other times

Reviews around song (1.58 of 5)

  • I recently got into wii ddr, but got bored with the crappy songs
  • At first, it was only 1-2 misses per song, but now I am failing songs due to the number of misses
  • Only when I'm playing INSANELY hard songs will this pad jiggle
  • I could never do hard/expert level songs on your standard ddr pad (the thin non padded ones)
  • But as I tested the pad out (over 2 weeks), I found that the difference, on really fast and expert-level songs, is about a letter grade!

Reviews around plastic (1.51 of 5)

  • The plastic can be a little bit sticky on the feet, but wearing socks easily fixes that problem, and the sensors are incredibly receptive
  • My one issue the cord that comes out of the pad is likely to bend and break off as it is not secure enough
  • Very strong plastic smell when I first got it,
  • the arrows are slightly raised with hard plastic which is extremely comfortable to play on
  • First, like another reviewer said, there is a strong plastic smell from this pad, so let it air out awhile before you use it unless you like a plastic smelling environment

Reviews around foot (1.44 of 5)

  • Usually I had to stop playing once my feet started to hurt, but now I stop when I just can't move my legs anymore
  • Play ONLY WITH SOCKS, bare feet can stick to the surface of the mat and after prolonged use you can eventually rip it
  • My feet got blisters however, so I wouldn't recommend playing for too long at first
  • Metal mats hurt the feet while the foamy ones don't and cushion the fall of your feet.
  • The foam really helps in not hurting your feet after using it for a while.

Reviews around model (1.00 of 5)

  • Some people who have purchased this product have had a good experience, and I expect if I had not received a defective model, I might have been quite pleased with it
  • Dance pads are a product category where there is a stable supply of uncomfortable, easily torn, or downright useless models
  • It is a little slower to register movement than some pricier models.
  • I had high hopes for this mat, given that I had only used the much cheaper models ands brands before

Reviews around floor (1.00 of 5)

  • You can use this pad to place on hard flooring with little trouble
  • I got frustrated and put it away, and recently pulled it back out after moving to a new place which has hard floors
  • The foam insert is nice and sturdy and definitely helps take the strain off my feet when playing for a long time, as the foam cushions my foot rather than letting it hit my hard tile floor
