Hottest Christmas Toy - U-Dance delineate

One of this year's best-selling Christmas toys is a new take on an old favorite. It's U-Dance: a Dance Dance Revolution (Ddr)-inspired game where players (up to two) dance to the beat of a pre-selected song and match up their steps with digital arrows on the Tv screen.

Sounds just like Ddr, right? Well, it's close. But U-Dance wins the dance-off on one count: it's wireless. That means no dance pads sliding nearby the living room, and no cords to get tangled in when stepping to victory. Instead of a pad, U-Dance features elastic foot straps, called petition Tags, that have sensors that quantum just how close to the beat you stomp your feet. Kind of like a Nintendo Wii, in U-Dance, the player is the controller.

Although the wireless aspect of the game is a huge advantage to games like Ddr and its knock-offs, U-Dance has a join major drawbacks. This Hasbro game is not a disc that you can put into your PlaySation console or GameCube. U-Dance has its own console, and its only game is, in fact, U-Dance. There's no word as to either this one-trick pony of a console will learn new tricks (that is, either or not it will accommodate other Hasbro games). The other major drawback is the song bank. Ask any Ddr aficionado, and they'll tell you they wish the game had either more songs or more levels-or both. U-Dance has the same amount of levels as Ddr, three: easy, moderate, and difficult, but it has fewer songs: 12 to Ddr's dozens. And some players have complained about the fact that not all of the songs are the originals-because of complications (or price) of royalties, some of the songs are recorded by sound-alikes.

There is something to be said, though, about the game's celebrity endorsement by pop artist Chris Brown. Brown's hit song, Run It, is featured on the game, and the artist only has good things to say about it (the game; not his song): "U-Dance is the best dance game out there. If you like to dance like I do, you are going to love this game." Well, if Chris Brown says it's the best, who's going to argue?

U-Dance can be purchased for .99 and does not contain the four "Aa" batteries important to run the game.
