Title: Any XBOX games exist for DDR pad which is not dancing/music?
Post by: unclet on November 16, 2005, 06:21:50 pm: Does anyone know whether there are any interactive XBOX games which exist which interface with a DDR pad other than the typical "dancing-music" ones?

I am looking for something involving jumping, running, etc... which my kids could play using the DDR pad rather than trying to perform dance moves......

I'm almost positive that the latest version of DDR include non dance variations to mix it up a bit....and for general exercise. Here's the info from "ultramix"....this looks like you can even edit the moves to get it to do what you want....

In my opinion, they just don't seem to work. Quick left-right-left-right stepping to make a character move works a little, but the jumping and shooting at the same time is just too much. It's fun for a minute or two and then you grab a controller or use the pad just for dancing.
