 Absolutely necessary to play DDR at home September 7, 2008

Absolutely necessary if you want to play DDR on your Xbox 360. The mat that comes bundled with the game is bad because it slips around, and you can't feel where the arrows are with your feet.
The Beat Pad and Beat Pad Pro are a thousand times better... foam puzzle pieces hook together to form a mat you slide inside and zip up, so it's comfy to jump around on (I am a 170 pound woman in her 30s who bought this to lose weight in a fun way, and it's comfortable for me to jump around on it). The arrows have square pieces of plastic under them, so you can feel the area where the arrow is with your feet.
The mat registers steps well (although I am on beginner and basic mode, so I can't speak for people playing the game at a high level). It's not even worth playing the game without this mat. I plan to buy a second one so I can play it with my husband or a friend.
Things to know: The only difference between Beat Pad and Beat Pad Pro (as far as I can tell) is that the Pro version hooks up with the headset to play online. I have the Pro version, but I probably didn't need it because I don't play online. That said, I don't know how the regular version would have been.
It is not wireless. Maybe they've made a wireless version since I bought it, and that would be nice because I have a tall TV, and I have to run the cord up on top where the Xbox is. It has a USB connector on the end and plugs into the front of the Xbox.
Once you put the foam inside it, it's not easy to take back out, and you should not roll up the outside covering for storage. I store mine leaning against the wall. If you had a tall sofa, you could store it underneath... it is large, bulky and not foldable.

 Review for the Matt only, not the game January 18, 2008

The matt works fine, but the reset button is on the "handle" of the matt, right in the center. It is very easy to inadvertently tap it with your foot instead of the up arrow, which throws off the whole game.
 Poor Performance. December 15, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you are only playing a bit, this pad is fine. But know that it is very slippery at the bottom and if you have wood floors like me, it will move constantly while dancing on it.
Also, the material is plastic, and not the same kind that comes with the game, which is shiny and somewhat durable. No, this plastic is not as high quality. And it doesn't lay flat on the floor like the OEM pad. The edges peel up. This could possibly be fixed by leaving the pad unfolded for a long period of time, but I don't want to do that. And as someone mentioned before, the buttons are not at all elevated, so you can lose your orientation easily while playing.
I rate this a 2/5 because it is still useable, though it is very annoying. Avoid if possible. Get an OEM pad if you can.
