...lol, it's funny how right after i said that it was available, they post the thread for it =P

Unfortunately, i do not own an iPhone/iPod Touch, but my best friend does, so hopefully i could let him know about this app and see if he can get it for his iPod touch.

I'm not sure if the songlist is different from the Japanese version, but if it is somewhat like that version, then this is a really good buy for $7.00.


Max is back making DDR videos! This time it will include DDR X US CS and soon enough, the DDR X AC!

Finnally! Something fun I can have on my iPod Touch! The song choices look very nice, and it'll be interesting to play. I currently have DDR S Lite on my iPod. I have to get some money for iTunes. It looks well worth the $7.00. Goodbye Tap Tap, hello DDR S!

All right, time to give some feedback.

Overall, very fun; DDR on a touch screen, what could go wrong? I'm pleased that SILVER DREAM's Expert steps were re-tweaked to make them flow better; it's bearable now, was unplayable before.

The difficulty display for songs rated 11 or higher is screwed up. 11 is represented as 2 bars, one red, one yellow. 12 is 3 bars, one red, two yellow, etc. Doesn't make sense.

Previews load faster than CS X, which I found funny. And good.

The song list is great; an awesome collection of new and old, representing DDR from all walks and eras. I think this is the kind of list that should be what a "revival" list in a CS game should be. Really enjoyable, good picks. A little disappointed that AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE still has no lyrics, but was I really expecting anything else?

Frame rate, syncing, responsiveness is good. I randomly miss things sometimes and my timing is awful but I feel this is definitely my fault and not a game issue. Dancers and backgrounds look great even on the tiny screen, though sometimes the dancers slow down for some reason? Not sure, not really paying attention to them.

I still wish there was an option to turn off the announcer. But, that being said, he is MUCH more bearable here. Aside from saying the same 2 things over and over at the same places in songs, he's much less frequent and much less annoying. Model future announcers after this, if you must have them.

I'm disappointed that Shake Mode only lets you play Lesson by DJ. I understand that shaking to SILVER DREAM Expert is impossible, but you could just enforce Freeze Off and Cut On at all times during Shake Mode.

The banner for SAY IT AGAIN is wrong; it should be NAOKI feat. DDT, like the song wheel and official site say, but the banner says DDT feat. NAOKI. Also, why isn't the NAOKI logo used?

Now onto the steps. Maybe I'm spoiled from X, but it wasn't a totally positive experience.

SAY IT AGAIN: This is mostly fine, until the end, when the step placement goes everywhere and induces major double stepping. This is not a problem for the touch screen game, but if this were ever ported to AC or CS, it needs to be fixed, since it's really awkward. Whoever wrote this needs to understand step placement better.

Rescue Me: Copy/paste of MEMORIES. Throwbacks are cute, but only when they fit. This makes no sense, the song clearly does not fit the original chart exactly as presented, and it was lazy to just leave it like that.

A Geisha's Dream (Ruffage Remix): Why doesn't this have a new banner? Anyway, the steps are mostly copy/paste of the original A Geisha's Dream Expert steps, and small additions are thrown in from the Ruffage Remix's Difficult steps. Overall, extremely lazy and unfitting. The steps to A Geisha's Dream fit that song so much better; here, they make no sense. This one hurts most, since I like the song, but the steps are not fun at all.

Overall, really fun game, but the exclusives should have been handled by the X graphics and step team. Hope the feedback can be used~ I may sound harsh, but I do it out of love for the game and the sincere desire to see improvements where they can be made. :)

KONAMI: The steps to Heavens and the Earth are a measure late on all difficulties. Patch this, please.

Alright, time for my feedback...

Good game overall, but definetly has some flaws.

At some points, the game will just lag out, even if the phone is restarted with nothing else opened. That is my biggest gripe. The game has pretty bad timing issues if you ask me, seems late. This doesn't have so much to do with the game, but A Geisha's Dream (Ruffage Mix) is absolutely horrible, musically and step chart wise. The loading times are pretty good, espescially on a device like an iPhone. The backgrounds can get really distracting in the game and it would be nice if it had a screen filter like X does. I wish there was more new content for the game, some of it feels quite lazy if you ask me, mainly the 3 new songs. Say it Again is musically pretty good and the chart decent. Rescue Me I found personally OK, but there have been some complaints about it. The game is worth the pricetag you pay for it, but don't play it for scores, only as a pass time or for something quick and easy to do, going for scores will get you nowhere with this game unless they improve the timing.

The timing issues, the scoring, the unlocks, lag, and Silver Dreams expert step chart are very VERY bad problems. Silver Dream I could go on and on about..

We got an update to 1.1.2 yesterday:

-Game seems a bit quicker. The game lags less often, some loading times are reduced slightly, and the game no longer suffers a huge performance hit from using a character.

-The timing is fixed! I watched most of my B's and C's jump to AA's yesterday.

-Heavens and the Earth chart fixed

-Banners for SAY IT RIGHT and Rescue Me are corrected. AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE is still named incorrectly, and A Geisha's Dream (Ruffage Mix) still doesn't have its own banner.

-The announcer now says the name of the character if you let the slider rest on their icon.

-The update text said that the difficulty display was fixed, but it still looks broken to me. Maybe they meant 'fixed' as in 'doesn't change'... =P

I've just bought DDR S yesterday and tried it out.

It was good fun but there are a few disadvantages in the game (most of them had been mentioned before).

- Timing is slighty off-sync and ended up getting C's and B's on expert (when I played any song)

- When the expert rating is 11, one was highlighted red and there was another yellow block. If it's 12 then there is 2 blocks next to the red and what Arctic said ''It doesn't make sense''.

- The song ''Say It Again'' has two different vocals. The female vocals are in the official game and the other was male. I've had the song with male vocals on my iPod Touch but it was a bit different when I played DDR S (same music but different vocals).

I haven't recieved an upgrade to the game yet which is going to be better than the last version of the game.

Ever since the iPhone 3.01 update, the DDRS game has no music at all, except in the menus. During gameplay it will only feature the DJ's annoying voice (god is there a way to shut him up from saying stuff like "oooooh yeeeaaah" >___> ), otherwise completely silent... Does anyone know how to fix this bug? I have the latest version I think...
