The possible downside to this is that it can reduce turnover and revenue generation for the game...something an arcade owner may or may not be too keen on. Although average game length (on a single credit) for DDR is already above average by my guesstimate. However, both games tend to foster rabid repeat players, so hopefully revenue balances itself out over the long haul.CaseyDidder wrote:uh duh? they advertise that very point. 90% of there songs are above 1:50 mark, and only 2 are under, at 1:47 and 1:48. 50% are over the 2 minute mark, and no I'm not jus pulling these numbers out of my ass.MonMotha wrote:Back on topic, I noticed something. ITG songs tend to average around 2 minutes, rather than 1.5 which was normal for DDR. This can make things harder by being more tiring, and of course, a longer game is always nice for those playing to get their money's worth. The challenge of keeping the steps from becoming repetitive is even greater with longer songs, though ITG seems to do an OK job.
I fail to see how the fact that they advertise it (despite the fact that I may nto have noticed it before) somehow makes it not something worth mentioning on the topic of "Why ITG is better than DDR", unless you think that makes DDR better for having shorter songs?CaseyDidder wrote:uh duh? they advertise that very point. 90% of there songs are above 1:50 mark, and only 2 are under, at 1:47 and 1:48. 50% are over the 2 minute mark, and no I'm not jus pulling these numbers out of my ass.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

After finally having the pleasure of watching someone play ITG ( S'was too sick myself to play at the time and MMR rocks ) I have to say I really thought it was better than DDR. Taken for granted I haven't been in the DDR scene for long but I do happen to like the songs better from DDR than ITG that I've come across thus far. However, the complications and challenges in ITG were much more exciting.
From just hearing of the game I was afraid it was just a new phase on DDR but I'm happy to find that it's a delightful recreation of the dancing genre.
That's just my opinion though. I think I'll stick to DDR until I'm ready to tackle this next challenger ( although next time I'm down in the land of corn and cows I will be stalking Putt Putt for a while )!

I really want to try ITG, everybody says it's fun and I think I would enjoy it because personally I am getting kind of tired of DDR, but I still love it.
