"Everybody Dance Now!" Up Down Left Right Up Up Down Left. This game makes you sweaty and gives you an excuse to dance dance DANCE! My only problem with this fantastic game is that a few songs have suggestive lyrics. Of course I'm not looking for these downsides while I'm rocking out to DDR. This game is best if you want a challenge on Wii but don't want to stand there wiggling your arm like an idiot while the Wii guy says "Nice throw!" Featuring techno remixes of popular songs and a few unknown classics, this game is assured to give you a blast!:)

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party was written by Andrew Bub
Parents need to know that this game is part of the highly respected Dance Dance Revolution series. For many years, the series has been found to increase coordination, burn calories, and encourage kids to dance. This version is a little harder because it adds arm movements (using the Wii remote and nunchuk). While dancing, kids will hear some songs that have somewhat suggestive lyrics.

More on Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party
What’s the Story?
DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION: HOTTEST PARTY marks the debut of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) for Nintendo's family-friendly Wii console. By adding a gimmicky arm-movement system, this version manages to take some advantage of the Wii's power of movement.
Players attach to the Wii system a dance pad that has four arrows (up, down, right, left) on its surface. Players watch as arrows on the TV screen slide upward toward a bar. When an arrow crosses the bar on the screen, players have to step on the corresponding arrow on the pad. Hottest Party adds arm movements by incorporating the Wii remote and nunchuk.
CloseIs It Any Good?
This isn't the first time DDR has tried to get arms involved; previous PS2 versions incorporated the Eye Toy peripheral to similar effect. It adds to the challenge, and it adds to the workout -- but it also makes an already hard game that much harder. (That's why the add-on is optional.)
Hottest Party lets up to four dancers compete ... provided you buy more dance pads. Which might be worth it, since it's so much fun to play with others.

Its a dance game
That basically sums it up. the lyrics are really not the main issue cuz kids can be listening to other stuff apparently "suggestive" but this game is all fun. Move up down left right....but dont use this as a way to make your kids lose weight.it helps but not up to par as a workout in a gym

Challenging, Fun game gives a lot of excersise!
This is my favorite game in the DDR series. It incorporates the Wii Remote & Nunchuck for hand movements, and allows 4 players (if you buy extra $30.00 pads). Some of the women's costumes are pretty skimpy, as always. A wide variety of songs makes it fun, and several modes and levels of play make it fun for everyone. You can get a real workout on this.
