"In the Groove utilizes similar mechanics to Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series. The core gameplay involves the player moving his or her feet to a set pattern, stepping in time to the general rhythm or beat of a song. During normal gameplay, arrows scroll upwards from the bottom of the screen and pass over flashing stationary arrows (referred to as the "guide arrows" or "receptors")... the player is taken to the Results Screen, which rates the player's performance with a letter grade and a percentage score... Stepcharts on In the Groove can sometimes contain 3 or 4 arrow combinations (usually hit with the assistance of hands)."
I would murder someone for an ITG Dedi-cab, right now... Okay, maybe I wouldn't go that far, but it would be really nice to play on one.
I came upon the "In The Groove 3" soundtrack a few weeks ago. I'm really impressed with what Roxor and Kyle Ward created. The series was really improving. Too bad those money hungry hoes over at Konami destroyed the ITG Franchise. ITG 3 would've been amazing. For those of you who don't know, Konami, the creator of the "Dance Dance Revolution" franchise, sued Roxor, the company who created ITG, for copyright infringement. Both of the games are similar, but very different (imagine Coke and Pepsi). Even though both games are completely different, the court decided in favor of Konami, and in turn, they absorbed the company.
I've really taken a liking to the soundtrack. Below are my ITG songs of the moment. I present to you "Hasse Mich" by Onyx and "Get Away" by E-Rotic:
Onyx - "Hasse Mich"
E-Rotic - "Get Away"
What did I tell you guys? A. I love all kinds of music(Yes, even Europop). B. I have a nerd streak.
LOL.

u ever play "bust a groove" for playstation???
LOL! Yeah, I've played "Bust a Groove." It was fun for what it was.
DDR and ITG are way better than that. You have to actually have the ability to carry a rhythm. Very challenging of one's endurance as well.
:D
