PS2 Metal Pad For Dance Dance Revolution - Why You Should Get One

Okay, it's time to bust out the PS2 metal pad and get moving with Dance Dance Revolution!

So you've played Dance Dance Revolution at your local video arcade, and now you want to bring the excitement of the game home with you to play on your Sony PS2. Metal pad dance mats are the way to go, and are an absolute must for two very simple reasons:

1. You want to maximize the accuracy of how well your dance moves are registered against the pad.

Casual game players may find that the soft pack in pad is good enough for regular game play. The dance pad is sensitive and accurate enough to register your every dance move. And it should last you for a very long time. Whereas, if you are a hardcore game player who dances hard and dances quite often, you may find yourself wearing out the mat a lot faster. Eventually, it is highly recommended that you consider replacing your worn out mat with a PS2 metal pad instead. These are far more durable, will be able to take a better beating, and will, no doubt, last you much longer than the soft pad.

2. Another concern is the ability of the pad to balance on a carpeted floor, which effects the accuracy of your dance moves.

If you play with the soft pad on a carpeted floor, your dance moves may not be registered properly, because the pad is unable to lay flat against a level floor, so it's possible that as you step across the mat, you might inadvertently displace the mat, without even realizing it. Due to the game pad's sensitivity, even a minor variance in it's ability to remain level and flat against the floor can mess up your rhythm, and hence your game play. There will constantly be some subtle movement. But, guess what? If you use a PS2 metal pad instead, you will be able to avoid this problem altogether.

Now, unfortunately, these PS2 metal pads don't exactly come cheap. But look at this way: PS2 metal pads may cost you a lot more up front, and may seem unnecessary, since the soft pad apparently does the job just fine. But believe me, you'll be saving money in the long run, since you won't be wearing out the metal pad every few months, the way you might with the soft pads.
