What's a good Dance Dance Revolution game to buy?

Question

It is for my 6 year old for the PS2. Which game would be the best and also, do you have any recommendations for buying a mat? I was looking on ebay, but are some mats better than others?

Answer 1

For christmas two years ago my parents got me DDR supernova which is actually made by konami.  It came with the game and the mat.  I recommend supernova and supernova 2 because they have recent songs that a 6 year old might like.  The mat works really good, i play DDR alot and i've never had any problems with it and ive had it for 2 years now i believe.  Whatever you do dont go with a cheap one, they slide around and sometimes even if you are stepping on the arrow it doesnt register, my friend has a mat like this and i hate it.  

Answer 2

All the DDR games are fairly similar, although there was a disney ddr for the ps1 that would work with the ps2 (backwards compatibility).

As far as the mats go, for a 6 year old you can probably go with the cheaper flat roll-up style mats.  They are fine until someone starts trying to play on hard/expert - at which point they slide around too much.  After that I recommend the ignition pad by red octane - it has thick foam inserts to weight it down, and it is more response on the fast parts.
