Stepmania! It's DDR for your fingers. With a limitless amount of songs available on every difficulty imaginable (but mostly just really hard or insane) it really is better. You could even get a dance pad for your PC and never have to buy another DDR game again. Anyway, who here plays? If you don't, why not try? Song packs can be found below and I can try (emphasis on try) and give some pointers to those that want it.

Downloads
Various downloads for Stepmania. Songs, themes, and noteskins. If you want me to add something to the list, just let me know.

Song Packs
None of these are hosted by me, but they're some pretty damn good packs. I'll link to each of them and give an approximate difficulty rating for the one's I've tried. Much more to come in the future. Unzip them into your Songs folder. (except for the Otaku's Dream series, you have to unzip those into your Stepmania folder) Due to the varying types of files used, I'd recommend WinAce. It's worked for every file here so far, but if you have another Unzipper you prefer, then use it.

Themes
Just some themes. Unzip into your Themes folder.

	XI DiSTROTiON +45 Theme I'm currently using. Based off of IIDX 13.
	AOI sapphire Another great theme. Remake of a theme based on IIDX 12.
	NEX: future vision projekt The first theme I used. An original theme inspired by IIDX.

---

Noteskins
Just double click them. They're an .SMzip file that will unload to the correct spot by themselves as long as Stepmania is installed.

	Apocalypse Great set of notes that follows a more modern version of the default.
	Apocalypse 2 Amazing set of notes that I still currently use. Futuristic look with epic lightning-esque holds.

Holding spot. I'll collect what we do here. =)

(EDIT DJ Omni: wow I really need to add a MOD to merge close double-posts x.x)

Absolutely. The only downside is having to download all the songs, but that's what song packs are for. Lazy people. (like me) =)

Sweet, I'll check it out later

I used to play but gave up cuz i just suck at rhythm games. I can barely finish a song in beginner mode. I am more a fan of Audiosurf, now, but it's not free

Also nice triple post you had there {AP} <.<

mhmm ok, then , I thought it was some sort of unnecessary triple-posting , which is why I merged all posts content then deleted the others. Plus, I noticed some members are taking bad examples lately. I guess if you want, I could always put your two other posts back up, though (they are in trash bin).

Let's just try to not abuse it too much, though, cuz as you noticed lately, double posting seems to have been abused a lot over here, even after the new rule claryfyfing it was added . We give people one inch and they take a foot

True enough. For now, we'll leave it like this. I'll let you know if I need the other posts later.

i play a bit im not that great i think im going to try the theme packs though

Go for it. You only get better if you practice. =)
Though, I guess we have our limits... I've been playing for years and I'm still not godly. =(

ok. It should be easy to re-add, unless the Trash bin ever got hit by the same thing TIMGUL's did (altough it might be fixable by editing the MySQL database directly), because no reply were made between each posts

As for the game, I think it depends of people. I love RTSes but I suck with my hands, which cause me to have trouble quickly moving my mouse exactly over a small unit and clicking it instantly. In FPSes I have trouble aiming and shooting other people. In 3rd person view 3D games I always fall off blocks/bridges when walking

Well, the Otaku's Dream packs have 1 Naruto song in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th mix and 1 Bleach song in the 2nd mix.

Other than that, I still have to look for some more packs. Those are just the ones I have on me so far and I just started playing again today. ^^;
(My hard drive was wiped awhile back so I haven't bothered downloading anything for months now.)

You can try http://bemanistyle.com/ .
It has single songs, but you have to register first. (It's free and painless.)
