The hippest dance game in the world is coming to your living room. In the 80s, the coolest city kids threw down the cardboard, cranked up the beats, and let their bodies do the talking--forever changing dance and urban culture. Today, they throw down the pad, plug in the disc, and Pump It Up. Call it history repeating itself. Call it the best dance game ever. Call it whatever you want, just dont miss a beat.
Features:
This is dancing, not stomping: Instead of randomly assigning buttons to beats--which leads to boring plodding--choreographers arranged the dances to the song first. Only then are steps assigned to arrows on the mat, so players move like they would on an actual dance floor.
The freedom of a five-button mat: Pump it Up: Exceed transforms the genre and rewards players for freestyle exploration. Its not just where you put your feet, but how they get there.
A dance mode for everyone: Home, Sudden Death, and Tutorial modes mean theres a style and intensity for all levels of players. Rankings in Arcade and Survival modes turn the dance floor into a beat-breaking battleground.
Roughly 100 thumping tunes with everything from rock to house to Latin to pop: Pump it Up: Exceed features hits by Grammy nominees The Crystal Method and Steriogram, as well as Earth Wind and Fire, Sugarhill Gang, and more--including unlockable tracks and music videos.

Pump it Up is a Korean-made dance game, but let me assure you, it is NOT a clone of DDR. It has five buttons in the center and diagonal corners instead of up, down, left, and right (It has u,d,l, and r too but they aren't used for dancing). The dance moves are set in stone, so no randomized patterns like DDR. They're set in a way that actually feels like you're dancing (Well, as far as a dance game goes it's the most convincing I've ever played)! I've been playing this game for two years already and just barely scratching Hard mode on some songs. Normal mode will usually flip you up enough. DDR was first part of my exercise routine but it wasn't working and was pretty boring. PUI actually has me sweating and bone tired -on normal mode. Recommended if you really like a challenge. And there's a great soundtrack too!
I bought this as a 17th birthday gift for my daughter. She finds Pump It Up to be superior to Dance Dance Revolution.
Much to our amazement, the dance pad controller works with DDR as well (on the X-Box). Though lacking a DDR dance pad, she had been given some DDR games and played them with the hand-held controllers up until now.
While the PIU is a far superior product, the popularity of DDR means there are more titles available, so my daughter gets the best of both worlds using the PIU dance pad for the intended software as well as the competitor!
I have played Pump It Up for years in the arcade. I'm 50 years old and still can't get enough of this game. It was delivered faster than expected and works great! The game pad stays in place.
The pad works (I used it as a remote to test it), but the game won't play! It keeps saying check for dust or scratches and there are none! It was bad right out of the packaging!
Bought another package to see if that disc would work and it doesn't. I took them both to a local game shop to try it and their original xbox consoles also can't play it! Keeping the packs for the two pads mainly and got the game disc at a store.
Well, it works, but only the CD. The pad however does not work. It is for Xbox original only and from what I've researched about this, all kinds of adapters will not work. Im pretty bummed and the seller should CLEARLY mark or note that the pad/mat is specifically for the ORIGINAL XBOX ONLY. IT IS NOT USB AND WILL NOT WORK ON THE XBOX 360!!!!!
