subject: Dance Dance Revolution Metal Pads [print this page] Dance Dance Revolution has become a popular game, and with anything else; increase in popularity means an increase in accessories, namely the Dance Dance Revolution metal pads. These metal pads are a lot more durable than some of the other pads for the game, and many of the models are compatible with more than one type of gaming system. The Dance Dance Revolution game is available for PlayStations, Xbox, PC/Mac, and Game Cube. Not all the pads are going to work for every gaming system, but there are some available that will work with each type.
The Dance Dance Revolution Metal Pads will work on carpet or hardwood floors so location is not an issue in that regard. However, the bulk and weight of these pads may mean you should choose the location carefully. Since these metal pads can weight between thirty eight and seventy pounds, it's not something you are going to want to be moving around a lot. This also means that storing it on a shelf when not in use will not be an option. You can also get metal pads with handrails. This is nice when you want something to keep you centered on the pad so you hit the arrows. Overstepping and missing the next arrow because you didn't hit the button can be quite frustrating when trying to get a good score on the game.
However, the metal pads have a higher performance than some of the other pads for the game. DDR metal pads are designed for tournaments and competitions. This means that they will withstand constant use. Most also have a great response time and no noise when stepping on the arrows. No noise means no interruption when dancing to your favorite songs. These metal pads can also hold players up to two hundred and fifty pounds. Some can hold up to three hundred pounds.
One other thing you might want to consider with Dance Dance Revolution metal pads is the presence of little kids. These pads are constructed out of metal so the edges could be sharp. This could be a potential hazard for little children, especially children that are just learning to get around. Tripping over or onto the metal pad could result in some serious injuries in toddlers. This should be taken into consideration when purchasing and placing a metal pad for your home. If you do get a metal pad it should be place where little kids can get at it.
