Does DDR 3rdMIX play differently from Hottest Party, or am I just struggling?
Earlier today, I was playing Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party on the Wii (the American version). I also have a Japanese PS1 with the Japanese-exclusive DDR 3rdMIX, and I’ve noticed a pretty big difference in how well I’m able to play between the two.
I found Hottest Party on the Wii much easier to play. On the PS1, I’m struggling to even get a C, while I can do noticeably better on the Wii. I’m also using a different dance pad for the PS1. I just purchased this one from Amazon, so I’m not sure if the pad itself could be part of the problem.
I’m still a relatively new/semi-new player, although I have played DDR in the past, and I’m definitely not the best at it yet.
So, could this difference just be because I’m playing a different game/version? Does the region or version of DDR affect the scoring or difficulty? Or could the dance pad I’m using be making that much of a difference?
I’d appreciate any advice from more experienced DDR players!
