Product description Dance mat with microphone and speaker, just plug in your tv and play .com Although the reality show "American Idol" has become famous more for the vocal talents of plucked-from-obscurity stars like Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, dance may well become a stronger element of the program if enough future Idols get a hold of this entertaining dance game. Based on the popular arcade dance contests, the set features a mat that is laid out on the floor that lights up in rhythm to the music, designating various places for the player to step. It can be played by one or two players who choose between dancing games and video games (video pinball or Breakout) that can be played on a variety of skill levels. Five different songs are available to dance to, each with a unique video display featured on the included monitor. Four AA batteries are required but not included. If Justin Guarini had just owned this kit, it could have made all the difference. --Charlie Williams

retro, and music is just beeps
From the 90's, 8 songs, not much to it but still fun. Music is just beeps, not actually songs tho. Picked it up from a yard sale for virtually free

Lots of fun and exercise
My sister and I played on this thing for hours last night. Granted we are 28 and 33...lol I don't think this would work well for a 5 year old, I think pre-teen to early teen would really enjoy. It gave us quite a workout. The worst thing is it does not stay in one place for long. I think the duct tape idea would work well and I plan to try it as soon as I get a game of my own.

Lots of Fun - But it broke after a week.
Our children (7 & 5 yr boys) loved it. (Mom and Dad also liked it.) The kids enjoyed the games and dancing so much we had to drag them away at night. The boys got lots of excercise while playing video games.But, we had it only for a week and it stopped working - when you push the on button nothing shows up on the TV - it isn't because the batteries died. Since the boys had so much fun, we are going to try and get a replacement from a store.Note - It has component video connection ( Red / Yellow / White plugs) so make sure your TV has that type of connection or you will need to buy an adapter for this game.I'd give this toy five stars if the replacement lasts, but because this one broke after so little use I can not give it a good score.

NOT AGE APPROIATED FOR A 7 YEAR OLD
We got this for my grand-daughters 7th birthday last night.We are returning today. The music sounds robotic, the dance steps are to fast and to difficult.Her 16 year old sister who has mastered DDR hated it and it was hard for her. But most of all the woman with the big boobs and martini in hand was the last straw.

The worst toy ..waste of money
Horrible toy. The first thing we noticed was the horrible smell from the plastic mat when we took it out of the box. Setting up was easy however you need to adhere this mat to the floor with sticky pads that are provided. The sticky pads are useless to you the next time you use this mat and they are hard to peel off your floor.It is impossible to dance to this toy because it goes way too fast that even an adult can't do it. You can not slow it down. The music is absolutely terrible and sounds like one of those cheap childrens musical toys. The graphics are absolutely horrible and inappropriate for young children.This product should be recalled. I have never had such a terrible toy in the house as this. I can't return it because it was sent to us from someone in the USA as we live in Canada so this will be heading out to our next garbage dump run except we will keep the duracell batteries it came with!!

Not age appropriate
Who ever rated this for 5+ I'm betting doesn't have a 5 year old nor has even been around a 5 yr old! The three adults in the room couldn't do this game on the lowest level! Its way too difficult. A child should be able to enjoy any toy right out of the box...not this one. Maybe an early teen could enjoy it but even at that its pretty cheesy. I also doubt it would last very long. We bought this for our 5 year old niece...it's going back to the store tomorrow.
