Pump It Up: Exceed

Background:
Pump It Up: Exceed is the first game in the Korean dancing series Pump It Up to come on a console besides the PC. This is a remake of the fifth Pump It Up arcade game, Pump It Up: Exceed. The series began in 1999 and, although machines were only released in Korea, where the game was made, many units exist worldwide. New songs will be playable in this version that were not in the arcade as well.

Gameplay:
Pump It Up is a dancing/rhythm game that everybody will enjoy, but it is a little different than its competition games, In The Groove, and Dance Dance Revolution. In Dance Dance Revolution, you just had four arrows that pointed in the north, south, east, and west directions. However, Im Pump It Up, the arrows are shifted forty five degrees counter clockwise, and they are in the corner of the dance pad. There are two red arrows in the front of the mat, and in the back of the mat, there are two blue arrows. And then you have a yellow center step that you normally stand on. Freeze arrows also play a little differently than DDR and ITG. In DDR, you only get one point for holding a single arrow. In Pump It Up, you get two points per beat. So overall, Pump It Up will give the fans a challenge that some have been dying for.
