Review of Naki Instinct DANCE PAD REVOLUTION - Dance controller - Sony PlayStation 2

When I first became addicted to dancing games, specifically Dance Dance Revolution, I went right out and purchased a game for the Playstation, along with a pair of Naki dance mats.And for the first few weeks, I really had a lot of fun playing.

Then, I got better.And the pads got worse.As I moved up to harder and faster songs, the mats started sliding around significantly on the carpet.They stopped responding fast enough when I had to step on them quickly.I started to become annoyed with them very quickly, and haven't touched them in months, preferring to play on arcade machines.

The mat is sufficient for a beginning player.But the problem is that no player will stay a beginner for long, and the mat doesn't have the quality to be truly useful for more advanced players.There's also a very significant engineering flaw with the mats - often, you'll step on one of the arrows, and your foot will overlap one of the corner buttons.And when that happens, often no other button on the pad will respond until you've stopped stepping on the multiple buttons at once.When you're playing on a faster song, it becomes very easy for this to occur, and suddenly the controller is not registering steps that you're making.This is not a flaw in the Playstation either - the standard controllers work fine in this situation, and higher quality dance mats don't have that problem either.This is simply a huge engineering flaw in these pads.

So I'd recommend that you stay away from these mats, and find ones of higher quality if you plan on seriously playing dance games on your Playstation.They'll cost more, but they'll also last a lot longer.
