[gameprogrammer] Re: Good questions

I have heard the same thing from many people. My experience is that
exercise is the key to good health. If you exercise you will find your
self eating better and being more healthy. The problem is that most
exercise is about as much fun as watching paint dry. (I am speaking as a
man who has worn out 2 exercycles, 1 nordic track, 1 tread mill, and who
has a nice collection of free weights. I now practice a martial art and
the combination of mental challenge and physical challenge makes me want
to exercise.

If DDR does the same thing for you, then that is wonderful. I do worry
about the replay value of DDR. How long until you get bored with it?

I haven't gotten bored yet because it stays challenging as you go up in level. The pad + the game is about $100 so it's a small investment to make compared to a treadmill, and is certainly a lot more fun!

There is also an open source version on the net, if you were to buy a controller adapter. You'd still have to buy the pad though (about $60).

They also have this game in the arcade if you want to try before you buy.
