Here's a note for you. Running gives about 600 calories per hour. Walking gives about 300 per hour. This gives about 360 per hour. And that's dependent on the songs you do. Given your level of DDR skill, that's about right. But if you go to the higher levels, you'll be burning calories comparable to running. Honestly, if you guys are going to do decent reviews, at least know what you're saying. Obviously, those 60 calories per 10 minutes are in addition to the calories burned while sitting on your ass.

Although I completely agree with your statements on how DDR looks absurd, it's very enjoyable... I am one of the people who spends time on the machines, and can play on any difficulty level. I started out as a very overweight nerd... 215 pounds, and after playing 3-4 times a week, and getting consistantly better, I lost 50 pounds in 5 months. And then a subsequent 40 pounds in the following year. With a proper diet, DDR is most certainly very good exercise, if you play on the higher difficulty levels.
