My girlfriend bought this game as she had seen the commercials and thought it would be fun to add to her workout routine. So she bought it and told me she was going to try it the next day. I got home from work and asked her how it went. "Never again," she told me. She said it was way too fast and way too hard. Now, being a gamer and having a few skills, I figured "how hard can it be?" So I close the window shades and pop it in. Kinda fumbled through the menu to figure out how to create a profile. After that I set it to "easy" and then selected the "Calypso, basic steps" tutorial. So this shapely Latin gal appears on the screen (so far so good) and says we're going to do the "basic steps of Calypso". We start by slowly taking half a step forward - twice. "Good," says the avatar, "let's speed it up." We take a half step forward a little faster - twice. "Good, let's go to full tempo," she says. So we take the same steps forward - twice at full speed. "Good," she says, "now let's add this..." At this point the avatar goes from taking a half step forward to leaping from left to right, throwing her hands in the air and a host of other things. "Say freakin' what?!!!" I scream at the TV. Not any way on this good earth could I have even begun to try to do what she was doing. This is the "easy tutorial"? Criminey how hard is the rest of the game? To give it a fair chance I tried another "easy tutorial" dance step with the same result. The pace of just the tutorials is WAY too fast which obviously makes the rest of the game near impossible. You're going to need to have a ton of patience and a high tolerance for frustration to get through this game.
