Sometimes DDR clones find a way to actually innovate and expand on the rythm/music game standard set by Dance Dance Revolution (see Tap Tap Revolution). Unfortunately, iDance is not one of these games. In fact, it really feels like a cheap attempt to suck off the current popularity of music games by releasing a subpar [...]
