360 Dancemat games

I bought my girlfriend Dancing Stage Universe and a Dance Mat for Christmas, As she's really into Dance mat games. I wanted to get her Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2, As It's the newest one i think?

But it only seems available out of the country.

Does anyone know of any other good games on 360 that work well with the dance mat, and also, Any idea if Dance dance revolution has a chance of a PAL/European launch?

Oh and if i was to import the game, I take it, that it wouldn't work?

Lots of questions

Boom Boom Rocket has just been patched to work with the dance mat.

Cheers for that, I love the game, But it's so frustrating!

As for my question before about Dance Dance revolution, After some searching, it would appear the dancing stage and dance dance are the same game.

It's not something you probably want to hear but I doubt there will be many DDR games for the 360 in its lifetime. Reason being is the genre is really successful in Japan and well, I think you know how successful the 360 is there.

I don't have a dance mat myself as if I were to get one it would be a proper metal one imported. So I tend to stick with a game called Step Mania. Its on sourceforge and it's a great game. Obviously the only problem is you have to acquire songs and step files yourself. I have over 4GB of tunes for it as I just love the game. Can't get enough of it.

You can use USB dance mats with it as well. So you could always rig your pc up to a monitor or make a small shuttle pc and just use it as a dedicated SM pc.

Cheers for that! Got DDR and the Mat today, Its USB, wonder if it'll work in the PC with that Step Mania!

FYI, Nothing better than watching your girlfriend go to town on DDR.
