That's Right!
I got the chance to Stream the Alpha for what would eventually become known as Dance Dance Revolution GRAND PRIX for the PC. And My Impressions on the Alpha are pretty positive. Though the Song Options were limited, it DID feel like I was playing DDR A20 PLUS right in the comfort of my own home.

However, after the Announcement and Details regarding the Official Game were released, I am very uncertain about playing it again due to the Horrible Payment System you have to deal with just to get any level of accessibility to all of the songs you may want to play. The Fact that in order to EVEN SAVE your Scores, You MUST Purchase the 'DDR Basic' Subscription for $15/Month is infuriating to me. It's made even worse by the fact that you MUST purchase Tickets through the PASELI System ON TOP OF THAT to even access 'Arcade Premium Play', which functions similarly to A20 PLUS in the Arcades.

You're better off waiting to get chances to play DDR A20 PLUS at your nearest Round 1 or Dave & Buster's... Which I'm crossing my fingers for the FUTURE Augusta, GA Dave & Buster's to have one...

I can ONLY justify DDR GRAND PRIX if you have NO D&B or R1 Locations that you can access, and this is your best means of Playing DDR Without Consoles like the PS2, XBOX, XBOX 360, and Wii.

And Even THEN, it still feels like a stretch.

Which Leaves me with One Question:
Do Scores on this Game Count as Arcade Scores or Console Scores? My Arguments for each are as follows:
Arcade Score: It uses the A20 PLUS UI, and the Gameplay is almost exactly the same as in A20 PLUS.
Console Score: Synchronization Options are a thing, which are Non-Existent in the Arcade Version of A20 PLUS. In addition, this is on the PC, not on an Official Arcade Machine.

If Anyone can provide a firm answer to this, leave it down in the Comments Section.

Now Onto the Song and Chart:
Has it REALLY Been 8 Years since I AA'd this? Man does time fly...
This Song is a Classic, No Question. But it's not something I'd listen to very often. As for the Expert Chart, I don't know if it's just me or the chart, but I cannot get a Good Score on This. In Fact, The Lowest Great Count I've gotten on this is on the PS2 Version of DDR EXTREME, where I got 16 Greats. I'm sure I could go lower if I improve my step accuracy. Otherwise, It's another AA on the List.

Thanks for Watching!
