It isn't quite as fun, but if you end up liking it it's a pretty good gateway into the other games and I personally think it's a bit easier than Guitar Hero, but some people disagree. Stepmania on the keyboard is kind of lame considering other Hand-Games have a lot more buttons (Pop'n has 9-key) while DDR has 4 (Pump it Up, another dancan' game has 5 buttons). Also if you have a PSP I highly recommend the DJ Max series (Hot Tunes is my favorite, Portable 3 is kind of lame). It's a clear-cut Beatmania rip-off, but the charts are tailored for the PSP and it's a fun way to get yourself accustomed to these sorts of games. It also has easy modo which is lacking in IIDX."}
