All the reviews will be based off of Heavy and Challenge steps. I will also review from Z to A. I will bring back a another Extra point if you have a video or a Half of a point if you add lyrics.



YOU RAISE ME UP

Heavy 5/6

I love these steps alot. They were very creative and well synced also. My only problem is the jump freezes (especially the one at the very beginning).

Extra 4/4

Pretty good banner and background. Also, I this is a really good song choice.

Overall 9/10

Really good song for me to start public reviewing. This could possibly be one of my top picks.


UNDER THE SEA

Hard 4/6

These steps are pretty good. It followed the vocals a little too much at certain parts and the last couple of steps could have used a little more variety.

Extra 3.5/4

And I thought the A-teens only remade ABBA songs. I don't really like the song that much. The banner and background are pretty good though.

Overall 7/10

Pretty good simfile. Had some fun steps but it's not one of my favorites.


TORI NO UTA

Heavy 5.5/6

This had some really fun steps. What I didn't like the 16th notes in the middle of the song which you could have left out.

Extra 4/4

I love the song choice. The banner was good and the background was allright. I also like the video.

Overall 9.5/10

This is one of my favorite simfiles so far in bracket 1. I will have lots playing this sim over and over again.


THESE EMOTIONS

Heavy 3/6

These was an excessive amount of freezes in the song. And theres was a little bit of double stepping also. I think this should have been a 8 instead of a 7 footer.

Extra 3/4

The banner was good. The background looks like a cover from the cd. The song choice was good but it was a tad long.

Overall 6/10

This simfile is alright. it could have been a little better


THE GREAT BLUE SKY AND THE STARS ABOVE

Heavy 2.5/6

The steps were starting off really good with some good gallops and then it starts going downhill with some repetitive steps, double stepping, and and an off sync 8th note stream in the middle of the song.

Extra 1.5/4

The background and banner were a little bit on the ugly side, but they do fit the song I guess. The song choice is really good (who doesn't like the music from Kirby?) but the instant cut off at the end was pretty badly made.

Overall 4/10

A dissapointing simfile. It could have been better with a few improvements stepwise and making the banner and background a bit nicer.


SHAKE IT DOWN

Heavy 5.5/6

Really good steps. It had a small part of double stepping but it was really good.

Extra 4/4

The background and banner were pretty good and I liked the fact that you added lyrics to your simfile.

Overall 9.5/10

Another one of my favorites in the bracket. I will be playing this alot also.


SEVEN

Heavy 4/6

I liked the steps in this simfile a little bit. But there were some things you shouldn't have done in the simfile. There was quite a bit of double stepping and the 16th note streams (which also had double stepping) didn't work out very well.

Extra 4/4

Good song choice and a nice looking Background and banner. Nothing I see wrong here.

Overall 8/10

Not a bad simfile, but it could have been a little better.


Rock Steady

Heavy 3/3

These steps are good. I don't really see anything wrong.

Challenge 1.5/3

The steps are too hard than DDR standards. The steps themselves were quite fun and had some good steps. These should have been placed in Edit instead of Challenge mode.

Extra 3.5/4

The background and banner is quite nice. The song is a bit on the annoying side though. I do love the bpm changes at the beginning and the end of the song.

Overall 8/10

Really good steps, challenge mode ruined it for you. I still enjoy this simfile and I will play it quite a bit.


RAGNAROK ONLINE TEMP IT UP

Hard 3/6

I didn't really enjoy these steps alot. There was some double stepping freezes and a bunch of other normal double stepping.

Extra 3.5/4

Good background and banner, but the song felt like it dragged on for far too long. I didn't really like the song that much either.

Overall 6.5/10

It is better than some of the other simfiles. But I don't like this simfile alot.


RADIO STAR

Heavy 6/6

My favorite steps so far in the bracket. It was simple, but it was just so much fun.
I see nothing wrong with this simfile.

Extra 4/4

Good background and banner. Good song choice. The whole thing feels like a DDR song.

Overall 10/10

My favorite simfile in the bracket so far.


PARASITE WORLD

Heavy 1.5/6

The steps were a little fun. There were a few off beat steps but it could have been worse. I have to take off 3 points for not finishing your file though.

Extra 1/4

The background and banner were really ugly. You could have made the song a little louder also.

Overall 2.5/10

This could have been a 5.5 (maybe even higher if you finished your steps to this.) I won't be playing this again.


ONE HEART

Heavy 4/6

The steps were kind of fun. You could have done much more in the chorus of the song instead of the turning freezes. During the slow guitar part, the 8th note stream that you put didn't really go well since that was the 2nd hardest part of the song.

Extra 4/4

Nice background and banner. The song choice is a good one as well. Nothing wrong here.

Overall 8/10

A pretty solid simfile. I really enjoy this simfile alot.


LET ME STAY

Heavy 5.5/6

I loved these step. Nothing wrong that I can see except for some step jumping that insn't really apropriate for a 7 footer.

Extra 4/4

Good background and banner. I like the song choice also.

Overall 9.5/10

Another one of my favorite simfiles in the bracket.


KAGEHIKA

Heavy 3/6

The steps kind of remind me of Tsugaru, but it's not as good as Tsugaru. I didn't really like the steps, which had some 32nd notes which could have been changed to 16th notes or jumps and some double stepping.

Extra 4/4

Nicely made background and banner. I like the videos you put in the file.

Overall 7/10

This could have been alot worse, but it's not really a simfile I'll be playing very often.


HIKARI

Heavy 2.5/6

I don't like these steps. There was an excesive amount of double stepping. The 16th notes at certain parts weren't really apropriate either.

Extra 4/4

The background and banner were okay. The fact that you added a video saved you from getting a 3 out of 4.

Overall 6.5/10

This feels more like one of those generic anime simfiles you find in the database of bemanistyle than a song fit for DDR.


GOLDDIGGERS

Heavy 6/6

Nothing wrong here.

Extra 3/4

Whats with the wine glass in the background and banner? It doesn't fit the song. I don't really like the song choice either.

Overall 9/10

A great simfile with flawless steps as well.


GO BERSERK

Heavy 1.5/3

There steps were allright. The parts with the 8th note jump step jump part seems quite painful for a song with this fast a bpm and long.

Challenge 1.5/3

This is about the same as the heavy mode steps, except they're harder (obviously). These steps are pretty average, but these are the best 10 footer steps I have played in OSC in my opinion.

Extra 2/4

The background and banner are okay. I hate the song choice though.

Overall 5/10

Definitely not one of my favorite simfiles in the DDR division.


GENO'S WOODS

Heavy 2.5/6

First of all, this should be a 9 footer. The steps were really repetitive and had some freeze parts that could have been substituted for more unique steps.

Extra 4/4

Background and banner look quite nice. I love this song choice also, but I would have preferred the original Super Mario RPG version instead.

Overall 6.5/10

Well, it could have been worse. Not one of my favorite sims either.


EMOTICONS

Heavy 5.5/6

I enjoyed these steps alot. The only problem was the double stepping near the end of the first chorus.

Extra 4/4

Really Nice Artwork in the background and banner. Pretty good song choice also.

Overall 9.5/10

This is probably another one of my favorite simfiles in the bracket.


DREAM OF YOU

Heavy 5.5/6

Really good steps. The 16th notes near the end were a bit harsh though.

Extra 4/4

Nothing wrong here. Good song choice, banner, and background.

Overall 9.5/10

Another one of my favorites in the bracket.


DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI

Heavy 3.5/6

The steps were kind of repetitive. It was follwing the vocals most of the time and following the beat of the music rather awkwardly.

Extra 2/4

The banner is awesome. The background is okay though. This is a pretty unoriginal song choice (what with so many people already making steps to this song). One thing that bothers me is that you have an edit chart with no steps. You could have at least deleted that if you weren't going to put anything in it.

Overall 5.5/10

This isn't the worst Dragostea Din Tei simfile I have played, but it's definitely not the best one I've played.


DOMINO

Heavy 5/6

The steps were good in certain spots. There was a bit of double stepping throughout the song though. I did like the six 16th notes you used at the end of the song which fit very well.

Extra 2.5/4

The background and banner were quite nice. The song choice was good. But the BPM changes were unnecessary throughout the song. The videos you edited were pretty good. This would have been a 2 out of 4 if it weren't for the video editing.

Overall 7.5/10

These steps would have turned out pretty good if you only got rid of the BPM gimmick.


DISCO DOG

Heavy 6/6

These are my favorite steps in heavy. Good Job!

Extra 4/4

Good song choice. I love the background and the banner was pretty good.

Overall 10/10

Forget Radio Star, this is my favorite simfile in the bracket.


BLOW ME AWAY

Heavy 1/6

I don't like these steps at all. There was some unnecessary jumps and freezes throughout the song. The 16th notes were harsh in certain parts. Pretty repetitive and boring.

Extra 0/4

What does Halo have to do with Breaking Benjamin? The banner and background were ugly and inapproprite. The song choice was pretty bad also.

Overall 1/10

My least favorite simfile in the bracket without a doubt.


AI~N! DANCE NO UTA

Heavy 6/6

Nothing wrong here either. Another one of favorites.

Extra 4/4

Perfect presentation. The video is rather strange (in a funny way).

Overall 10/10

It's hard to decide between this simfile and Disco Dog which is my favorite simfile. Hmmmm, I guess I'll say both are my favorite for now.
EDIT: I made up my mind now. I'll choose this as my favorite since you had a video.


ACTION RADIUS

Heavy 2/6

I don't like these steps very much. It felt like a really repetitive version of Night In Motion. The double freezes at the end were unnecessary and really boring and there was alot of double stepping.

Extra .5/4

The background was ugly and I disliked the song choice. The only reason your getting a .5 is because the banner was okay.

Overall 2.5/10

I've always wondered why 10 footers sucked these past few OSC's, I hope in the future there will be a good 10 footer. Oh well, maybe next OSC perhaps?


24

Heavy 4/6

The steps were allright, but the one thing that bothered me the most was the use of 32nd notes where there could have been 16th notes, even 24th notes (maybe)

Extra 4/4

The background and banner is really good. The song choice is really good also.

Overall 8/10

A pretty good simfile. It could have been alot better.


My Top 3

1st. Ai~n Dance No Uta

2nd. Disco Dog

3rd. Radio Star
