Well here's my part of the public review

First off, things that does NOT enter in consideration in rating :

- Choice of the song (UNLESS it is really really bad ! Then it'll be extra points removed !)
- BPM Speed (I don't care if the song is slow or fast...UNLESS same as above)
- Song Fade Out. I know it’s sometimes impossible to end a song without a fade out because the original version of that song has a fadeout...So there will be no blame for a song fadeout...if there is, tell me !

What I give most importance to :

-The steps themselves of course (matching the song, step-friendly, possible at least !)
-The graphics…I mean more specificly the originality of the graphics !
-Song lenght, song cut :P
-Esthetical matters : (Good song preview, good step ratings)

-=> 24 <=-

Total 9/10 ! Really great song (9/10 is really good for me lol). I guess heavy difficulty could have more originality.

Steps 5/6 ... Steps were good, but because of the song itself, somehow repetitive. (I point out the heavy difficulty mostly...the rest was really good !)
Extra 4/4 ... The graphics were nice, the song quality also ! Really Cool !

-=> Action Radius <=-

Total 6/10 Well the song was really cool ! What I didn'T like though is the whole jumping thing..gribbit !

Steps 3/6 The steps were okay ! There's 3 things I want to point out here though. 1) The heavy difficulty is overrated ! Macho gang was 9 and had a lot of annoying jumps (drop out also). 2) I don't like the whole jumping concept in heavy mode. 3) The beginning of the song and those arrows in such a quiet part of the song...ugh !
Extra 3/4 The whole thing is appealing ! There's something itching me that I can't give 4 though ! (something else than being cheap !)

-=> Ai~n! Dance No Uta <=-

Total 10/10 That guy in a white mask would really scare the shit out of kids HAHA ! Good job !

Steps 6/6 Oh yeah ! The steps were really good !
Extra 4/4 An appealing video with all the background and all ! Nothing to complaint about here ! Way to go.

-=> Blow Me Away <=-

Total 5/10 Hmmm…It was ok, but it was not enough for me I guess :S . Better luck next time !

Steps 3/6 Unecessary Freeze Steps, The Light difficutly is DEFINITIVELY a 4 ! ( 3 usually uses basic left right/up down jump and are slower in BPM), the double steps in such a fast song (and the 16th notes) in a fast BPM song is a PAIN ! :P
Extra 2/4 …Did you really even dare take a videogame character background to make it as a DDR song background ? Sorry to sound harsh, but that’s LAME !!! I suggestly recommend you not doing such thing unless the song actually concerns the game in a really obvious way. Graphics could have been worked ! Really !

-=> Disco Dog <=-

Total 8.5/10 Haha ! Really funny song, but slack the streaming will yah ! Nobody could blame you for that !

Steps 5/6 Really nice steps ! BUT you know, it’s not a bad thing when there’s no arrows once in a while… you did stop streaming when there was some freeze arrows, but that’s all. But really, that’s about it.
Extra 3.5/4 HAHAHA ! Nice graphics ! I like the dog on the stage ! I think the background graphics just needed a little finishing touch (make the background as uniform as possible…or something similar). It’s such a small manner though, I didn’t feel like removing a whole point for it ! So only .5 

-=> Domino <=-

Like I said in another part of the forum, I’ll cry in a corner for this one lol (I’m the author).

-=> Dragonstea Din Tei <=-

Total 3/10 … You’ll NEED to improve in every aspect so it can look at least descent !!! This is all I have to say !

Steps 2/6 Steps based only on lyrics ? Realllllyyyy bad thing ! That’s evil ! The steps aren’t original and somewhat too much predictable to be fun (well…when you know the song at least). I was not impressed by the steps at all… But at least it was synced and it was linked to the song in some way. I suggest strongly that you don’t do steps based on the lyrics.
Extra 1/4 That’s a really frustrating part. Your banner is a plane of the videoclip with …that guy that was chanting the song in front of cam ? First that’s not even appealing and he has no link with the original song (except one of a stupid internet joke)…so bad graphics. Not only the graphics were bad, but it also brings it to the point that at first, I didn’t want to try the song because it gave a really horrible impression. At LEAST the background is somewhat okay…

-=> Dream Of You <=-

Total 9/10 Aww ! If it weren’t for the 16th notes in the heavy steps, I think it would be a hit !

Steps 5/6 NICE STEPS ! The thing I didn’t like is in the heavy difficulty…those…sudden throw of 16th arrows ! It gives me the creeps.
Extra 4/4 Graphics were nice, the song was appealing, very DDRish, all cool ! 

-=> Emoticons <=-

Total 10/10 ! I really did see that hard work was put there and steps were excellent ! Great Job !

Steps 6/6 I liked the steps in overall everywhere !
Extra 4/4 …The graphics ! The DDR feeling ! It’s all there !

-=> Geno’s Woods <=-

Total 5/10 Well…You should try to do something more DDR and less KB next time, it was all really going well with the song and the graphics were good, but that’s not DDR !

Steps 4/6 The steps were okay ! But they seem to be too much for performance than fun…But it follows the song and all ! So I didn’t removed too much points
Extra 1/4 That’s where you really go down. This song doesn’t have the feeling of DDR at ALL ! By the song itself (and mostly affected by the steps), it more looks like a very easy KB division song. When the feelings not there, it’s just not there. So it gets a major penality in the extra points.

-=> Go Berzerk <=-

Total 6/10 Meh...I’ve been generous. It’s awfully repetitive and annoying for a song. You get the points majorly because the ''beginner to standard'' difficulty are ok.

Steps 4/6 Steps were...not bad. I would not blame the 3 first difficulty, but heavy and challenge started to annoy me with the 15 arrows streams ! It’s too much.
Extra 2/4 Sooo the graphics were okay and it’s somewhat appealing ! but I removed one point because the song is annoying and AWFULY , but AWFULY repetitive ! Either it’s not a song for DDR, or either there were other parts and you could cut that song elseway so it sounds better.

-=> Golddiggers <=-

Total 9/10 Günther seems to be the E-Rotic next generation here in bemanistyle.com haha. Fun song !

Steps 5/6 Steps were not really made harshly professional, but it’s not a bad thing ! It’s obvious that they are there for fun. So I think the steps are not PERFECT, but nearly they are !
Extra 4/4 All the rest is awesome (I like the golden background

)

-=> Hikari <=-

Total 7/10 That smfile HAD POTENTIAL ! really ! I think if you would put some more time into it doing more original steps and actually put more time in that smfile, you could make it worth it a lot ! But for now, it’s has cheap steps.

Steps 4/6 Hmmm... Interesting steps and they are really going with the flow of the song. They seem carelessly thrown in there sometimes though (I point the standard difficulty in the beginning part and the stream/jump in the heavy difficulty). It could have been worked more than that !
Extra 3/4 Graphics are nice ! Everything seems in high quality (especially the video and the song !). Too bad you didn’t bother adjusting the preview song so it would start at the refrain or something.

-=> Kagekiha <=-

Total 7/10 Really nice songs ! Too bad for the steps I don’t understand, the stop and the syncing ! Otherwise, it would have a perfect score from me !

Steps 3/6 Steps were really nice ! There some steps that seem to not belong there though (especially in hard difficulty !...those nasty 32nd notes...some of them could have been easely 16th notes !). I enjoyed the intense streaming after the previous three steps, jumps, and small streams though ! There’s also that nasty stop that somewhat killed the beat of your song. Stops are not easy so I don’t really blame you. A good advice I would give you though, is to reduce the stop length so it could give you more space for your arrows. It would do the same (effing stop !) effect, except you could place a 8th note before the 4th note (next to the stop). I think it would solve the problem

. It doesn’t matter if you don’t start at the beginning of a measure. You don’t see the measure or the lines when you play anyway

. You should also correct your syncing...In fast songs, it’s okay when it’s a little late, but that’s obviously too early.
Extra 4/4 The video quality seems to be really high ! (My computer lagged all the way lol). Graphics are nice also...The DDR feeling is there, so nothing to complain. Yay for you !

-=> Last Regrets (Xmas Dance Mix) <=-

Total 7/10 Sooo some steps improvement and better syncing would help the case

. The song’s sample should be adjusted because the song has an appealing refrain ! (especially the part they sing loudly).

Steps 4/6 The steps are smooth and cool ! I would blame the syncing though which seems to be more ITG than DDR (steps too late ;P ). I would also blame that it could have better steps...but slightly better steps...not much of a problem
Extra 3/4 Ahhh ! That songs remind me of a videoclip I watched of Card Captor Sakura back in my manga maniac days :P. Noooo the song preview is not adjusted ! *evil*. Oh well !

-=> Let Me Stay <=-

Total 9/10 Fun Fun Fun Fun and still Fun ! The kind of song people that likes dance/disco would do over and over again.

Steps 5/6 I wouldn’t say that I think the steps are perfect, but they are really really good ! I like all the fun you included in that song. What I liked also is the way the vocals are used as some kind of backup before the steps follow the song. It really did turn out well. I think you really showed here that steps following lyrics can really be your friend as a part of the song here !
Extra 4/4 The song’s cut and quality and the graphics quality have nothing to blame !

-=> One Heart <=-

Total 8/10 Has potential and is step friendly for beginners at DDR

.

Steps 5/6 I think the steps are really friendly... especially for those who are starting with DDR ! So it’s important and appreciated that someone does a song with a low feet rating. I think they are a bit too simplistic though...It could have more potential than that.
Extra 3/4 Unfortunately, I know the original song (lol). So I would remove points because the song starts at the moment you hear a sound. I think you should have kept the introduction... mostly because it would give an idea of the BPM to the one who plays and this ‘song length’ is excluded from the overall song lenght (since it’s just an intro :P).

-=> Parasite World <=-

Total N/A ... Uh Oh ! Huston, we have a problem ! The heavy difficulty is not even complete ! Sooo I guess there will be no rating for that song. It seem quite cool at first though. I would blame the quality of the song though.

-=> Radio Star <=-

Total 10/10 Oh yeah ! Pump that bass up ! Really really really DDRish ! Go you !

Steps 6/6 What can I say...they are excellent ! Again here, we see a perfect example of how to use steps from lyrics as a backup before the steps follow something else in the song. Sooo thumbs up !
Extra 4/4 The song has definitively that DDR feeling, the graphics are really nice ! EDIT : My mystake ! The sample IS adjusted, you get a perfect score !

-=> Ragnarok Online TeMP it UP <=-

Total 8/10 Just some minor personal concerns, but this song does worth it !

Steps 5/6 Well the steps were excellent actually ! What I didn’t like si the holds and arrows in the heavy difficulty. I know it’s based on personal opinion, but it’s a public review...So I give myself the rights to criticize :P.
Extra 3/4 Hmmm this song strangely seems to be inspired from the ITG song Hybrid (from Machinae Supremacy)... So it felt more ITG than DDR IMO. The graphics are kind of...not quite hot also ! So I’ll just remove a whole point for those minor concerns.

-=> Rock Steady <=-

Total 9/10 That song is flowing with originality ! I really did like it !

Steps 6/6 The steps are excellent really ! It keeps those feets busy alright ! Sooo two thumbs up for that part
Extra 3/4 Excellent graphics

. The song is really appealing also. I may sound stupid to blame something though, but the challenge difficulty could have been easier ! Being 11 just make this song fall into the ITG category (since DDR never exceeds 10). It was just way too hard for DDR. I would say keep things simple here and everything would be alright !

-=> Seven <=-

Total 7/10 Not bad...Steps could be better though (especially those streaming of 16th notes !!! Like what happened there !? )

Steps 4/6 I would say the steps here are descent...somewhat repetitive. That part of 16th streaming sound seemed to be quite a problem. It was okay in standard, but in heavy part, I barely did understand why they stop streaming and then came back. I think there’s double steps also (or is it me that doesn’t know how to turn ?). The ending of the song seem to be sooner than it is really also
Extra 3/4 The graphics are nice and all (and the song is from DM Ashura !). You forgot to adjust the sample of the sooong !!!

-=> Shake It Down <=-

Total 9/10 An excellent simfile ! How close to DDR you could be here ! Are you from Konami ? lol.

Steps 5/6 Hmmm...I disliked the steps a bit, but they seem to be alright !
Extra 4/4 The video ! the background, the writing, the colors ! That’s pure DDR ! haha (and it looks good too !).

-=> The Great Blue Sky (and the stars above) <=-

Total N/A ...Wellll I decided to not bother to rate this song because...it’s maybe better I don’t. I hate songs that are taken from videogames and just put on DDR just like that. You gotta be ORIGINAL and takes some songs that actually has a beat and that would fit in the game ! Thank you !

-=> These Emotions <=-

Total 5/10 Awww ! That song had potential ! I think it would be way better if you could revise the steps ! Better luck next time !

Steps 2/6 That’s where it gets a major downside. The steps are not always following the song and it doesn’t seem flowing as well. A LOT of useless freezes ! I think steps needs a major improvement.
Extra 3/4 Like I said, that song had good potential ! It’s just the way it has all been put together that is not quite right.

-=> Tori No Uta <=-

Total 8/10 Steps are plain fun. Steps could be revised though.

Steps 4/6 The steps here were really nice ! They are not perfect and could be better of course, but still fun ! I think the beginning of the song should be later though. Sooo a relatively high score here.
Extra 4/4 The graphics are good, the video quality and song quality is EXCELLENT ! It’s also a fine choice for a song in my opinion since it’s so smooth...so nothing to blame.

-=> Under The Sea <=-

Total 8/10 Interesting song. Steps are too much focused on lyrics unfortunately.

Steps 4/6 The steps were really entertaining and were also really well putted. I think that the time that the steps actually followed the song is too short and that it followed the lyrics too long. Sooo too much lyrics steps.
Extra 4/4 The quality of the song is good I guess...the graphics are excellent ! It has a funky groove... Hurray for Little Mermaid (lol).

-=> You Raise Me Up (7" Anthem Mix) <=-

Total 8/10 Really great song ! The graphics are just splendid !

Steps 5/6 This rocked ! I really liked it ! It was not perfect, but it was fun and playable alright ! A bit repetitive I guess.
Extra 3/4 Where did you get such graphics ? They are really nice (and goes well with the song). I would only point out the strange...cut in the song when the signer signs in a higher pitch...I don’t know if there would be another way to cut it. If there is, it would be better.

It’s also a fine choice for a song in my opinion since it’s so smooth...so nothing to blame. -=> Under The Sea <=- Total 8/10 Interesting song. Steps are too much focused on lyrics unfortunately. Steps 4/6 The steps were really entertaining and were also really well putted. I think that the time that the steps actually followed the song is too short and that it followed the lyrics too long. Sooo too much lyrics steps. Extra 4/4 The quality of the song is good I guess...the graphics are excellent ! It has a funky groove... Hurray for Little Mermaid (lol). -=> You Raise Me Up (7" Anthem Mix) <=- Total 8/10 Really great song ! The graphics are just splendid ! Steps 5/6 This rocked ! I really liked it ! It was not perfect, but it was fun and playable alright ! A bit repetitive I guess. Extra 3/4 Where did you get such graphics ? They are really nice (and goes well with the song). I would only point out the strange...cut in the song when the signer signs in a higher pitch...I don’t know if there would be another way to cut it. If there is, it would be better.
