If you don’t have it and you own a gaming console then get it.

Cheat Code Central
DDR Universe 3 is the best entry in the series so far. It has managed to take a fairly run-of-the-mill arcade-style dancing game and has breathed new life into it.

So, if you’ve worn out a few dance pads in your day, you’ll probably want to skip this trip to the digital disco. However, if you’re brand spankin’ new to the DDR universe, you won’t find a better place to start your rump-shakin’ career.

Worth Playing
If you feel like dancing and have skipped over the previous two installments, this is a pretty good starting point, despite some of its flaws. If you made the investment in the previous titles, this is a good buy since it is the best of the three, although you should only expect a newer song list and better single-player experience out of the deal.

Official Xbox Magazine
Unfortunately, in the few areas where this version aims for freshness, it comes up flat. [Holiday 2008, p.83]

IGN
The bottom line here is that Dance Dance Revolution 3 isn’t worth checking out if you’ve ever glanced at a DDR game before.
