Dance With Intensity

Dance With Intensity (DWI) is a computer game for the PC that simulates the Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) music video game series.
DWI was created by an individual called Simwolf in 2001, and has since been revised considerably to reach its current state, version 2.50. It is proprietary software but can be obtained from the author's web site at no charge.
Most of the features of DDR can be simulated within DWI, with the current exception of the 3D dancing figures that appear in any of the DDR series from 1stMIX to 5thMIX or their derivatives (e.g. Dancing Stage EuroMIX and Dancing Stage PARTY EDiTiON).
However, most of the time only the steps (the arrows that appear), the actual recording (usually in MP3 or Vorbis format) and a background picture (in PNG format) are provided. Skilled players may not consider this a drawback, however, as they are too busy concentrating on the arrows to notice the background or the dancing 3D figure. Many actually consider the absence of a background animation to be an advantage. Compared to StepMania and other DDR simulators, DWI is a simple program that lacks many bells and whistles that slow the others down, giving it a fast loading time and more stability.
It should be noted that most countries' copyright laws prohibit obtaining the music of a particular track when you do not own the relevant game it came from or a CD with that music.
Other popular DDR simulators include StepMania, Flash Flash Revolution, and pydance.
