Fantazzztic!

It’s been two years since i played an online dancing game. The two years hiatus from casual rhythm dancing games must be a part of the dark ages of my life. Actually I was a player of dance battle audition since it’s closed beta test on it’s mother country the land of the kimchi and when I found out that it will be published locally in the pearl of the orient. My happiness thermometer explodes! But there is a time to quit and forget all about it. I quit the virtual dancing scene and moved into a bigger picture. However there will be times that your fingers or ear will crave for a sensational audio therapy the problem is you are not willing to go back. You don’t want to force yourself listening to a foreign music for a long period of hours right.

Anyway I’ve been playing this online dancing game for a couple of days now as a fearless forecast this game will surely make your previous dancing game a run for their money. Why? Because it has their very own “definition” of the best of the best feature of  those  korean dancing MMO’s

Hot Dance Party or simply STEPS is the latest addition of Cubizone (Cubinet Interactive) on their casual game roster for the international market. Developed by Perfect World Entertainment the guys who made Zhu Xian, Red Cliff or Perfect World you name it! STEPS is a game that allows you to become a star of your own show. Become what you want to be online. You can enjoy dancing and even navigating around an eye candy 3d environment, Enjoy a variety of background music ranging from different genres and language. You can dress up with a wide selections of clothes that incorporates the latest fashion trend. You can even totally personalize your appearance since they adapted the character customization of Perfect World (the online game). Tired of dancing alone? The game possess a wonderful pet system where in your pet is not just there for decoration purposes, they are capable to dance the same moves that you are doing. Just take a look at the game play video below!

The installation of their client is a bitch so i will be leaving you with this guide. Steps International Installing Guide:

1.) Download the full installer. Yes it is way too fresh because the client will start at version at Version 1 so you need to download all the manual patch. Manual patch from Version 1-50. I really don’t get the point of downloading all the patch where you can just upload an updated client because it will save our precious time to patch it from 1 – 50.

2.) Auto patching is not advisable for the reason that the auto patch server is too slow. BUT! Even though you are going to do a manual patching. You are still required to experience the pain of AUTO PATCHING! A word of warning the 33 MB to 35 MB patch from version 8-9 took me 12 Hours to finish. Yes the auto patching is ULTRA slow usually I can download a 1.25GB file in just 2 hours. Once it’s done continue the manual patch up to 50.

So let’s jive our way into the world of STEPS, and experience the groove and the moves! Dance! Feel the beat! Feel the STEPS. For more information about the game visit their official website.
