Dance Dance Resident Evil

Dance-pad adaptation of Capcom zombie franchise. 

Step your way through the directional-arrow-tiled halls of spooky Spencer Mansion!  Do a quick left-right-up-down eighth-note pattern to pick up the green herb!  Nail five double hops in a row to dodge Wesker’s attack in the Umbrella Corporation’s top secret dance labs! 

Play as any of several Resident Evil protagonists.  Chris Redfield can outskank any bro on the block; Ada Wong gets a tango bonus in her red dress; Jill Valentine is the master of pop-and-locking.  A special “zombie dog” bonus mode encourages you to play on all fours, and also to leap through windows constantly.

DDRE is a lot like Typing of the Dead except with rhythm-game dancing instead of survival horror console-style zombiebothering rather than typing instead of arcade-style lightgun zombie railshooting, and also Resident Evil rather than House of the Dead.  So basically as different from Typing of the Dead as a game could be while still being appallingly similar in both source material genre and subversive edutainment intent.
