It has a couple (I think the actual number is 5), but given the choice, I'd probably get ITG for PC plus a converter for whatever dance pad you may have, if possible. Then grab the patch that WILL give you all the ITG2 songs.

I actually got a chance to play ITG2 while in Orlando last weekend and I have to say it was pretty fun and I like the game and the music and the overall techno/electronic feel of the game and its songs. I was pretty indifferent about ITG before and usually underrated it in favor of DDR but I think I may have to change that reasoning.

Wonderful thread, thank you. I'm looking to play ITG sometime soon. The arcade near me with an ITG2 dedicab don't open till spring/summer though.. I'll have to live off ITG PS2 till then. Gotta go steal one.

You guys suck. "I'm gonna go play the ITG2 haxed with 1000 songs with 5 songs to play for a nickel that's 100 ft. away yay!" I'm jealous, the closest ITG is 143 miles away in Dallas....

I've never played ITG, would you say it's better than DDR, not quite as good, or about the same?

Ah, the good old debate.
I definitely prefer ITG over DDR; well, it's harder, first of all. You don't get too many 10+ footers in DDR, and they're all over the place in ITG.
Some people hate the music in ITG, I think it's fine, other people hate ITG for stealing Konami's idea...which, if I were to be fair, is true. They did steal Konami's idea to an extent, but ITG (I still think) is way cooler.

On ITG, even the 7's are fairly difficult.

I find it easyer to read the arrows in ITG as well

ITG music > DDR
ITG Graphics > DDR
ITG > DDR
ITG Stepcharts > DDR

Its all personal preference on which is better. ITG and DDR both have good songs, however ITG stepcharts have greater difficulty for those seeking it. DDR doesn't really build you up for the 10's but ITG has a gradual increase in difficulty from 9 to 12's (generally at least)

What are some good 7-8-9 Footers on ITG? On DDR i generally play with 1.5-2.0 Modifiers for everything under 200 BPM. Are the speed mods generally the same on ITG?

The speed mods I use are generally higher on ITG vs. DDR.

Yeah, you can probably go up into the 2-2.5 (<3 <3 <3 2.5) range for ITG.

As for songs, it's all personal preference, but some of my favorites (These are just songs that have any of 7, 8, 9 difficulties, without really regarding how hard they are in their individual ranges):

Land of the Rising Sun
Mellow
Cryosleep
Sweet World
Spacy Crazy Girl
Life of a Butterfly
Tell
Monolith
Bloodrush

Good guide, but I wont play ITG for awile, unless I get bored with DDR. I like DDR better because it is easier to play, less difficult, and as far as I've seen, it is more popular.

P.S. I have never played ITG before

I dont plan to move up to ITG any time soon. DDR is plenty hard (I.E. PSMO, Maxx Unlimited

) but ITG may be much harder, but DDR is more fun and is easier to play. ITG has way to much modifiers to get mixed up with, but DDR is much more simple. I'd go with DDR all the way
