DDR Universe screenshots, character art

Ah, Dance Dance Revolution. No other game can elicit as much fear in me as this one can. Why? I was stuck on a cheap cruise a few years ago and the only playable game (they also had King of Fighters ’98 but both joysticks were busted) that the damn ship had in their arcade was the original DDR. I spent a week on that ship and had gone from a 31 waistline to a 29 due to this game. It eats your soul, I say!

Yeah, obviously I can’t dance and am just being bitter. Anyway, DDR is getting all ready to make its next-gen debut on the Xbox 360 with Konami‘s Dance Dance Revolution Universe. This title promises to take the whole dancing game genre to a new level with high-def graphics, a massive song list, support for up to four players, and all new game modes. Exclusive Downloadable Content“>downloadable content such as song and dance steps for the game are also in the works, and players can dance with their friends in the new relay mode.

Check out the new screenshots below, as well as the single piece of character art to your right. Dance Dance Revolution Universe is slated for a February 27 release in the U.S.

More screens after the jump!
