''In The Groove'' (or ITG, as it's also known) is a video game unlike other video games.

Instead of a controller where you sit on your ass and mash buttons, in ''ITG'' you stand on a panel with four arrows and follow the arrow that show up on the screen, by stepping on the matching arrows. Mind-numbingly easy on the lower levels, but insanely hard in the later ones. Late-teens seem to catch on better than adults for some reason, and a ''very'' common sight in arcades is 30-somethings being put to shame by dextrous Seventeen-year-olds.

In case you haven't noticed, most of the lead is right from the DanceDanceRevolution page. This is because the two games are ''just that similar'', with ITG essentially being an American-made DDR. However, this doesn't mean the series didn't innovate or have some neat features, like Mines (don't step on them!), charts containing sections that require hitting or holding more than 2 panels at once (intended for use with your hands), and Rolls (Freeze Arrows you have to keep hitting). The game also popularized the concept of "crazy-hard" songs to the 4-panel scene, with the normal difficulty scale ranging from 1-12 "block" (compared to DDR's 1-10 at the time), with an additional 13th level for the hardest of the hard. And just look at [[http://kyle-ward.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/itg2cabinet.jpg the cabinet]]!
