I've bought it, and I'm loving it. I understand that the games that illustrate each chapter serve as a starting point, and that you kind of orbit around it, mentioning the games that influenced it and the ones that were influenced by it. So, while commenting on the DDR chapter, I think they've failed to understand that.
The "Ultima" chapter is really nice. I've never played any of the Ultima games (and basically I've never played any CRPGs), and the chapter really sparked my attention, as I'm an avid console RPG player. I've already set up a good AppleII emulator, and I'll start playing Ultima I soon.
