1. Reading through your original post again, you imply you can't get high scores by just waggling.But then you say "so what" if you can get high scores by waggling. Either you have to dance or you don't. Hence, you didn't clarify any importance of dancing.

2. But not being required to dance is the problem. If it doesn't actually require me to dance, then what's the point? At that rate I might as well dance to a DVD or something.

3. What if shooters allowed you to kill enemies without aiming the cross hair at the target? Or what if I get head shots by shooting their foot? Its just not a satisfying experience.

I added the numbers to the quote so I can respond

1. Yes, I imply that you can't get high scores by just waggling in JD2. What I then say is that even if it were the case (which from my experience it isn't), it still wouldn't matter - at least to me and everyone I have seen play the game.  So yes you have to dance to get high scores, but even if it was possible to cheat to get them, no one I know would.Why? Read the following.

2. Adventure games have walkthroughs on the Internet. If you read the walkthroughs in their entirety, you are not required to try to solve anything at all while playing the game. Action games have cheat codes. If you use these cheat codes, no skill at all is required to beat these games. So I might as well just rent a DVD of a good murder mystery or an excellent action movie, the story, pace and production values will be of much higher quality

3. But Easy mode in many shooters means just that - mechanisms are set in place requiring far less skill to beat the game. So what I would do in such cases is not play Easy mode.

You're really going on a tangent. I'll just give brief answers.

1. If dancing isn't required it doesn't feel like much of a game to me.

2. Most people just refer to walkthroughs when they get stuck. Cheats are more of a retro thing, most people don't bother with them and most games don't have them. Games have more compelling stories than movies in my opinion and they don't wrap it up in 90 minutes so they can be deeper, have more twist, etc.

3. Your analogy is just terrible.

We're done. Good day sir.
