Good rhythm. When you're hitting the button at the right time the flash
where it tells you the button to press is brighter, use that as a visual key
of when to press the buttons if you rhythm is off. There is a dance club
practice at if need be. From Carl's house go west until the road curves
follow to the t intersection. Make a right there and then make the second
right. The dance club is the big white building on the right.

They have wierd controls that aren't explained ingame. For the earlier
car "dancing" mission, you had to use the numpad as a cursor pad, then
for Life's a Beach you get to use WASD.

I'm trying to recall if the disco is open. I think it should be, it's
a little grey circle on the map, not too far from your safe house and
the train station. Pop in there and practice your moves. You won't
lose anything and it'll get you used to the buttons, which should be
exactly the same AND it uses the same tune at first so you can even
get used to the rhythm

I strongly disagree. There's realism, and there's gameplay. Realism is
neat, unless it seriously injures gameplay. This would, IMHO, since it
would be very frustrating to wait on cars before a red light instead
of using the sidewalks everytime you have to get from A to B (which is
almost all the time). Same goes for speeding.
I hope the next GTA will allow you to do more with buildings. E.g.
instead of just being textures slammed on an impenetrable block,
they'd be buildings that can be damaged, entered, maybe even torn
down.

Yeah. I second this. (Both paragraphs.)
CJ doesn't have TIME to obey traffic laws. Since it's a game, that's cool.

He probably doesn't know to use the WASD and only pay attention to the
arrows and getting hitting the right one inside of the circle. Don't pay
attention to the music, score or anything else, focus on the circle and
hitting the right direction key of W A S or D for up down left and right.

Why would you do W,A,S,D when you have arrow keys on the keyboard with
the actual arrows on them? Just wondering, because it seems to me that
the latter would be even easier.
I normally play with the controller by the way. I noticed that the dance
mission was a lot harder with the controller. Apparently the travel of
the analogue stick imposes more of a delay than a regular keypress,
making the timing just off on every occasion. So you have to be a little
earlier.. I switched to the keyboard arrow keys and got a really
high score (much more than was required). Too bad this doesn't work on
the OG Loc mission though, because that requires a numpad which my
laptop doesn't have.

The arrow keys don't work for that. Only WASD, it's odd because for the
bouncing car, you have to use the numpad

That's not true, since I used those for this mission. Didn't change the
default keybindings either.. I'm not sure whether I set controls to
mouse+keyboard or controller at that point though.

Me too. The arrow keys on a standard keyboard below the
Insert-Home-PageUp Etc. cluster work for dancing.

I don't see how? You don't really have time to check what markings
your keys have during these dance things I think. Anyway, many PC
players probably have played a few FPS games and so WASD keys are
pretty much reflex.

It's remappable, I used IJKL for that, since my small keyboard doesn't
have a numpad and arrow keys aren't directly accessible either.
