  1. DDR aficionados will be disappointed by the lack of the Oni mode. However, one would be hard pressed to find another game with this many options, levels (songs), and customization in this game.

    To be fair, the game is essentially DDRMAX with slightly better graphics and new songs. I would have preferred it if the new graphics and songs were an add on disc… as nothing is really added to the game to differentiate it.

    Same as it ever was -- which is not a bad thing, by any means.
  4. With the release of DDRMAX2, the US is finally getting a collection of songs that contains a few hits from this country rather than relying on the Eurodance and Japanese pop music for which the series is known.

    While the DDR formula is essentially fun, this game does nothing to expand upon it, and features WAY too many songs from previous games. What's the point? Assuming you've bought this game and invested in dance pads, you will do one of two things: 1. like it and buy the others in the series, or 2. dislike it and not buy the others. I have all the others, and the last thing I want to hear when I pop in a new DDR game are songs from previous versions. Especially ones that weren't that good to begin with. Thankfully, this version has fewer of the undanceable trip machine and tribal songs that had absolutely no rhythm and were for hardcore DDR dorks who only followed the arrows and didn't care about the music. The addition of more real songs and their videos is nice, but I can't help but think that these edited versions should be a little longer. Expand

    This game is total bullcrap. The inventers this game were probably bored and had nothing better to do than make this bullshit. They are also so stupid that even a 3 year old could tell that they didn't even make it past pre-k. Someone needs to put the inventers of this cheese-ass puke-chunk game in their place by taking the cheese-ass puke-chunk game, DDR, and, in front of the inventers, sticking it up thier ass, implying/telling the inventers that that's where this game belongs, in one's ass, and what this BR(Bullshit Revolution) is really all about--fucking, ass-wiping bullshit.

    Yours,
