  • Summary: The dance revolution continues on the Xbox with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2. This sequel features new gameplay modes, exclusive songs, and enhanced Xbox Live support. Now you can compete head-to-head with other dancers nationwide, conduct online tournaments, and upload content, in addition to downloading new songs, dance steps, and characters. The game also includes new game modes, including Team Battles (in which two pairs of players face off against each other) and Synch (a cooperative two-player mode where players must match up their steps while mastering the song).

  1. The replayability of Ultramix 2 is immense, with content downloads and Xbox Live player.
  2. Although it doesn't bring any particularly new concepts to the table, DDR Ultramix 2 is a very solid game, offering the great features of its predecessor coupled with a good mix of songs.
  3. Even with all these attempts at variety, there's not much different in any of the modes compared with a typical two-player game. You're just seeing who can match the steps better. [Dec 2004, p.88]
  4. The slow tracks still outnumber the fast ones; here's hoping the downloadable packages include a few more peppy songs. [Dec 2004, p.132]

    OK i'm going to start off by saying that this is not the best DDR mix to date. it is, however, one of the hardest. a lot of the songs can be difficult to complete, and some of the unlocks are a pain to get. that said: DDR UltraMix 2 is still an awesome DDR game with some notable songs, such as A and V. worth owning if you want a decent mix with a challenge.

    Another solid ddr, but it seems more difficult this time - maybe a little too much so. Worth owning though I think.

    Unforgivable slowdown and framerates mar what's quite possibly the best collection of music and steps for a DDR game ever.

    Since 1999 and its debut for the PS1, it has gotten better and better, and now---shame shame shame. This game SUCKS beyond any other DDR game I've ever seen. It's even worse than Disney Mix! Shame shame, Konami. Ultramix 3 better be a lot better than this. This was one big fat waste of 40 dollars that could have been spent better. Buy DDRMAX2 instead, or if you give up on DDR, try Ratcht and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal. Now THAT's worth talkin' about. Expand
