DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution

With 71 freakin' songs, you'll be playing for months. [Dec 2002, p.70]

With the massive amount of music, coupled with a evenly paced difficulty scale, DDRMAX is set to keep you entertained for the long haul.

Far and away the best DDR compilation available on the home market, and fanatics will find it more than worth the investment.

The best home version of DDR ever made.

The breadth of the lineup puts it head and shoulders above any other home DDR, and DDR Max features a better proportion of danceable tunes in comparison to the Playstation games. [Dec 2002, p.60]

With other games I've felt similar feelings after beating an especially tough boss or solving a taxing puzzle. But when I truly master a song in DDRMAX, the sweat on my face and the swift beating of my heart magnifies the feeling. The soreness in my muscles and the burning in my lungs tell my body that I have actually done something worthwhile. It's a singular sensation that can make other games seem like meaningless fumbling with the controller.

Delivers in modes what it lacks in next-gen flash.

Considering the sheer number of songs presented, the game more than makes up for itself value wise, but if you then throw in all the specific choices you can add to a round of dancing, you’ll find yourself in DDR Nirvana.

Offering “65+ songs”…..Hell you can utilize the game for the music alone.

The new Freeze steps (where you hold your foot down in one direction for multiple beats) are a great addition to the high-steppin' action. [Dec 2002, p.202]

The best DDR out right now. You get a plethora of songs, better graphics than those found on the PSone versions, the new freeze arrows, and more difficulty settings.

While it appears to be ridiculous, I found it to be the most entertaining game I have played in a long while.

There isn’t enough innovation or technical upgrades to make this title stand out from the previous DDR releases. But don’t let that stop you, DDRMAX offers up tons of replay value.

For those of you who enjoy this style of game, the magic is back. DDRMAX really delivers.

Easily the biggest and the best DDR yet. [Dec 2002, p.158]

Delivers the goods big time despite not delivering the ‘Revolution’ its title promises.

Still funky and fun, but not altogether fresh anymore. It almost feels too soon of a release after "Konamix" earlier this year.

Far from revolutionary. [Dec 2002, p.123]

Really just a slight refinement of the well-established DDR formula.
