Yea, drifting away is wut id call it, cus thats wut im doin! ( that is 1 of the songs) well, this game is great. u can burn up to thousands of calrorires!!! i reccomend this for anyone who cant sit still and play games with no action. this is a higly fun dancing game where you use a mat or controller to stayu with teh beat!!! i dont mean to brag, but i am a DDR champ... this game has 5 modes, begginer( gret 4 well, begginers!) light( an aesy to stick with mode) standard( for people who are more fast-paced) heavy(what i play on- strictly for ddr pros. if u can stay with a beat and hold on to an ultimate combo, well this mode is 4 u.) There are over 65+ songs, and over 100+ minutes of cool and fun dance music!(u do the math). If u r up for a challenge, i highly reccomend Kaemekia or whatever. it is a really cool song that uses the piano, and takes a little while to unlock. u dont start out with many dongs, but as you move ur way up the board, u get tuns. another great song is drifting away( this is what i do when i play!). this song has a pretty easiy to follow beat, and is really fun, i really like most of the videos and songs. songs i dont reccomend are the following: end of the century( easy but stupid), silent hill( easy but really stupid) and also busychild( i cant stnad that song!!!! it is really annoying) who.. i got a little off track there.... well anyway, i reccomend this game for anyone( its kinda hard not to be selfish when it comes around this) so if u have a big family ( like me , one of 8) ull be stressed down by all the people who want to play it!!! ha! well, anyway, this is one great game that anyone can follow( thank you so much ddr max creators, cus these have brot tons of joy into my life!!!!!!)
AWESOME!

Last Friday, my aunt Chris and uncle Chris (no joking they have the same exact name; on a side note though, for laughs I like to call uncle Chris aunt Chris, lol) came into town to go to some formal dinner of some sorts with Mom and Dad. I was supposed to go to 9 Mile with Lyle and look at guitars with him but Mom and Dad said I had to baby-sit Chris and Chris's 12 year old daughter (my cousin) Trisha.
She was kind of spoiled but that's what happens to most only children. Anywho, she brought over this new virtual reality game for the PS2 called Dance Dance Revolution 2. Whereas the point is to stand on these pads and, you guessed it dance. Lyle ended staying over to keep me company while bratty Trisha played with her High Brow toy. She ended up having two of those virtual reality pads so two people could play. When she offered, Lyle immediately stated, "NO WAY, those are strictly for girls and Asian guys", I quickly followed his lead to save face with him (he was a little irritated that we had to skip guitar browsing, so I didn't want to push it).
Around 10:30 Trisha went to bed so Lyle and I watched Black Dog (a great Patrick Swayze movie, by the way), Lyle went to bed right after the movie ended, but I told him I wanted to stay up a little bit to practice my harmonica. After about 15 minutes when I thought he would be a sleep, I kind of betrayed him and turned on Dance Dance. I played and it grew on me really quick. Before I knew it, I was dancing like my feet were on fire. After about twenty minutes I thought how fun it would be to go head on head with someone else. Since I dared not to wake up Lyle or Trisha, I had an ingenious idea.
What I did was I boxed in the second pad with the couch, loveseat, and chairs, then I tied a bog biscuit to a string and hung it from the light fixture above the pad. Then I woke up Morris (my dog) and did a quick grappling bout with him to riel him up. When I found him ready enough I put him in the furniture enclosure and showed him the dog biscuit. The match was on! We played straight for about a half-hour. I danced like there was no tomorrow while he jumped up and down trying to get the treat that was just inches from his grip. In the end I pretty much annilatted Morris, I think he only beat me like once.
In conclusion, Virtual Reality is finally starting to show some promise. It's been a long road for it. I just hope the world can show the future generations of virtual reality the tolerance and acceptance that Morris, Trisha, and I have.
Now at the Review writing section it asked me 2 questions. The first was "How much fun is this game?". Well thats easy. It is a Tuttleman approved 5 stars of fun. The second question was "How do you rate this game overall?". The problem is that I could never admit to Lyle that I actually liked this crazy contraption. Do you know how many cool points I would lose if Lyle knew I was (for one night only) a solid-gold lord of the dance with feet of fire!? ALL OF THEM. So I'm rating it 1 star over-all, just in case Lyle asks me what I rated it. That way I won't technically be lying to Lyle. Later.

This game is SO FUN! GREAT way to WORK-OUT too! It may just be my taste in music but I found about 60% of the songs unenjoyable to dance/play to. I like the digital dancers in the back ground though :D
The Coolest Game Ever!

When I first tried DDR, I was really bad at it and I just gave up. I couldn't follow the arrows or anything. But about a week later I tried again and I was awesome! I was playing it with my friend and I just started doing really well. Now, I'm able to go on Standard (2nd hardest) mode. This game is so fun and addictive, and it's a good workout. Everyone always says that it's so hard, but once you get the hang of it, it is the most addictive game ever!!! DDR RULES!!!
not what we thought

My son wanted this game for a present and I read the reviews and chose this one. Now he got it with a pad and it is very difficult. The reviews did not help out that much. There are complicated arrows to follow and he just cannot move that fast. A week after getting it, he does not play with it.
The customer reviews presented were not helpful and I based my purchase on them. Maybe he will revisit it but it takes a lot of coordination.

This game has decent songs. But DDR Extreme has more challenging songs. It is easy to understand.Except if you want to change your difficulty level during the game.
you can NEVER get enough DDR

This is another great game in the DDR series. It features some songs making there debue on PS2, including "End of the Century" and "Dive". My only problem with this game is how Amercanized it has become. I was looking foward to a game with all (or most) of the songs from the arcade. I rather have "Drop the Bomb" or "Boom Boom Dollar" or "Rythm and Police" to "Dirty Vegas" or "Take me away". Still, this is a great game that everyone should own.
