Somewhat interesting but...

This game is lacking in adaquate fun songs to play. If you keep playing old songs like "My My My" and "Play that Funky Music" it just get very annoying. Also, there are some new Rap (or R&B whatever...) that just take up space because they have odd rythems and I don't believe they belong in a ddr game. Another addition is the whole shop mode scene (Which is also in DDR Extreme). I found this to be very tolling because of the required game time to buy all the songs you enjoy like Dive and Absolute(MANY HOURS OF PLAYING!). The whole clothes for characters and arrow changers are honestly...a waste of time. I believe sticking to simple and sweet with perfect arrow registering and FANTASTIC SONGS are the key to a good ddr game, not adding more and more modes and details.

On the brightside, They finally put in "Speed Over Beethoven", "Butterfly (upswing mix)", and Cartoon Heros (Yay ^^). Also, I found the mission mode to be very beginner friendly (for my friends)and challenging as you progress.

At this point, i'm desperate enough to say, LOOK FOR THE ARCADE VERSON! Sorry Konami, for all the money iv spent i still don't have the whole collection which realllllly ticks me off. (approx $300 in DDR games not inclu. game pads)

Don't get me wrong, I own all the ddr games for the PS2 so I have no regret saying that DDR Extreme 2 fell short of my expectations. If you are not familiar with the DDR series then i suggest trying this one or the old DDR Max (for the PS2).

Don't you think they should vote on the songs on a website or something?

I've been a huge fan of DDR for about 4 years now, so of course I had to get DDR Extreme 2! I was excited about it because some of my favorite songs are on it, such as Sync, Sakura, Spin Spin Sugar and Colors. So, I started playing and thought that the dance master mode is fun, even though it forced me to play some songs that I really, REALLY hate (Oops, I Did it Again and Genie in a Bottle, anyone?) in order to unlock songs that I wanted. It's fine at first, but if you're not an amazing super pro player it's practically impossible to get all the unlocks! And I consider myself a fairly decent player (I can get AA on 8 footers), but I've been playing this game since September and I still haven't been able to unlock some of my favorite songs because there's a lot of missions that are impossible for me to clear. Sure, Dance Master mode is fun, but I feel kinda ripped off. I know a lot of people who enjoy the game regularily, but could never in their lives unlock a lot of the songs on this game. And there is no alternate way of unlocking songs either, so you basically have to be a super hardcore player to be able to get all the songs. Honestly, I don't think this is fair. It's killed a lot of the fun in the game, and I find myself ditching Extreme 2 for the older games quite often. I would have given it 2 stars, but it gets 3 because it's a DDR game.

To sum things up, don't get this game unless you're a very advanced player, like playing the same few songs over and over or are a big fan like me who has to have all the latest DDR.

DDR... but tedious.

It may have a few decent steps and a couple improvements (you don't need to go back to the main menu after three songs in free play mode,) but the game has one near killer flaw- they changed the core gameplay from focusing on arcade style vs. play and free play to a more mission oriented "Dance Master" mode. The tedious mission gameplay, combined with the barrage of menus required to just get a new song might give the impression the software is an office spreadsheet rather than a dancing game. I rarely write reviews... but this game needs another disclaimer. "Warning- Game may cause extreme tedium"

This is the best winter (or rainy day) video game you could ask for - even though my daughter is staring at the TV - she is getting a great workout and it's improving her dexterity and eye coordination. Certainly keeps the brain working.

Good Game, Qestionable Music

The Game played Good but the lyrics of a few songs were questionable for
kids or teens

A bit disappointed

The main reason our family looks forward to fall is because there will be a new DDR game released. DDR Extreme 2 is somewhat of a disappointment. Yes, there are some new songs. But I am getting sick of so many of the same songs from previous games "re-mixed" for the new DDR games. People who play a lot of DDR are craving new songs to play. So why can't we get a version with ALL completely new songs? The other thing we hate: the work you have to go thru to even unlock all of the songs. Who cares about buying clothes & outfits for the dance characters?! We turn off the characters anyway - they're too annoying to leave on. I wish the game was the same format as the older DDR games like Max 2 & Extreme but with ALL NEW songs! I agree with one of the other reviewers - let us all vote for the music we want. This is not at all one of my most played DDR games. DDR Mom in Illinois

Ehh...

I got this game during the summer expecting it to be great fun. Well...it caught my interest for a few weeks then I just got bored with it. I'd only recomend it to people who do not get bored easily.

It's fun, but...

I got this for my kids (ages 7 & 9) as a Christmas present. They have had fun with it, but it IS NOT user friendly when it comes to setting it up when you are picking what you want to dance to. It takes some getting used to, and I still don't have the timing right when it comes to matching the time you step to when the screen tells you to. The pads seem to be working ok, just make sure you have room for them- I got 2. I geuss all in all, it's OK. Don't know if I would spend the money again for the game and 2 dance mats...

It's a dance party! (...)

Video games, fun and, a workout are put together again. I would rather use the dance pads for the game Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 for PS2. DDRX2 is used for having a great time. The reason I picked DDRX2 is that I'm videogame player and I want to lose weight. Videogame players and people who are at least 4 or over and people who want to lose weight will enjoy this game.DDRX2 is fun, a videogame, active, it gets you more coordinated, and it helps you dance better. This game is a fun game in my opinion. DDRX2 is a financially good game to buy.

great for the whole family!
