    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 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

    Simply put, DDRMAX2 is the DDR that players know and love, but slightly flashier. Fans won’t be disappointed.
  2. Difficulty modifiers make the game much more enjoyable and the edit mode provides endless hours of play. However, die hard fans of the series may feel betrayed with the lack of challenge the game has to offer. But with an all star track list such as this no fan can afford not to pick this title up.
  3. You’ll never catch me playing this game in the arcades but having DDRMAX 2 on my PS2 ready to humiliate myself in the privacy of my own home is undeniable fun.
