dance dance revolution songs are americanized, SPOT 1-5 different MissionsRelated posts:
The excellent:
1. A few excellent songs
2. New FULL COMBO animation at the end of the song when completing a full combo.
The terrible:
1. Poor song selection full of non-dance songs and slow top 40 music.
2. Licensed song Step Charts are forgettable, slow, mindless, poor.
3. Shock arrows still require you to step off all four dance pad sensors, rather than shocking individual arrows.
4. Long load times, irritating screaming crowd before and after songs.
5. Irritating announcer.
6. Ten or more songs repeated from previous mixes, wasting space.
7. Box Art cover still featuring girl in high heels. This is the 4th or 5th release where the cover features a girl in high heels. I’m sorry, but did they forget how this game is supposed to be played.
By and large, DDR X2 is a sad excuse for a DDR game. The song selection can be heard if you flick on your local top 40 station. I want to dance to dance music, not slow radio music. The PS2 release has a limited song selection (with no downloads), yet they have ten or more songs on here from previous releases. It’s just a dissipate of space, and most of the repeats are not splendid DDR songs. Everytime I unlocked a new song, it’s just more junk. Gone are the days of fun eurobeat dance music or unique dance songs. Now we get ancient, non-remixed 80’s tunes and top 40 junk we’ve been hearing for years on the radio. The heavy steps ovearll are insanely simple and slow. NO thought was place into them. Not all songs have a challenge mode, again Konami being bone idle. Complaints made on the last release were not heard by Konami. People complained about the announcer and not being able to turn him off. That was not fixed.
I have been a DDR fan since 2002. The past four releases of DDR have strayed very far from what DDR used to be back then. The fans of DDR now are the ones that missed out on the early years of DDR. They only know about the sludge that gets place by Konami and not the gems they used to release years ago.
Again, a poor excuse for a DDR game. Konami simply just doesn’t care about the fans and have went on to a new set of DDR lovers. Again Konami fails to make anything innovative in this DDR release. With a game like IN the Groove, we saw how innovative a dance game could be, and Konami just hasn’t made any effort to please the fans or go above and beyond. This will probably be the last DDR for PS2, and I reflect Konami wants it that way.

The DDR series has taken a huge nosedive down to nothingness once Konami chose to make the game “International.” This means more terrible American pop music (because American pop music is world renowned). Konami’s take on the obligatory DDR for 2009 in the US is an extremely small mix full of one terrible music after another. They developed this game probably in less than 2 weeks and it shows. Mind you, I don’t own this game, but I have played this sad excuse with all paltry 60 songs unlocked. It is now clear that Konami is once again making a new version of DDR X for the arcades with the same name DDR X2. But, they choose to confuse consumers by releasing this crap with the same name. So going back to this X2, Konami has thought that smaller is better. As noted before this sad excuse of computer code only has 60 songs. Last year’s DDR X got 71, the Japanese DDR X for the PS2 got 81. beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST for the PS2 in Japan is a two DVD set with 198 songs total! So yeah go figure how Konami likes to treat American fans. They take them for a bunch of buffoons. But are the 60 songs at least any excellent? No, unless you’re Latino and like Spanish music (I’m not racist, I just don’t like Latin music, got it?). Konami targeted this game for the Latino consultation, they should have called this game Dance Dance Revolution LATINO MIX. You only get half of the licenses from Hottest Party 3 (15 songs) so they filled the 15 with a bunch of repeated songs instead. You also have your Konami Original music but with only a percentage of them from the real DDR X2 arcade with less Latino music and more real dance music. So yeah, this game is terrible, the worst game of 2009 IMO. DDR X2 shows you how Konami thinks of you. Like a bunch of fools who know no better. I import, get the Japanese DDR X instead, or get beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST. Japanese version Konami sports meeting pwn paltry American ones.

A new DDR has his the PS2. And I couldn’t have been more pleased. So I went out and selected it up. And then things fell apart.
I’ve been playing this game series for a LONG time. And owing to the years this series has been a sink or swim disaster. This one seems to be another sinking disaster.
The songs themselves are not terrible. They have their over played radio songs which the steps for these songs are really simple for anyone who does Heavy/Expert on a regular basis. Others are recyced from past sports meeting and then there are a few new ones thrown in. Out of all of them, I like two songs, so far.
Why do I say so far? Well, unlocking these songs is by far, the most tedious process out of all the sports meeting. You can play the normal mode and unlock a song every 5-15 songs. Which will tire you out rather quickly since the songs they grant to start with are not the greatest. Your other option is to play their new dice master mode.
Dice Master Mode gives you a game penetrate where you go your characters around. Sounds excellent until you place the dice in. One dice has 6 different characters and the other has numbers. For example if you roll a Rage and 4, go rage 4 chairs and you HAVE to go 4 chairs.
The penetrate has different spots which have a missions to do. But half of the spots on the penetrate are blank spots which means not anything happens if you go there. So you can find yourself rolling the dice and having to go right over the missions you have to do only to land on a spot where not anything happens. Rolling the number you need to get to the space you need takes a lot of wasted time to pull off. And you play with all 6 characters at the same time. Each has their own penetrate with different missions in different spots. So if you need to get a 2 on the dice to go Baby Bon Bon to the next mission, even if you get the 2, you have to get Baby Bon Bon on the dice as well or you have to go a different character 2 spots. Which puts the odds further against you to get to the next mission.
And then it gets worse. You have to level up your character in order to do certain missions. So even if you land on a mission spot, you can’t do it unless you’re a certain level. You start at level 1. You level up by landing on level 1 mission spots and beating them. Then you have to land on another level 1 spot and beat that mission. Rinse and do again until you level up to level 2. Then you can do level 1 and 2 missions spots. Keep doing this until you can do every mission spot.
You can unlock different face plates for the dice. For example you can unlock a 1,2,3,4,5, 0r 6 and replace that number with any number on the dice. For example instead of having a dice that has 1-6, you can have a dice with 1,1,2,2,3, and 3. Same can be done with the characters. So you can give yourself higher chances for getting the number and character you need to get to the next mission.
The missions start off annoyingly simple and then get nearly impossible to beat. Can you do a song on heavy and get a MARVOLOUS on every step? There’s more then one of these. That kind of thing makes this a pain to complete.
By and large this Mode pisses me off. There’s been times I go back and forth trying to land on one spot for nearly half an hour. Then having to pull this off with 6 characters with tons of these missions becomes a disheartening task.
BUT the graphics for this game a superb for a PS2. A lot of the backgrounds, characters, and setup has been taken directly from DDRX. There has been a new graphic that happens when you get a full combo (including freeze arrows). Edit, Workout, and Training modes have come back. The store has been removed. A lot of people complain about the announcer but you can turn him off.
It’s not the best in the series. But it does give a refreshing feeling if you have played the other PS2 DDR sports meeting to death.

As someone who has played DDR since the beginning, this was a disappointment. The previous game “X” was a better effort.
The song list lost its appeal within about 5 minutes. After unlocking most(or all) of the songs it has improved by a small amount, but not quite enough to make it worth the contemporary asking price.
For fans of quick or hard songs/steps, stay away! Not anything to see here.
As a previous reviewer said, the announcer can be irritating to the point where you lose the flow. Some reflect that this is a part of the game. If so, Konami was flourishing with this aspect(and in X as well.)
This game wont be seeing much play time in my DDR rotation.
