Customer Rating:
Summary: Best game ever
Comment: I really loved this game, I remember recieving it for Christmas with the PS2. The songs are great but now it is scratched by my three little brothers and I will probably never be able to play it again. Very sad. Is there any way I can fix this?

Comment: This game is really fun. It is as you would except DDR games to be like. However, I wish the game contained more songs that I recognize.

Summary: Great Fun, Great Exercise
Comment: I really enjoy the Dance Dance Revolution series. It's a very active way to play video games and stay in shape! With DDR Extreme 2 you get a new set of songs and some new activities.
First, if you've never played Dance Dance Revolution before, the basics. You buy a separate floor pad that has arrows on it. You stand on this pad and as the music plays, you dance around on the pad, hitting the arrows with your feet. So if the video screen shows an "up arrow", you hit the up arrow with your feet. It starts easy, so you get the hang of it, but soon you're actually dancing around, hitting arrows with two feet at a time, and having a TON of fun.
The key here is that you are actively playing. Instead of lounging back on the couch and pushing buttons with your fingers, you are caught up in the game, dancing as quickly as you can, and burning off tons of calories. You can easily lose a LOT of weight doing this - or stay in great shape - and it's not boring at all! It is a ton of fun. There have been many times that my legs have been aching but I've kept playing because I wanted to get to the next level.
So what does this version of DDR provide that others ones don't? Well, the key is the song set. Each set of DDR games comes with its own unique music set. I always highly recommend that you look at the full set list of the game to see if the music appeals to you. You can talk about graphics, or costumes or so on - but really, when you're playing you don't see any of that. You usually have no idea what your "character" is wearing or what the background is doing. All you focus on is listening to the music, watching the arrows, and getting your feet moving.
I have the song set separate so this review doesn't get huge - check out my BellaOnline site for that.
In addition to basic "play a song you like" gameplay, there is also a mission mode where you work your way up a tree, choosing from song X or song Y, meeting the mission parameters for each song. Sometimes you just have to play the song through, sometimes you have to get X perfect hits, and so on. You unlock new outfits, new songs, and move your way down the path. It's a great way to get introduced to songs you might not normally play. There have been many times in this game where I've skipped over a certain song figuring I wouldn't like it - but then when "forced" to play it to get through a level I found it really was quite good!
There's also a workout mode, if you want to focus on raw calories burned, and you can chart your progress online if you want to see how well you stack up to the competition.
For me personally, this song list isn't one of my favorites - but again I accept we're all different and we all have vastly different musical tastes. So where I personally would play one of my other DDR games for the music selection, I'm sure many people will think this is their favorite because they love the music here. That's why it's great that there are so many different DDR games out there, something for everyone.
Enjoy!

Summary: Lots of Family Fun Exercise!!!
Comment: Our 14 year old daughter gets too little exercise but sometimes plays DDR in gym class and loves it (who knew?)! We have had a Mario Mix for Game Cube with a crappy vinyl pad and it is never played. On a recent family trip we all played DDR at a hotel arcade and had a great time. Upon returning home we ordered a couple of DDR games (Extreme2 and Super Nova 2) and some good quality pads for our PS2 console. The music and gameplay makes this a totally different game than the old Mario Mix we already had. It is addictive in a good way and lots of fun...even for my wife and me. Our daughter is much better than our younger son or us adults but we are able to compete because it lets each player select a different skill level. It seems that the Exteme 2 is a little easier (too easy maybe) at least on my beginners level than the Super Nova 2 but both are excellent choices and have provided hours of fun and excercise. I would recommend purchasing either a good quality foam pad or metal pad (I prefer metal but kids like the foam) over the flimsy foldable ones which are often packaged with the games. I also like that this is a video game the whole famlily really enjoys playing together regardless of our age or individual skill levels.
