DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution

"Konami Works Magic"

Introduction- With the release of a new game, fans scramble their way to the nearest store for DDRMAX2. What is DDR? A video game where you use your feet! This is a great game to try out in an arcade, and you may soon be hooked to this worldwide phenomeno as millions of others have!

Gameplay- Now, this is a game that anybody can try. You just follow the arrows and the screen and hit the correct direction with your feet. Sound easy, right? It is if your playing on light mode! With 69 songs and four difficultys, you'll be spending plenty of time enjoying it. With the addition of a begginer mode, as well as an endless mode for experts, there are some new features worth checking out. DDRMAX2 also features music from familiar bands, such as The Crystal Method. This one contains popular songs fans have been asking for, such as Dream a Dream or some other ''hidden'' songs. Masters of this game may be suprised at how easy this version is, and there are about 15 repeats that some people aren't too happy about. Score- 10/10

Graphics- Altough this game doesn't center around graphics, there are some areas that can be reviewed. As usual, the songs feature interesting, cool, or wacky backround images as you play your song. Music videos have been added, and the arrows scroll very smoothly. You can also use an on-screen character, with good cel-shaded affects. Score- 10/10

Sound- With over 65 songs to choose from, you most likely won't get bored with the selection of music. Types range from House, Techno, Pop and Rap to Ethnic and Foreign styles. With all the effects being crystal clear and popular dance music, this section is top-notch. Score- 10/10

Replayability- Theres no way you can get sick of this game with one play period. With songs to unlock and songs to master, you won't be dissapointed at how long you'll be playing. Fans of the dancing genre still play old games for that nostalgic feeling, as well as songs that haven't been repeated. The only downside I could find was that you can unlock everything within a day. Score- 9/10

Final Judgment- I was asking for this game 2 months before it came out. I got it the first day it came out. I'm glad I didn't wait a day longer. This is awesome game that you should DEFINATLEY but for a meager price of 40 bucks.

10/10 bananas!
