North American DanceDanceRevolution Games: Difference between revisions

** A collection of 71 songs, with very few of the songs being from the [[AC DDR EXTREME|original arcade release]]. Only three new songs remain from the arcade release; [[The legend of MAX]], [[TRIP MACHINE survivor]], and [[MEMORIES]]. Most of the other songs, as usual, are older KONAMI originals and Dancemania licenses. The latter has two noteworthy songs; the first is [[DON'T CLOCK ME]], the ''only'' Dancemania license from [[AC DDR Solo BASS|Solo BASS MIX]] (not counting [[GET UP'N MOVE]]) to ever appear in a US CS PS2 DDR game. The other is [[THERE YOU'LL BE]], which makes its first CS appearance in ''any'' region. [[THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (Revival 2001 Mix)]] was renamed THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (notorious mix). A completely new interface involving a jukebox like songwheel replaces the original game. Songs are worth 7,000,000 points at max (bonus points are distributed after the song is over, up to 3,000,000 max), and you must full combo a song now to AA it, not unlike 4thMIX and needing to full combo a song to A it. On the plus side, the new game interface restores the top and bottom parts of the playing field that have been removed since 5thMIX, allowing you to see better the arrows from below. Several of the new licenses are covers from ''Karaoke Revolution'' to advertise that series' release. First US CS PS2 DDR release with Mission Mode, a mode in the earlier Japanese DDR titles where you completed certain requirements. Completing this mode unlocks everything in the game, but you have to play a certain amount of songs first to unlock it. It's also the first US DDR game compatible with Sony's EyeToy accessory for mini games. Overall, EXTREME US has 13 new licenses and 4 CS songs (though two of them come from the ''Silent Hill'' game series). There are no new BEMANI crossovers.

** A US-only "sequel" to DDR EXTREME with 74 songs, containing many of the songs/KONAMI originals/crossovers from the original arcade game that weren't present in EXTREME US CS. Virtually every song has its own unique video/overlays now, the only US CS game with this distinction. (The one exception is [[Get Busy]], the game's sole live-action video.) Other songs includes various KONAMI originals and Dancemania licenses, including popular songs (such as [[BUTTERFLY (UPSWING MIX)]]) and more obscure songs like [[LOOK AT US (Daddy DJ Remix)]]. It's also the ''only'' US CS DDR game with a song from E-ROTIC, possibly owing to the game's E-10 rating, the first in the series. [[AGAINST ALL ODDS (Definitive MIX)]]'s title was changed to AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW). 6 more Challenge-only charts make their US CS debut. The MAX2-EXTREME era songwheel returns, but it's been redesigned a bit, looking like a prototype for the interface in [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA]]. EXTREME2 also contains an expanded Mission Mode, which is required to unlock all the KONAMI originals in the game except for [[You gotta move it (feat. Julie Rugaard)]], a song from famous Japanese video game musician Yuzo Koshiro. You can also save from the song select, a first in a CS DDR release. The game also uses the same exact scoring system as EXTREME US CS. Overall EXTREME 2 contains 13 new licenses, 6 new CS songs, and 5 new BEMANI crossovers. (This is the last US PS DDR game with new BEMANI crossovers.)<br>

** US-only DDR game, containing the US PS2's era smallest songlist at 40 songs. As the name suggests, it contains licenses from various Disney Channel shows at the time of the game's 2008 release. There are overall 20 licenses, all of them covers; the other 20 songs are KONAMI originals, but some require insane requirements to unlock, such as a full combo Marvellous on a song! The usual DDR cast are replaced with various Disney Channel actors as well.
