North American DanceDanceRevolution Games: Difference between revisions

** 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 CS (North America). Virtually every song has its own unique video/overlays now, the only North American 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'' North American CS DDR game with a song from E-ROTIC, possibly owing to the game's ESRB E10+ rating, the first in the series. [[AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)|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 North American 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 by 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 CS (North America). Overall EXTREME 2 contains 13 new licenses, 6 new CS songs, and 5 new BEMANI crossovers. This is the last US PS2 DDR game with new BEMANI crossovers.

** A loose port of the recent arcade game of the same name, with some (though not all) of the new KONAMI originals, very few of the new licenses, and some of the game's BEMANI crossovers for a total of 74 songs. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of new licenses, songs from [[CS DDR STRIKE|DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE]], and leftover EXTREME songs not in the last three games. This is the first game since MAX CS (North America) to not have Challenge-only songs. It's also the only US PS2 DDR game with no Information Mode, and also the last one with an older Dancemania license; [[Sobakasu FRECKLES (KCP Re-Edit)|FRECKLES (KCP Re-Edit)]]. New license [[Robogirl]] from The Crystal Method was renamed from its original title Roboslut due to the ESRB. Unfortunately, 5 of the game's new songs can only be played online, and are not playable outside of online. (These songs were thankfully added the following game.) Overall SuperNOVA CS (North America) contains 14 new licenses (along with 2 from STRIKE!), and 6 CS songs (though 3 can only be played online).
