* [[CS DDRMAX2 NA|DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-]]
* [[CS DDRMAX2 NA|DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-]]
** A collection of 69 songs, with slightly more accuracy to the [[AC DDRMAX2|arcade DDRMAX2 release]] than DDRMAX CS (North America) was. However, it only includes 7 of the CHALLENGE-only charts. Most notable among the various KONAMI originals / Dancemania revivals is the return of [[GHOSTS (VINCENT DE MOOR REMIX)]], which finally has foot ratings. Beginner and Challenge charts make their North American CS debut, and a traditional Challenge Mode replaces the 4-bar version from the original arcade game (the music is also replaced). Some of the licenses have their official music videos, a first in the DDR series, and a trait that eventually the Japanese games would copy. [[THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Bitch)]] was renamed to '''THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Baby)''' to keep the game's E rating. Overall the North American DDRMAX2 includes 7 new licenses, 3 new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers.

* [[CS DDR EXTREME NA|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME (America)]]
* [[CS DDR EXTREME NA|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME (North America)]]
** 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 North American PS2 DDR game. The other is [[THERE YOU'LL BE]], which makes its first CS appearance in ''any'' region. [[THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON(notorious mix)|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 North American 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 North American DDR game compatible with Sony's EyeToy accessory for mini games. Overall, EXTREME North America has 13 new licenses and 4 new CS songs (though 2 of them come from the ''Silent Hill'' game series). There are no new BEMANI crossovers.

* [[CS DDR SuperNOVA NA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA CS (North America)]]
* [[CS DDR SuperNOVA NA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA CS (North America)]]
** 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 song list 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 North American 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 11 new licenses and 6 CS songs (though 3 can only be played online).
