** A collection of 70 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 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 EXTRME 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 (Definite 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.<br> | ** 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 EXTRME US CS.

** | ** 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 STR!KE|DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE]], and leftover EXTREME songs not in the last three games. This is the first game since MAX US CS 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; [[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 US CS contains 14 new licenses (along with 2 from STRIKE!), and 5 CS songs (though 3 can only be played online). | ||

** | ** A ''very'' loose port of the arcade game from 2 months earlier. Only 16 of the 26 new Konami originals ([[dream of love]] and [[volcano]] were moved to the license category), 2 of of the 14 licenses, and 4 of the 10 BEMANI crossovers are present, with a total of 72 songs. The Groove Radar songs are completely absent. Most of the songs consist of the remaining SuperNOVA songs missing from the previous game, the Japanese SuperNOVA CS songs, some more leftover EXTREME songs, and [[e-motion]], making its only PS2 appearance in ''any'' region. The once online-exclusive songs from SuperNOVA US are also included. Overall SuperNOVA 2 contains 23 brand-new licenses and 2 new CS songs. | ||

** | ** A somewhat accurate port of the then-unreleased arcade version, containing all except one of the game's new Konami originals ([[A Geisha's Dream]], which wasn't out at the beginning of the game's arcade release either), and even has most of the arcade licenses, with a grand total of 75 songs. It is missing, though, the Japanese licenses (along with [[Koko Soko]]), the 5 new BEMANI crossovers, and some of the new options/display settings. It's also missing, like the later Japanese CS release, all the X-Special charts and HOTTEST PARTY crossovers. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of most of the remaining SuperNOVA 2 arcade songs not included earlier, along with the Japanese SuperNOVA2 CS songs (except license [[LEAVE ME ALONE]]) and [[SOUL CRASH]], the latter finally making it US CS debut. Overall X US CS contains 7 new licenses and no new CS/BEMANI songs. | ||
