Here is a listing of all the North American DanceDanceRevolution console game releases. Songs are listed by system in order of release. Little blurbs will be added below if applicable.

This page is VERY much under construction.

PlayStation

PlayStation 2

  • DDRMAX: DanceDanceRevolution
    • A collection of 71 songs, though few of them are from the original DDRMAX arcade game (only one license, ORDINARY WORLD, made the cut), though most of the CS crossovers and a few of the new Konami originals are in this mix. Most of the songlist consists of DDR Konami originals and Dancemania licenses from DanceDanceRevoluton 2ndMIX through 5thMIX, some of which (like THE CUBE and many of the Club songs) have never appeared in a Japanese PS2 release. Also includes 5 new BEMANI crossovers, 5 new licenses, and 4 new remixes by Sota Fujimori. Also has Oni Mode, even though the original DDRMAX had no courses. First US CS DDR game with Information Mode, which includes detail on each song and other info tracked by the game.
  • DDRMAX2: DanceDanceRevolution
    • A collection of 69 songs, with slightly more accuracy to the arcade DDRMAX2 release than DDRMAX US CS was. However, it only includes 7 of the Challenge-only charts. Most notable among the various Konami originals / Dancemania revivials is the return of GHOSTS (VINCENT DE MOOR MIX), which finally has foot ratings. Beginner and Challenge charts make their US 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 own videos, a first in the CS DDR series, and a trait that eventually the Japanese games would copy. THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Bitch) was renamed to to THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Baby) to keep the game's E rating, though the song itself is not edited. Overall the US DDRMAX2 includes 8 new licenses, 3 new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers.
  • DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME US
    • A collection of 70 songs, with very few of the songs being from the 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 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's, along with a new scoring system similar to 4thMIX; songs are worth 7,000,000 points at max (bonus points are distributed after the song is over), and you must full combo a song now to AA it. On the plus side, the new game interface restores the top and bottom parts of the playing field that have 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. 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.
