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 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>

** A collection of 62 songs, this is the final US PS2 DDR game. Some of the new KONAMI originals and some of the licenses from this game later appeared on the then unannounced arcade X2 game. (These same KONAMI originals also appear in [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY3|DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3]], released the same day in the US.) The other remaining KONAMI originals consist of the BEMANI crossovers and [[A Geisha's Dream]] from X AC, SuperNOVA JP CS song [[MOONSTER]] finally making its US CS debut, and some old KONAMI originals from other arcade installments (like [[MARS WAR 3]] finally appearing in the US). The Groove Radar songs from SuperNOVA2 finally make their US CS debut, as does EXTREME song [[Dance Dance Revolution (song)|Dance Dance Revolution]] and Challenge-only chart [[MY SUMMER LOVE (TOMMY'S SMILE MIX)]]. Overall X2 US CS contains 15 new licenses and 16 new KONAMI originals. This is the last (non-iOS) console/arcade DDR game in ''any'' region with banners.
