The Xbox also received its own DanceDanceRevolution title that year - [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX]]. It also marked with its several DDR firsts. It was the first DanceDanceRevolution game ''not'' made in Japan (it was made by KONAMI's Hawaii division), the first DDR game to support widescreen, the first in 480p, the first to have DLC song packs (and thus the first game in the series to go online), and lastly the first to allow free playing of songs without setting options. While it only contained 51 songs (4 new licenses, 4 new CS songs, and 7 new BEMANI crossovers), it also contained a few exclusives to the North American DDR series, such as the original [[AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE]] and [[HYPNOTIC CRISIS|HYPNΦTIC CRISIS]], neither of which ever appeared in a North American PS2 DDR title. | The Xbox also received its own DanceDanceRevolution title that year - [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX]].

Europe also received two of its own PlayStation 2 DDR titles, again under the Dancing Stage name. Unfortunately, both games together don't equal the 69 found in the U.S. DDRMAX2 game. [[CS DS MegaMiX|Dancing Stage MegaMiX]] and [[CS DS Fever|Dancing Stage Fever]] contain only 26 and 29 songs each, are missing the Groove Radar, and the former's licenses only go to a maximum difficulty of 4 unless playing on Double.
