I love to dance! Fun game, gets you moving, and possibly annoy your downstairs neighbors (oops) :) The music is great, and the different level/game options are perfect. Fun with friends!

DDR Max 2 is fabulous. This game has a good selection of high energy music...from all different artists and styles. Obviously the skill levels can be changed, so every player can play at there own pace. I haven't had any qualms with this product. I have the greatest time "dancing" with family and friends. Highly recommended!!!

This game is SO FUN! GREAT way to WORK-OUT too! It may just be my taste in music but I found about 60% of the songs unenjoyable to dance/play to. I like the digital dancers in the back ground though :D

DDR Max 2, in my opinion, if the best of the American releases. There are many old favorites here and some decent new additions. All in all, a lot nicer than the newer releases with their popular music. If that's your style, get a newer game, but if you want an arcade experience do yourseld a favor and make the effort to track down a copy of DDR Max 2.

I know a lot of people use this as an exercise program and a lot of companies market it the same way. In their defense, this game can be intense. I was out of practice and after getting back into it I was beat just after a few songs. Made me realize that this game certainly provides a workout without you even realizing you're expending the effort.

This is probably one of the funnest games I've ever played. I didn't come directly into playing it because I dislike the idea of sweating profusely in an arcade and stinking wherever I went after that.

At home, it's a different story. Even though this game is old, the trance songs(and dance songs) in this game are of the top from that time.

Love at First Sight -Kylie Minogue
Heaven - DJ Sammy
Take Me Away - 4 Strings
Days Go By - Dirty Vegas

And many other dance and j-pop songs.

If there is a newer version, you might want to go for it. But, when I did my search for a DDR game, this one seemed to have the most, best, and latest songs.

Also, get a durable pad. They don't last very long.

Max2 is such a fun game, it gets tedious trying to get every song that I want and the fact that it has to restart everytime you finish three songs or so, but the song selection is great and there isn't a level I don't enjoy.

It was a gift.

We purchased this game after playing DDRMax for months, and getting a little bit tired of the same old songs. Unfortunately, a good portion of the songs on this game are remix's of the songs on DDRMax. Don't get me wrong, there are new songs, but I was dissapointed to see repeats. Also, the scoring on this game is strange. I have been so frustrated some nights, earning an A or a AA on a song that was currently a C or B, and not getting a new record. I also have seen some of my grades going down, from an A to a C. I don't play solely for the scoring, but that does get annoying!
The light mode is too easy if you have used any other DDR game prior. Some of the standard mode is more like light on the original DDRMax. But I should say something that I really like about DDRMax2 is the beginner mode. We originally bought our first game for our daughter who was 5, and it turned out it was too difficult for her to get the hang of. She is now doing great, because of the beginner mode. This mode takes the movie away from the background and shows a character standing on a pad and moving to the beat, and also moving their feet to the appropriate square as the song progresses. This really helped her understand how to do it!

I enjoy this game a lot. I think most people (kids and adults alike) will find it to be very pleasurable. The songs are fun and, dare I say hip! Even my mother enjoys it! A great addition to any gamer's collection!

I bought this for my 11 y/o grandson for Christmas, and it has been going nonstop ever since. It's not just the kids enjoying it either - the teenagers and adults have been playing it as well. Even if you're just watching, it's loads of fun (and the best exercise around!)

I've had a lot of fun with this one. Great music. The "light" mode has a few songs that I don't consider too "light," and the setup can be a little annoying (specifically, turning characters on or off). Also, too many screens at the beginning and end (I don't need to see the credits every time I finish a game!). But you can stomp through them pretty quickly and get to the gameplay. If you find a similarly rated game for cheaper, buy it. I couldn't, so I got this one, and I'm pretty happy.

When I first tried it I thought there's no way I'll ever figure this out. After 1 week and a lot of help from my 13 yr. old I'm starting to get it. Most of the songs are still a little too fast for me, I wish I could slow them down. It's a lot of fun though. My son and I now compete.

if you only want to get one ddr mix..... this is the one! (the cove for this listing seems to be incorrect... it is the orange cover one.. not the one they are showing here.

This game is both fun and also good cardio exercise. My son loves it and still plays it. It is a good break from the traditional video game he plays.

my brother bought this game a long time ago when it came out, so recently i thought i would start playing it. i've played all of the DDR games, and this one is by far the best. my favorite songs are Dream A Dream, Heaven, and Ghosts. It's very easy to beat, I unlocked everything in less than a week. you can play on Beginner, Light, Standard, Heavy, or Nonstop (for Nonstop you need to unlock songs). for new players, I suggest starting on Light. Another fun part is getting 2 game pads so you and a friend can play against each other. (I suggest doing different levels so you can unlock songs quicker.) this game is for all ages! and when you get really good like me and can play on heavy mode, it's fun showing off. buy this game! it's very addicting and it's way worth the money!

DDR Max 2 is enjoyable in many different ways. There are different levels from simple to difficult so that anyone can be a part of it. You can pick different songs for different styles or tastes. Controls are easy to learn and get use to.
I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys an active and fun workout.
Great as a party game!

I love the DDR games. They're tons of fun and get me up off my butt. They're also a lot of fun with parties. Some of the DDR games are better liked than others, but they are all worth having.

i just recently brought ordered this game because no store had it only ddr extreme and ddr extreme2 and compared to the ddr-extremes this game is 1,000,000 times better because i also have ddr extreme and i felt like throwing it away after playing this one and also the levels are actually challenging unlike ddr extreme 1 & 2 so if you don't have diz game plz go get it!!!!

The only problem I have with this game is that I need to put it in a room that is on the ground floor. The kids started playing this right away and the jumping really makes some noise. This is a great game to keep the kids active and not sitting on the couch. I bought it for my daughter but my son even liked the game.

This is a great game, no matter how old you are. The levels are more attuned to your level of play, and I consider the control's a lot easier to navigate through then the other versions.

My favorite song, 'Breakdown' is also included in this set, and if you don't want to spend that extra 20 bucks on the dance pad's, never fear, you can just hook up the controller and give you fingers the workout.

This is even a great game for a workout. My parents constantly complain about how I laze before the TV or computer playing video games, and yet, I can still play a video game and get a good round of exercise- without the dull visit to the "great" outdoors! ^_^

I bought this for my 10 year old son. It has turned into a family favorite. Often, attracted by the familiar music, an uninitiated adult will drift toward the game to give it a try; often with funny results. It is a lot of fun and offers challenges for the nimble (my kids) and the less nimble like myself.

If you're an attention lover like me, buy this game for the SOLE reason that you can practice at home so when you go to the arcade, you can go do the dance and show off your hot moves. LOL I'm so serious though, this game is great fun to play with others and it's such a serious workout. It's totally addictive!

We have two DDR games: DDR Extreme 2 and DDR Max 2. The first is a bigger hit with our 13, 11, and 8 year olds. They like the song selections better from the first. Both are basically the same otherwise. I love that they are exhausted when they are done playing!

okay,so this one time i went to celebration station and saw these people stomping on a pad and it was ddr so i told myself that was a stupid game then i got bored with my games so i was searching on the internet and found ddr the whole family agreed to it so we bought it.then i loved it SOOO much. and just a few days ago i played it at the arcade and my friend set it on maxx unlimited a.k.a. the hardest song and a teen girl said "this is going to be funny and i beat the song and i started beating hard songs and i got a crowd.this game will be the best game anyone can get.a definite 5 out of 5.

It works great. I never had any problems. It's easy to use. I use it. My kid loves it. Lots of fun. The music could be better. Exercise in descise. Lots of jumping and thumping.

I recieved this game for Christmas with a Dance Pad. I must say it is the most addicting game I have ever played and an extremely fun form of working out! I just play till I can not stand anymore. I exercise and do not know it. I love DDR and you will too! Great music, fun courses, awesome time! Buy it, you will love it!

I had gotten DDRMAX2 this year and DDRE for x-mas last year. I got a new mat each time I got a game (I currently have 2 mats) It is alot of fun- (DDRE can be used with an eye-toy) It even has a "WorkOut Mode" that tracks how many calories you've lost from playing Dance Dance Revolution. You can also unlock new songs as you go.

i thought at first that i wouldnt like the game, because i had tried at my friends house and i stunk! but after i did it some more i really like it. i love the fact that it tells you how many calories you burned. its fun to play with friends, and even my mom and dad play, i love it!!!!!

i gave it 4 stars because i did NOT recognize any of the music but the music is still great. and now i know the music by heart

BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-)

My son wanted this game for a present and I read the reviews and chose this one. Now he got it with a pad and it is very difficult. The reviews did not help out that much. There are complicated arrows to follow and he just cannot move that fast. A week after getting it, he does not play with it.
The customer reviews presented were not helpful and I based my purchase on them. Maybe he will revisit it but it takes a lot of coordination.

I got DDR for x-mas and I love it. This is great for exercising. I would recomend this to everyone!

After DDR MAX, MAX2 stepped it up and brought new songs from 7th mix... with the different modes and difficulties, everyone can have tons of fun no matter what skill level... Must have for the DDR lovers... i say its better than DDR MAX...

I love this game. I first tried it at my brother's house and fell in love. I had to buy it. I can't stop dancing. If you want to lose some weight, buy this game. My legs are so sore!!! I guess that means I am out of shape!!! I would highly recommend this game to anyone. If you love to dance, you will love this game.

This is a great game, anyone can learn to play it. It is fun to play, but if you play for too long, it get's really boring.It has a lot of really cool songs, and it has a few really bad songs:( It is very additicting, I played it all night when I first got it. Overall, it is a really great game for anyone.

I play DDR alot, and this one is one of the greatest! Even though with all the old DDRs, if you own one of those, get another! This game has more songs, and also lots of fun. This game doesnt take long to unlock all the songs to play with everyone!

The DDR songs that they pick is a good about a minute and a half or something like that. Of course, you may know some songs such as (i think i got the names right)

Let's Get Down Tonight
Twlight Zone
Days go By

And there is many more songs, to play and enjoy, and 4 (not including CHALLENGE mode) different song levels, and once you get to the top (HEAVY mode) you can alter it around. You can make the notes suddenly disappear near the top. Or you can make the appear in the top. You can make the top arrows disappear. And you can also make the arrows go down. There is also speed variations for slow songs, such as Keep On Liftin'. Overall, GREAT GAME!

I played DDR one night with four of my DDR freak friends and I really loved it. Two of those friends use the game as their own personal workout system, with some good results. After research, I bought DDR Max 2 and some ignition 4.0 dancepads.

The gameplay is exhilarating. I started playing with my controller and dancing along because I couldn't wait to play. With or without the dancepad is fine, but it's more fun with the dance pad. Playing just to unlock all the songs and endless mode is addicting, I almost didn't want to leave my room except for food, bathroom and water breaks.

The graphics are great, with video in the background and the dancers it's enough to get distracted but it's welcome because it's like being at a real club with video screens.

The music varies slightly. There's mostly techno/trance/house songs, with some pop and r&b and soul thrown in. I knew most of the songs before I bought the game because there are a lot of dance hits and classics and there are some songs from the other DDR games on here. You're guaranteed to find something listenable, even if the songs are extremely cheesy ones.

Be sure to contact your doctor if you can't stand much stress on your feet if you want to use a dancepad.
