I completely forgot to review DDRMAX, Konami's first US PS2 version of DDR, and now it's too late. It's also completely unnecessary, since DDRMAX2 is so much better! There's a large selection of songs, including some US releases (from artists like Dirty Vegas and Kylie Minogue), plus several of the songs have full screen artist videos! The videos are really cool, but steal your attention away from the arrows (so sneaky!). Tons of the songs have freeze arrows this time, which I have mixed feelings about, but I can deal with it. There are fantastic Nontop Mode courses, Endless Mode (which is awesome), and it's a ton of fun to unlock hidden songs and features (and the game lets you know your unlocking progress this time!). My favorite feature, though, is the return of the on-screen dancing characters (which they ripped out of DDRMAX), and they all look fantastic with crisp, smooth graphics. DDRMAX2 is an excellent game - great features, great songs, and a great mixture of difficulty levels to keep it interesting!
