What our customer's say!

"Cool game.", Overall good game. I wish you could add your own music as there are some genres I would love to dance to.

"I hope it becomes a REVOLUTION in our home for years to come!!!", It's going to be a great way to get in shape and have a lot of fun!!!

"Great exercise for kids and adults!", I bought this game because I heard it was good exercise and my teenage son had a PS2. Not only is it great exercise for both of us, but it is actually fun. This is the first of the DDR games that I have seen so I can't compare it with any others, but I suspect they are equally good. The music is not from my generation, but has a good beat to dance to and I get so involved in trying to follow the steps that I don't really notice.

"Great game", My son wanted this for Christmas as he has most of the other DDR games but not this original...he has been playing everyday since. He told me there are a lot of challenging dances that he likes to do.

"Fun for all the Family", We are having a blast playing this. I have two dance pads so we can compete. It's great exercise as well.

"Not as good as DDR Max 2", I bought this for my kids, age 15, 10 and 4. They LOVED DDR Max 2, so I was sure they would also love DDR MAX. Not so, they hate it. Their only reason for hating it is the songs. There is no main stream familiar music on DDR MAX, and the songs are not fun for them. For the hard core DDR group, this game is a must, however. But for the rest of us that love dancing along to something familiar, skip it.

"Good Graphics, Terrible Song Selection", I am a huge fan of DDR. Finally, a fun video game that actually burns up some calories! You'll need to pay some extra money to get a dance pad in order to truly expose the game's potential, but it's definitely worth it. The concept of it is extremely simple, as you just hit the arrows scrolling up the screen when they're in their outlined counterparts, but once you start doing this to the beat of the lively music, you'll be moving your body in enjoyment and exercise alike.

DDR Max is the United States' 3rd (4th if you count the Disney Mix) home installment of Konami's successful Dance Dance Revolution franchise that ignited in 1998. While earlier versions of DDR in the US managed to possess the arcade counterparts' interface and main list of songs, their dated status (PS1 games released in 2001 and 2002!) hindered their sales and attractiveness. Late 2002 saw the release of DDR Max US, and while it's still better than the PS1 installments, it just really doesn't use its full potential very well.

What I do like about DDR Max Dance Dance Revolution is that it brings superb updates to the graphics, which helps it keep up with modern technology. It is the first Dance Dance Revolution for the PS2, and thus delivers a sharper and smoother image. It's also much easier to select a song to dance to, as it overstates the song details on the "Select Music Screen".

DDR Max also brings in an innovation to the challenge of DDR with freeze arrows, which are steps that force you to hold your foot on an arrow until the freeze arrow disappears. Freeze arrows can force you to spin around your pad, otherwise resulting in an N.G., where you don't hold a freeze arrow for the required amount of time.

I also adore the addition of the "groove radar", which helps players track down not just how hard a song is, but how it's hard in different ways: Stream (the amount of steps), Voltage (the highest precipitation of steps in a small amount of time), Chaos (the amount of syncopated steps), Air (the amount of double-steps), and Freeze (the overall amount and length of freeze arrows).

The many different modes that can be played with make things significantly fun. The Lesson Mode can teach new players how to pay the game, and after that, they can start practicing in the Training Mode before they're ready to handle a regular game. You can also keep track of your fitness using the Workout Mode, which shows you how many calories you've been burning lately. The Edit Mode allows you to customize your own steps to songs for when, for example, you want a bigger challenge on a particular song. New to DDR Max is the Nonstop Challenge/Oni Mode, a competitive challenge that forces you to play several songs in a row. If you miss one step, you lose a life, and you only have four lives at the start (although you gain one life for clearing one song)!

With more memory space thanks to the PS2, consumers will get to choose from a much larger song list than they could on the PS1 versions. Instead of about 30 or 50 songs (the amount that the older DDR's had), you can choose from over seventy songs of dancing music...

But that leads to the bad news. With so many songs available, Konami of America probably thought that they could get away with leaving us all of the worst songs that they've created. In other words, the songs on DDR Max are extremely monotonous, and they aren't even very fun to dance to. The Japanese have their own edition of DDR Max (called DDR Max: Dance Dance Revolution 6th Mix), and while there are extremely few tunes that can be selected, the ones that can are fun, catchy, and have awesome steps. Almost all of those songs, such as "WWW.Blonde Girl", "Witch Doctor", and "Let's Groove", are completely absent for the United States, and instead, we get a bunch of boring, lame, and un-danceable R&B-ish stuff like "Deep in You", "Peace-Out", and "Let's Talk it Over". I know that there are clearly some people who will enjoy these songs, but come on, this is supposed to be a DANCING GAME, not a sleep-walking game. Most of the songs don't even use freeze arrows, since they're mainly Konami Originals from Japanese PS1 versions, which didn't feature freeze arrows. On the upside, hardcore DDR fans will spend hours playing old classics like "Rhythm and Police", "PARANOiA Evolution", and "Max 300", while newer players will have a blast playing the DDR Max US-exclusive songs "I Like to Move it" and "Sandstorm". Those are all splendid songs, but with very few good tunes with a selection of over seventy, the enjoyment out of the music is comparable to that of the old editions. Needless to say, there's hardly anything for anyone.

While new innovations make DDR Max a sensible choice for the DDR crowd in the United States, it just isn't enough, and not enough thought was put into it. The song list is the main source of power for a Dance Dance Revolution game, and without a good selection of dance tunes, newbies will never get hooked on such a great game. Instead, I recommend purchasing either DDR Max 2 US or DDR Extreme 2 US. Both games possess the graphical brilliance of DDR Max, but also feature a much more diverse and enjoyable selection of songs. They also include Beginner's Mode, and without it, new dancers would possibly never be able to get better at such a challenging game. Your best bet is to just leave this game on the shelves until you really need it.

"THIS IS 100% MAX !", I love this game!This game was in my hands since my 9th birthday and my brother says I play it too much.You will never want to stop playing the game and if you do,you will most likley whine about it.There are some cool things you can do during the game.For example,you can make your own moves in edit mode.You can also do the nonstop challenge mode.You can even get information about new stuff.And you can get in shape with workout mode.You have to get this game. And trust me,this game is 100% MAX!

"So much FUN!!", This game rocks!! There are slow songs for beginners and it gets really fast with faster songs! I started slow and got really really fast. It would be a perfect Christmas gift any kid would love it. (Adults also like the game because you lose calories!)

"DDR Max.....................................a never forgotten game by the whole world", I own DDR Max (I'm saying that I have the PS2 version). I often play it. One of my faves are "On The Jazz","Max 300", Orion Civilization" and more songs. As it is played in local arcades and resident homes, I grade DDR Max as 5 stars (that is why). There ain't no stoppin' this cool game from it's players.
