"One of My Keepers"
Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2 brings a new set of songs into the Dance Dance Revolution world. As usual, depending on the songs you personally enjoy, this could be a good or a not-so-good thing.

I always find it fascinating where one person says they hate game X because the song set sucks - and then another person says they adore game X because the song set list is to awesome!! We all have very different tastes in music. It is well worth it to look at the song list for yourself and see if the songs appeal to you or not. No game will ever have 100% songs you love - but there should at least be a few that you're going to enjoy playing.

I have several DDR games and I use SuperNova 2 as my "warm up set" before I move on to the other games. So when I go downstairs to where my DDR mat and such are set up, I'll start with this SuperNova 2 game. It tends to have slower songs that get my muscles and legs warmed up. So it has Unbelievable, Got to Be Real and Take On Me (with the actual music video). These are all relatively slow but are fun to dance to (for me!) and get me moving. After I do two sets of these three, I pop out the DVD and move on to the actual high energy songs I plan on playing with for the afternoon. Then when I'm winding down I'll go back to these to end up with.

What if you hate the 3 songs I mentioned? Well luckily for you there are tons more :) So what one person likes, another person hates. It's the way these games work.

The graphics are certainly nice enough for a PS2 level system, and I've played it on everything from a little laptop to a bit high definition TV. It works fine in all situations. Right now I have my laptop set up in the basement with the mat and I can see the arrows and moves quite easily on it.

I have played with workout mode, but really it's easier for me to just hit 'sort' a few times to get them into the most-played order, play through the few songs I want to warm up with, and then move on.

I like the steps on the songs I play, but again your mileage may vary depending on the songs you tend to play with.

In general I suggest you look through the full song list and if you see things here you like - enjoy! If the songs just don't appeal to you, there are certainly enough other DDR games for you to choose from. For me this is a keeper!


"great exercise and lots of fun!"
This was a surprise for my kids. I ordered it with two mats. They immmediately started playing. I was nice to see kids move for a chenge when the Ps2 is involved :). I tried it and it took my breath away! Great exercise!

"Going back to "In the Groove""
My first ever game was In the Groove for PC/Mac because I didn't have a game console to buy DDR. My spouse gave me a PS2 for Christmas and bought me SuperNova 2. There are several differences between DDR and ITG in general which make me favor ITG:

1. Songs on ITG are longer than DDR. I like the longer songs for endurance reasons.

2. I can not stand the dancing people graphics and the razzing announcer when you screw up on DDR. Maybe because I am not used to it, but it gets on my nerves.

3. I like the arrow layouts on ITG better because they:

A. Don't blink so they are easier to focus on.

B. The colors on ITG clearly state the beat. Red is a quarter note, Blue is an 8th note, green is a 16th note, so it extremely easy to follow the arrow patterns.

As far as SuperNova 2 goes, I found many of the songs to be entirely TOO SLOW. I am talking about songs with 90 beats a minute so it doesn't matter how difficult the steps are, it won't be that much of a challenge. I sold my copy of Supernova 2 after having it for less than a month. However, I do like DDR Max 2. I like the songs WAY better than SuperNova 2. If you are wanting a recommendation for a DDR game for PS2, I would highly recommend Max 2. If you are a newbie, SuperNova 2 isn't that bad, but once you get better, you will want to leave those slow tempo-ed songs behind you.



"Yet another fantastic DDR game."
This game is fun and keeps in line with all of the other great DDR games. It has great songs, and improved graphics for a real treat. Definitely recommend this game.

"xmas gift"
Bought this for my 14yr old daughter for Christmas and she loves it. In fact, I just asked her what she thought about it and she said its really awesome! I wanted to get her something that would get her off the couch and this has helped. At first she was really frustrated because she was having trouble with the steps but after a few days she was doing pretty good. She was on that thing for hours and really worked up a sweat. I thought it looked pretty easy and gave it a try and boy does it work you out. I am not as good as my daughter and I have it on easy. All in all I think it was a good buy.
