Ah, Japanese Imports. Remember when there was a time where American developers tried their best to make sure that games that come overseas are as authentic as the original?
Yeah, me neither, and DDR Extreme 2 is a prime example. As if Extreme's replay value wasn't bad enough, now you can dance to the songs that you're so tired of hearing on the radio and on television everyday. Most DDR fans actually enjoy the international flavor of the DDR series, including Japanese, Euro, and American artists. However, not only is this game lacking flavor, it's also the same game, only more frustrating and pointless to earn more songs. Extreme 2 makes you compete in a Dance Master mode, which is like the Mission Mode (you know, the mode you never played) but more annoying. After clearing these levels, you earn credit to buy more songs that you don't want to dance to. Rinse and repeat.
To put it simply, the game is the same as the previous version, and it's pretty clear early on that Bemani wasted their time trying to get song licenses than making a better game.
They chose to not use their time making a better, more enjoyable game, so in turn, you shouldn't waste your time playing it. Save your money and go buy previous versions of DDR, or even the imports. Or pay your rent. Whatever's good for you.
Save yourself the trouble guys, cause this game blows.
