Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (PlayStation 2, 2004)

My daughter and I love this game. You can even have it set up to show you how many calories you burned and keeps track for you. Songs are fun, some even have videos you can watch. You get Graded on how well you do and makes you want to keep trying to get a better score. Great Excersize and Fun, from kids to adults.

We even upgraded to a more squishy pad. I Highly Recommend getting the Foam Insert Ones. Better on your Feet and Won't move around.

This Game is Really Fun and a Great Alternative then just sitting there Zoning out! (That's sometimes Fun too though)!

The Dance Dance Revolution series is getting a little long in the tooth these days. The fire around the fad has cooled down quite a bit, but that doesn't mean the series isn't capable of putting out strong games. While most of the recent installments in the series haven't done much beyond adding the requisite mixture of new and old songs, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, goes beyond the standard update and delivers some new styles of gameplay that freshen up the experience without sacrificing the things that made the games popular in the first place. Most of the new features come as a result of support for the EyeToy, which isn't implemented throughout the entire game, but it makes a pretty substantial impact on the overall package. In short, this is a solid update.

DDR Extreme starts by doing all the things that you'd expect a new Dance Dance Revolution game to do. It contains the standard gameplay modes, including a mission mode that gives you specific challenges to complete, a regular arcade mode that lets you take on three songs at a time, an endless mode that lets you dance until you drop, and a diet mode that counts calories while you dance. You can play the game alone or with a friend, or you can play in double mode, which allows one player to play using two dance mats. Dance mats are key to the DDR experience. The timing-based gameplay can be translated to a controller, but simply mashing out directional presses in time to the music is about as much fun as playing your PlayStation 2 without a game disc in it.

For the uninitiated, DDR is a dancing game. You use your feet to press arrows on a dance mat that, as you might have guessed, goes on your floor. The arrows correspond with arrows on your screen, which directs you to step on the four arrows in time with the music. The game has more than 50 songs, with several different difficulty levels for each one, giving players of all skill levels something to do. You can even select difficulty levels individually in a two-player game, so each player can dance at his or her own skill level. The game scores and grades you based on how accurately you step on the arrows. It's a lot of fun and works especially well in a crowd, provided your crowd isn't filled with stuck-up dopes who think they're too good for a little silly dancing.

Where DDR Extreme separates itself from the pack is in its party mode. There are a variety of minigames to choose from here, each of which can be a drastically different type of game than what DDR fans are used to. Hyper dash turns the game into a side-scrolling race in which you have to stomp on the right and left arrows as quickly as possible, occasionally pausing to push the up arrow to jump or the down arrow to fling pitfalls at your opponent. Another game matches up each arrow with a different type of food, and you'll have to tap the proper type of food to feed a variety of onscreen animals. But where the game really earns its stripes is with its support for the EyeToy.

This game keeps you moving...I bought 2 of the metal champion dance mats and myself,my husband, and my 2 teenagers love it. Be ready to sweat and have lots of fun.

I don't dislike, but I am 29 years old who like to dance at the dancing pad.
And I use the game to do some work out. So I bought for my work out, but it have more games than dancing music. So for this reason is a great game if you are young and want to play with your friends , but with you are old like me.
Isn't that great.

There are about 5 songs or less that i actually like to play the game to. Not many choices, other than that, it's like any other DDR game.

Songs are crummy, game is the same. A few good tunes, but nothing "new". They really need to get some good electronic stuff and throw out the junky top 40's...no one can DDR to rap or Kelly Clarkson, WTF? Its also slow to play the song intros.

My son wanted one and it has a lot of foot movement which is like a workout which makes this a great buy for anyone. The game was in good conditon and it shipped really quick.

Honestly the game itself was fun, but shipping took a lot longer than most of the items I've purchased from ebay. If shipping was faster I'd rate it better.

very quick shipping i was very pleased with the transaction. this was for my sister and they cant get enough of this game.

This particular DDR is different from the previous versions and the later versions in that you can unlock songs and bonuses by playing in Workout Mode. It's kind of annoying since even the nonstop mode only has 5 max levels but it's still a good fun workout. Of all the older DDRs, except DDR Max, I think this one is the best if you are using DDR to help suppliment your workout program.

I had the game in the past when I was younger and had a blast playing it. Now, I just want an easy fun way to burn calories! I LOVE it!

I like the fact that the game was rather inexpensive; didn't want to spend alotin case it didn't work. But, got the game home and my family loves it. Bought the product because it is what my family was wanting and I found it at a reasonable price.

I bought this game a couple months ago for my kids and they loved it !
even this is game is not a recent release,but the best part of it is that
my wife started to use it as a work out routine.Great game for the whole family
and you can have lots of fun with friends of all ages,the music is kind of retro
so if you are in your 30's you will recognize many tracks on it.
5✭ game highly recommended.

I love my game. It is a lot of fun and I play it every day. It was a reasonable price and I will probably buy more DDR games soon. It is a great source of exercise.

Good game for a good price. Good for those who like to dance and burn calories while doing it. Execlent slection of music for all to enjoy.

Excellent!! I am very pleased with everyting! My kids enjoy the game. It is a great workout fro anyone any age.

I own DDR MAX-supernova 2. This is game is decent compared to others. The song list is comparatively better... the mission mode is annoying. Good.

Product arrived in good condition. Would buy from this seller again. Sent the item very very quickly.

this game does provide a great workout, especially on higher levels. Our 10 year daughter hates exercise, but loves this game. highly recommend for overweight gamers.

I Decided To Buy Dance Dance Revoultion Because It Was Cheap And Becuase It Was A Great Deal. Another reason why i bought it it because it was a "Buy Now" item.

Great way to get my teenager to exersize instead of watching tv throughout the summer break.
Thanks Again,

This game is so amazing-it really helped me to burn off the calories and weight!!! Endless fun and entertainment!! I have d.d.r. parties all the time!!

This game is sooooooooooo hot- everyone was dying when they were waiting their turn. It makes you sweat, and the musics pumping, what else can you ask for?
