Pros:The song selection is diverse in speeds, genres, and difficultyThe 20-foot rating system is a must for DDR players who could do 9 or 10-footers on the games beforeThe increasing cheesiness of Street Master Mode and the announcer is actually funny (see DDR Universe 3 for the pinnacle of announcer cheesiness)Cons:The Street Master Mode is uninspiring for an experienced DDR playerNotable:Songs with a difficulty around nine or thirteen are comparable to jogging and sprinting respectively in terms of burning caloriesMy first DDR game was DDR Extreme and I have no idea how long I have been playing (7 years perhaps). I own all main PS2 DDR games except DDR X2, and this game is slightly better than DDR Max 2 in terms of song selection. For fans of DDR, surely buy this game; for newcomers to the franchise, purchase DDR Extreme 2 and/or DDR Max 2 at a very reasonable price (DDR Hottest Party 3 if you have a Wii). I bought the game from goHastings and it arrived like new.
