Dance Dance Revolution Extreme

Pull out your dance mats, take off your shoes, and get ready to show off your best moves.

The revolution rolls into its third PS2 title, and it?s still gathering steam. Dance Dance Revolution Extreme works equally well as an introduction to the dance craze or as an upgrade for old-school beat junkies.

PLUR Not Included

Konami is doing its darnedest to keep DDR from becoming a stagnant franchise. Mission mode presents a challenging sequence of songs to master, while an Edit mode lets players create their own moves for any of the included songs. Though most of the songs are poppy club music, there?s a surprising amount of variety and the tunes serve their purpose perfectly.

For the truly extreme, dancing across two pads offers the ultimate challenge for your skills. Workout mode is still part of the package, providing a candy-colored alternative to the gym. You can even monitor how many calories you?ve burned while watching trippy graphics and video clips. The die-hard DDR crowd will cheer the return of Oni mode, which has been absent of late. Whether you?re practicing in lesson mode or rolling through all 100 minutes of music in endless mode, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme is a fantastic way to get your blood circulating.

Dance Like No One?s Watching?

DDR veterans will have no trouble at all getting into the new EyeToy features?though it does mean another peripheral to invest in. XXX mode uses the EyeToy to add hand movements to the mix, finally breaking down the last barrier between you and the groove.

Other mini-games include an Arkanoid-like ball breaker and Crazy Coconuts, an inspired creation in which you must run in place on the dance pad to shake coconuts, pineapples, and tuna cans loose from your palm tree, then catch them as they fall to rack up points. Warning: With two players, an extremely large screen is required! With stylish graphics, more songs, and the inclusion of the EyeToy games, DDR Extreme will keep your party jumpin? till the break of dawn.
