Let me just start this review out my making this fact clear by saying i am a huge Dance Dance Revolution fan! And when i say huge, i mean HUGE! I can play for more then five hours in a row without stopping once to take a break. I can get an “A” on every song on the heavy difficulty. Now on to the review…
Graphics: The graphics in Dance Dance Revolution look much cooler then the first one. The arrows show off, a kind of 3d’ish look, which looks much better then the first one. Also, the character models are much better then they are in the first one. When i say better, i mean graphics wise. Besides those two improvements though, the graphics remain simplistic, although, that is how Konami intended it to be.
Gameplay: The gameplay is amazing in DDR 2. It is great fun, dancing all over your pad knocking huge combos off. If your good enough too, you can try and anticipate breakdancing on the dance pad. But thats only for pros… There is a huge song list for you to choose from, however it is no where near as good as the song list in the first Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix game, but it is still bearable.
Audio: Oh My God! Those annoying/stupid/inaccurate anouncers! I want to seriousely kill them! First of all, they will tell you to try harder when you are winning by over 100,000 points and second of all, ever three-four seconds, they will come out with some totally unecessary comment such as “Your giving me dance fever,” or “shake it, baby shake it!” Like i mentioned before, the songs are bearable, but no where near as good as the first list of songs in the original DDR ultramix.
Online: The online is super fun, and one good thing in DDR Ultramix 2, is that they’re are new gametypes which include Bomb, Attack and Quad which are all pretty self explanatory. The problem though with the online aspect, is that it will refuse to show you your rank, which i found extremely frustrating. Also, it can just suddenly freeze up on you forcing you to reboot your Xbox.
In conclusion, DDR 2 Ultramix is very fun, but if i were you, i would stick to the first Ultramix game due to the better song list and plus, you won’t have to deal with restarting your Xbox Console every once in a while…

I love this DDR game, but this dance pad blows. The dance pad I recieved from amazon didn’t work at all, so I sent it back. Next, I went to gamestop to buy it. Guess what…still didn’t work. Save your money and buy a different pad.

i asked for this pad for christmas and got it. it seemed to be pretty good and at the time i added it to my wish list there was only 1 review and it was positive. many other pads had quite a few bad reviews. after only using this about 3 times the down arrow stopped working. we will be returning it and trying a new one…this time from a store that i can easily return it without shipping charges.

I found this controller to be a very poor choice. Even for the price, the quality is abysmal. The reception from the pad itself is laggy (if you can even get a connection). Lag is very bad for a game where timing is key.
On top of the lag, the pad itself is very poor. The sensors in the pad are very small and you must step directly on the arrows. Definitely not a good choice for beginners. Just buy a wired controller.

The Pelican Night Moves Wireless Dance is great because it is larger than most dance pads, which for adults is great. I don’ really care too much about being wireless, but I did wish you could plug a regular xbox xtender cable into the wireless receiver. Overall a the best soft pad out there…
