Overview

Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME (usually shortened to DDR EXTREME) is a game in the popular Dance Dance Revolution (Franchise) franchise. The Japanese arcade version features one of the largest soundtracks in the series with 240 songs.

During the credits of the Japanese Playstation 2 version, a montage of the logo screens for all the previous games in the series is shown, followed by a message saying "Thank you for ALL..." This led to speculation that this would be the last DDR game, but obviously that ended up not being the case.

Differences between the Japanese and North American PS2 releases

Despite both being called Dance Dance Revolution EXTREME, the North American and Japanese home versions are very different games.

The Japanese version has a much larger soundtrack with 111 songs and more resembles the arcade version. The North American version has fewer songs and more licensed songs that may be recognizable to the mainstream.

The North American version also includes a bunch of new modes with gameplay that strays away from the normal DDR formula. Some of the modes are built to use theEyeToy (Franchise).

Game Modes

The Playstation 2 version includes additional game modes aside from the standard arcade mode.

Nonstop Mode

Nonstop Mode is similar to the standard mode, except players must continue playing with much shorter breaks and the dance gauge lowers more than usual when the player misses steps.

Challenge Mode

Challenge Mode gives the player songs with certain goals to meet and specific modifiers activated.

Feeding Time (North America Only)

In Feeding Time, the different arrows on the dance pad are assigned to different types of food. The player must match the arrow they hit with the animal that is displayed on screen.

Watch Me Dance (North America Only)

Watch Me Dance plays like the standard mode, but uses the EyeToy to display the player on the screen as they play.

Clean the Screen (North America Only)

In Clean the Screen, obstructions appear on the screen as the player is playing songs. Using the EyeToy, they must move their arms around to wipe them away.

Hands and Feet (North America Only)

Hands and Feet adds two additional targets on the screen. Using the EyeToy, the player must use their hands to hit notes alongside the normal arrows.

Magical Ball (North America Only)

Magical Ball doesn't require a dance pad, and is an EyeToy minigame similar to Arkanoid (Game).

Coconut Panic (North America Only)

Coconut Panic doesn't require a dance pad, and is an EyeToy minigame that has the player shaking trees and collecting coconuts.

Soundtrack

Each version of the game has a different soundtrack, with a few songs shared. The arcade and Japanese PS2 versions are more similar than the North American PS2 version.
