DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution

''This article is about the North American version of DDRMAX. For information on the Japanese version, please refer to Dance Dance Revolution/Disambiguations.''

DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution is the second PS2 version of the Dance Dance Revolution series to hit North America.

Disclaimer: Although the game shares the same name as its arcade counterpart, the songlists are quite different as they were catered to a North American market. However, most of the game remains unchanged from the arcade version.

Game Mode
This mode simulates arcade gameplay with memory card capabilities on. It follows the traditional route of choosing a style (single, double, versus), difficulty, and song.

Workout Mode
This mode is similar to Game Mode but tones down the gameplay for a more aerobic workout, and allows tracking of personal fitness goals in a diary.

Lesson Mode
This mode allows new players to learn the basics of DDR one step at a time (pun intended).

Edit Mode
Selecting this will bring up the step editor, allowing you to create new stepcharts for songs in the game. Edits can be transferred to a separate file on your memory card which can be transferred to your friend's memory card if you wish to share it with him, or to previous/future DDR games with common songs. (eg. Jam & Marmalade in both this game and DDRMAX)

Options
Allows for editing game, graphic, controller, and memory options.

Records
Selecting this mode will view a table of your grades according to song, style, and difficulty level. Upon selecting a specific score, you can then see the numeric score and max combo. You may also choose to erase the record.

Information
After doing specific things in-game, the Information mode will open up more information on songs, artists, game modes, as well as tips on improving your skills at the game.

Special Condition Unlocks
(Ed.: Does MAX2 even have these?)
