'''DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution''' is the fifth home version of [[Dance Dance Revolution]] to be released in the United States. It was released by [[Konami]] on September 23, [[2003]], for the [[PlayStation 2]] video game console. DDRMAX2 contains a total of 69 songs, 28 of which are hidden and unlockable.
''This article is about the North American version of DDRMAX. For information on the Japanese version, please refer to [[:Category:Dance Dance Revolution|Dance Dance Revolution series]].''
The interface used is a recoloring and smoothing of the song wheel interface first introduced in the US in [[DDRMAX]]. The names of the difficulty modes are "Beginner," "Light," "Standard," and "Heavy," just as they were in DDRMAX.
'''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 Modes==
===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 Dance Dance Revolution|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.

(Ed.: Does MAX2 even have these?)
The core gameplay of DDRMAX2 is the same as the previous Dance Dance Revolution games. The 2-tiered scoring system which debuted on DDRMAX is still utilized on DDRMAX2.

* Due to common misunderstanding: ''Unlike Japanese home mixes, it is not possible to unlock all unlockable content by using a Support Mode in Extreme.'' Extreme's North American counterpart does not have a Support Mode and therefore cannot unlock MAX2's unlockable contents.
