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.

Platform: PlayStation 2<br />
* Song names represented here are from their Japanese mixes. Corrections will be made shortly.
Release Date (North America): November 28, 2002<br />
* The steps for ''Paranoia Max (Dirty Mix)'' in this game are frequently referred to as Another steps, an alternative set of steps that could substitute the regular steps in older versions of arcade DDR.
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
* Due to common misunderstanding: ''Unlike Japanese home mixes, it is not possible to unlock all unlockable content by using a Support Mode in MAX2.'' MAX2's North American counterpart does not have a Support Mode and therefore cannot unlock MAX's unlockable contents.
== 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 [[DDRMAX2: Dance Dance Revolution|DDRMAX2]])
=== 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 ===
