Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 (Xbox 360, 2007)

The 2007 edition of "Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2" for Microsoft's Xbox360 takes a big step upwards and onwards in dance-dance evolution with lots more rockin' tunes, high-definition graphics, and plenty of all-new game modes.

Here's what you get:

• More than 65 new songs, including special songs and dance remixes made exclusively for the Xbox 360; licensed songs; and real-world hits -- over 100+ minutes of music!

• All-new nonstop megamixes now offer "DJ continuous mixes" of multiple songs by popular dance-music artists such as Depeche Mode; Earth, Wind & Fire; and the Sugar Hill Gang...just like a real club!

• New features and enhancements to the original DDR Series and include Challenge Mode; Edit mode; Jukebox mode; Party mode; Quest mode; Training mode; Workout mode; and even Live mode!

• How-To-Play, Trial and Super-Easy modes -- all specially created for this Xbox edition -- help first-time players and beginners get up to speed!

• Brand-New Relay mode lets you "hand off" your fancy footwork to members of the team, so you can keep the party dancing all night long!

• Xbox-enabled line online competition lets up to 4 Players compete head-to-head (and step by step) in real time; download new songs and dance steps; upload content; view Internet ranking; exchange Instant Messages/email; talk live and more!

• New Freestyle Mode lets you dance however you want, without the arrows!

But the DDR Universe is not perfect: Background graphics are still cheesy -- which might be OK if they were not so distracting -- but at least now they are high definition.

Published by Kunami, Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 is not yet rated but does feature suggestive themes and lyrics. Comes with its own game disc and instruction book. Requires a next-generation console.

Great quality and it's a energized game that's for sure!! I enjoy using the workout mode, it changes pace and steps when you become a master it's still hard!! The smooth game quality allows me to enjoy it for the future of the konami game legacy. I would in the future purchase other game to continue the series. I would recommend this game to anyone it is really for children, adults, to make you sweat, and do repeating the arrows and the back rounds are designed to mess with your eyes while playing!!! The game has some of the hottest tracks from all over the world it makes it dynamic. Master at any skill from beginner to medium, difficult, expert mode!

The game is fairly easy to navigate, and there are of course some new and exciting songs involved, of course that's the case for most DDR games, so what more can one expect? Great game altogether, though not much different (with the exception of songs of course) from DDR Universe 1.

My husband bought me Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2, I enjoy dancing and also enjoy music. The soundtrack to the video game could be better, I don't mind techno music but you could at least use musicians who I have heard of. I only knoew like 4 groups on the soundtrack. They need to get with Guitar Hero people to find musicians. I wanted to get this because I love to dance, it is a great way to wake up in the morning and get some cardio in without leaving your living room. I hope this helps someone.

The thing that I love about this game is that it has a lot of songs that I love and have always wanted to try on ddr I decided to buy this game cuz I liked the first one so I figured I would love the second one even more.
