[quote name='crazytalkx']This is off topic but is DDR MAX 2 better than Ultramix? I'm just wondering which one has a better songlist. But a 12 year old kid beating MAXX 300 on heavy? Crap, i can barely beat the song on standard.[/quote]
I would say Max 2. Max 2 has some Dancemania songs (Ghosts, Let's Groove, Conga Feeling, Long Train Runnin, The Whistle Song, Lovin You, Drifting Away) which Ultramix has none of. The songlist of Ultramix is composed of mostly older Konami original songs.
In other words, Max 2 is more similar to an arcade songlist than Ultramix's list
[quote name='CaseyRyback']I probably will pick up Extreme when it comes out.
I see a lot of people play it in the arcade and do not want to look completely dumb playing it in the arcade.[/quote]
I don't think you would look dumb playing on beginner or easier levels. I was on the boardwalk last night (Ocean City, NJ) and other than me and some other guys playing on Heavy mode, everyone was on beginner mode (and some were even failing).
The first time I played DDR in the arcade was 2 years ago and that was on a 3rd Mix Korean 2 machine that didn't have beginner mode and the machine was set on an 8 difficulty (which means 2 or 3 missed steps and you fail). I go up and pick Butterfly (Upswing Mix) and fail within 5 seconds. This was in front of about 20 people too, I just decided to play again and choose an easier song.
