Summary: Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2 rocks!
Comment: Although it is missing some of the classic DDR tracks (as most recent DDR titles are), the game delivers more of the same fun dancing simulation that has been around since the beginning of Bemani. Some excellent new tracks have been added such as PARANOiA HADES and TRIP MACHINE PhoeniX.

Summary: potential to be extremely annoying
Comment: the scope of this review centers on the hard charts (expert+) in the game. i am an experienced but not great DDR player and my favorite game is ITG.
i echo the one reviewer who pointed out how annoying the charts can be. there is an insane amount of jumps ("air") built into the charts, often as part of streams, which more often than not crossover. this is considerably difficult to step accurately on soft pads without a bar. why?
1) if you're on the tall and heavy side, crossovers in general will give you trouble (simply a speed issue).
2) quickly stepping in and out jumps can only be accomplished through messy sliding if your weight remains on your feet the whole time (no bar!).
3) quick-tapping into jumps is similarly a mess on soft pads, for exactly the same reason (weight remains on your feet).
your ankles won't like it, and more likely than not you won't like it either.
the problem is not so much that some of the songs use this to be difficult, it's that nearly all of them do. i simply hate charts like "arrabiata" or "unreal". the few good and(!) challenging ones (like "eternus", "the beginning of the end" or "seduction") simply can't compensate for the rest.
as others pointed out the master mode suffers form the fact that the difficult centers around mods and not so much around the steps. charts where arrows are only visible randomly or where a double display is supposed to be danced on a single pad, can be solved through memorizing them but there's no fun in that.
the altered grading compared to supernova is another thing i dislike since the window for an "A" is pretty small now. basically, a chart which you can get an A on, you will eventually AA.
i'm sure a more skillful player dancing with shoes/hard pad in a diagonal stance will not have much trouble with any of the non-boss charts in the game. but even if i could dance like this, i DDR for the fun exercise it's supposed to provide and this game simply fails in that regard. 2* at most.

Summary: A fun game, but nothing new.
Comment: Being a fan of DDR SuperNova, I decided to purchase the sequel. SuperNova 2 is basically the same as its predesesor. It does contain some new and fun songs. However the format is very similar. You have to play your way through the game at the levels the cpu deems fit. It's annoying at first, because people who have the acquired skills are forced to do songs on easy or beginner. It does progress to more intense challenges though. I would say this game is a lot of fun b/c I love to DDR. If you are debating whether to get the first Supernova or the Second, I'd go with the first one.
On to the seller. Well, the game arrived within two weeks. The only thing I have to complain about is the fact that the game did not come in the original container with the SuperNova 2 graphics. It came in a plain black container. It did have the game's manual.

Summary: great exercise and lots of fun!
Comment: This was a surprise for my kids. I ordered it with two mats. They immmediately started playing. I was nice to see kids move for a chenge when the Ps2 is involved :). I tried it and it took my breath away! Great exercise!

Summary: Going back to "In the Groove"
Comment: My first ever game was In the Groove for PC/Mac because I didn't have a game console to buy DDR. My spouse gave me a PS2 for Christmas and bought me SuperNova 2. There are several differences between DDR and ITG in general which make me favor ITG:
1. Songs on ITG are longer than DDR. I like the longer songs for endurance reasons.
2. I can not stand the dancing people graphics and the razzing announcer when you screw up on DDR. Maybe because I am not used to it, but it gets on my nerves.
3. I like the arrow layouts on ITG better because they:
A. Don't blink so they are easier to focus on.
B. The colors on ITG clearly state the beat. Red is a quarter note, Blue is an 8th note, green is a 16th note, so it extremely easy to follow the arrow patterns.
As far as SuperNova 2 goes, I found many of the songs to be entirely TOO SLOW. I am talking about songs with 90 beats a minute so it doesn't matter how difficult the steps are, it won't be that much of a challenge. I sold my copy of Supernova 2 after having it for less than a month. However, I do like DDR Max 2. I like the songs WAY better than SuperNova 2. If you are wanting a recommendation for a DDR game for PS2, I would highly recommend Max 2. If you are a newbie, SuperNova 2 isn't that bad, but once you get better, you will want to leave those slow tempo-ed songs behind you.
