DanceDanceRevolution X (PS2) (North America)

Uh, guys, why the hell did you down-rate this guy? It's his first post and there's nothing wrong with it.

I LOVE UNLOCKING A SONG AND THEN BEING REQUIRED TO BUY IT.

BOSS RUSH X is clearable as Challenge Course, but it requires practice in 2 last stages of the course and a long time .

Yesterday I've continued my DDR X saved game ... I need unlock Lift You Up, Poseidon, Waiting 4 U, Xmix3, Xmix5, Dance Celebration remix, Blind Justice, Pluto, Pluto Relinquish and Saber Wing Akira Ishirara remix (all remain songs and all courses available ).
I only play Standard Game Mode for now ... my Street Master Mode still in 0%

Now in my game...

Default Final Stage = Pluto (locked)
Default Extra Stage = Saber Wing Akira Ishihara Headshot Mix (locked)
Default Encore Extra Stage = Pluto Relinquish (locked)

Trigger Expert really AAA'able in any way including Encore Extra Stage
Trigger Challenge totally FC'able. (but I can't get full combo every time )
Altough, I needed around 4.5 hours to get AAA 5 greats in Trigger Challenge (994,5XX)
Sometimes I can make the full combo, other times the result is AA with several steps failed, or AA with 3 fails maximum, or Greats between 8-15.
In middle of my practice, I wasn't believed achieve AAA full combo 5 greats in Trigger Challenge . Obviously WITH CONTROLLER
I'm believed to clear BOSS RUSH X as Challenge Course

My Information updated to 67%
Some information requires full combo all songs in Challenge?
What songs are the suggested for 1,000,000 and 0 points score info?

Hm...

DDR X CheatCC review score: 4.1/5

Hottest Party 2 CheatCC review score: 2.9/5

If I may:



Uh....huh

The DDRX review gets - at least - a thought out review, but the Hottest Party 2 review by that woman only mentions "underwhelming graphics" without mentioning the KO artists.


...huh...

Edit: Just noticed that you linked it to the second page of each article.

Note: CheatCC is crap.

In reference to Konami getting you to buy each game, I think Universe 3 might be an ESSENTIAL for anyone with a 360, because it looks like it could be the best US release in DDR history.

I know! If they put some more licenses like "When I Grow Up", or "Don't Stop The Music", or "Disturbia" (etc, etc), then this game definitely be THE best in DDR US history!

---

Oh my god, if Don't Stop The Music is on Universe 3 I might have to buy a 360! Lol.


So I'm finding it hard to be motivated about DDR X right now. I like SMM, but it seems like it's taking me longer than usual to unlock everything. SuperNOVA 2 only took me about 6 hours to completely unlock, and I've had DDR X for over a week now I think? And it's still not unlocked completely.

Oh and I'm such a whore for Saber Wing. I think the challenge steps are kinda ridiculous, but certainly manageable.
I tried Horatio Expert on my 20$ gamestop pad and about 2/3 of the way through it got bunched up and I failed. =[
I think it'd be fun on a real pad though?

Disturbia (now that I've heard it) is pretty recent a hit. It might be too expensive to license for now . But it's a good song.

---

Considering they did license Doesn't Really Matter, I have a feeling that most any hip-hop / R&B song would be cheaper to license than that

---

Horatio Expert is indeed fun on a "real" pad. Add to the fact that I didn't think I'd be able to pass it at all and it's one of my most favorite charts in DDR X.

In fact, at the BPM it's running on, it's a good chart to use as practice for anyone who wants to clear Pandemonium on ITG.

Oh yeah, there's an 18 footer that's pretty well hidden and it deserves every right to be called an 18.

Xmix5 (Overcrush) Expert Doubles

That's one crazy chart. Add the fact that it also includes a piece of stepchart from a song that looks like an error, and someone is going to slip.

I also didn't know that:

PR Difficult Doubles was a 15, Pluto Expert Doubles was a 15, PR Expert Doubles was an 18.

---

ROFL. XD. LMAO. Only in the sense that a 6 footer is good practice for anyone who wants to clear a 10 footer.
Hate to be the one to explain the basics to you, but learning trills on two panels will only get you the beginning and ending of Pandemonium. Even when you can FC _______, you'll still be a long way from doing well on the constant candles and step jumps in the middle of Pandemonium.

---

It'll attract the plebes who aren't already DDR fans, but abundance of these songs alone won't make it the best game.

---

X mix 5 doubles should definitely NOT be an 18. There's only one hard part, and it's only 4 measures of 8th notes at 400. They're candles, yes, but they're not crossovers. 17 is more appropriate for this chart. Trigger oni (singles) is also a 16 (maybe 17) at best. PR doubles definitely deserves the 18 rating (as does expert doubles), but I'm not sure about the singles chart. It's far too easy to BS.

---

lol, cheatcc

Anyways, I just thought I'd mention this. I went to WalMart the other day and DDR X was going for 69.99 O_O

How's that possible?

PR may be the only reason. Power 3 in Universe is rated a 9 (but so are all the Power Mixes on that game), but only Castlevania is that difficult. Nothing else comes close.

---

are you sure?

but this is the website though, but still i would check with your Wal-mart on what the price is...ALSO do they mean the bundle or game only?

---

Trigger Oni is definitely a 17. PR also deserves it's rating. I can't beat PRH, but I can beat Trigger Oni, but Trigger Oni is definitely a 17. Yknow, I find PR to be kinda like FAXX, I just can't beat one part of the song, the ending. Dunno why, but I just can't.

---

I know why. It's because the rest of the song is a 9 (old rating), comparable to Afronova, or HVAM. Anybody that can do Afronova or HVAM should have little trouble getting to the end runs of PR.

---

I'm gonna have to disagree about Trigger. I've beaten Pluto Relinquish Expert and Dead End GRS, but Trigger Oni killed me really quickly both times I played it. It's definatly an 18 and I'd go so far as to say it's is the currently the hardest DDR chart, if not PHO.
