I don't know if you guys and gals are aware of this, but in YouTube there is an user named "phantom7373tr", and is playing the mission mode with each character, and it has to be for one particular reason, and that may be the secret folder on "information", which may (or may not) be linked to the DisneyMix songs on the disc masterlist.

Keep an eye on the "phantom" because he may be on the trail on how to get access on the secret folder.

Er...you shouldn't be expecting those Disney songs on X

.

They are likely planning another Disney Mix...this time containing more 'classic' Disney songs, rather than the modern ones in DCE.

mequetrefe413, you do realize that none of those songs are actually on the disc, as in there is absolutely NO audio data. They only exist as a part of a string of text known as the "Master List" that simply names all songs currently in or to be included in future DDR releases.

Well, your opinion is short-sighted:

-Blandest * Master Mode yet. The only variety is 3 different noteskins and one series of episodes that make you play worse than you had to.
-Little course variety.
-Official Courses do not go beyond 5 songs.
-No new SIGNIFICANT modifiers. What the goddamn hell is Wave?
-Announcer has the worst lines.
-Announcer sometimes has lengthy lines mid-game.
-Joke Challenge charts.
-Can't put Shock Arrows into Edit Data.
-Shock Arrows rarely go beyond 4th beats.
-Charts with Shock Arrows have a useless background movie that's completely unfitting.
-NO ARCADE EDITS AGAIN. FOR THE THIRD TIME.
-Unusual inconsistencies. There's a typo in one of the Information Mode entries. Street Episodes that require more than one song towards completion don't "Continue", they make you "Retry", which is off-putting at first.

+Nobody really misses online mode.

Whoever planned this game out and whoever ISN'T talking to the arcade developers need to be fired. Now. Same goes for anyone who had anything to do with features and such with the last two games that are still around. You are lazy, oblivious, and ruining the PS2 games.

DDR X is an incomplete product. Had this been worth $40, it would have been the first DDR game I've sold off immediately after unlocking everything. The only thing saving this game is the songlist and the quality stepcharts.

What's happening now is a repeat of last year: the Wii and 360 DDR games are leagues beyond the PS2 game. And HP1 didn't even have all that much to begin with against SN2.

The bar was set at EXTREME 2 and the devs aren't even attempting to considering running towards it, let alone getting the mental synapses to consider it.

It's not really as bad of a game that everyone makes it out to be. As Reenee said, it has good songs and good charts (Yes, many of them are even better than EXTREME-era charts *gasp*). That SHOULD be all that matters, but we all know that DDR players have to have SOMETHING to complain about.

It's not the best PS2 DDR, nor the worst. It's fun, and that's all I really care about!

P.S. HP2 is not really all that great as I thought it was going to be, however. Many of the Bemani artists like Yoshitaka and Osamu were paired with AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL vocalists. I mean, at least when they use vocalists that sing Engrish, they SOUND good. The Lonely Streets and We Can Win the Fight are two of the biggest disappoints song-wise DDR has ever had.

Not that there aren't good songs in HP2. Into Your Heart and Closer to Your Heart are classic "Naoki Feat." songs with a twist. Super Hero is a cool speed pop song, who could hate the V5 transplant (Even though the video should be FULL SCREEN, thank you!) Escape is WORLDS beyond the stuff that he made in U1. Tomosuke got lucky and got a decent vocalist for Dreamin'. And of course, who could forget the new jun happy-hardcore song Silver Dream? Osaka Evolved sounds like a relative to Pluto (Although I don't think Osaka is a proper name).

I found the announcer amusing. He just gets annoying after saying the same thing for the 12904832751028509385th time. I haven't finished SMM yet but what a wonderful world they live in, where everyone just wants to dance.

I had really low expectations for this game, and it actually impressed me. Songlist and charts have been good (so far).

Ok Memorable(funny?) announcer quotes:
THE GOOD:
"Hot track comin thru...beep beep hot track hot track"(lol)
THE BAD:
"We're dancin were groovin were moovin to tha groovin" (something like that)
THE JUST PLAIN OLD UGLY:
"Your dancin made the world a better place!!!!!" (come on......seriously....)
