Ehh... DDR Ultramix 2 has too many originals, just like Ultramix. It is better than Ultramix though, so if you're getting DDR for Xbox... get Ultramix 2.

It's funny, because I usually hear the other side of this argument being applied to the newest DDR mixes in America.
Pros: DDR Ultramix has lots of new styles that will challenge and entertain everyone. More people can join in the action with new 4 Player mode.
If doubles are just not enough, you should try out the quad mode. It's worth getting the extra two pads! The new songs on Ultramix 2 are not only catchy and fun to listen to, they have great use and understanding of the rhythms of the song. Chaos was never at it's best in any other mix.
Cons: DDR Ultramix 2 can be very jumpy. It looks like it is having problems keeping up the refresh rate (Kinda like Halo 2....). The graphics can actually be so distracting that it blends the arrows into it. I'm not too much for the new in game feedback. The window that tells you whether you got a perfect, great, good, etc etc never dissapears, even during long pauses. It can sometimes be a challenge to read the pattern behind it.
The way to solve the jumpiness is to simply turn off the dancers and the videos.
The con that transfered over from Ultramix is the xbox controller itself. It was not made for playing ddr with your hands.
They seem to have improved something in the mapping though because I no longer get any faulty misses while using a PS2 to X box conversion for my Cobalts. It was this fact that made original ultramix unplayable to me. Joe had actually given me his adaptors for free because he was so upset at how poorly it worked on UM1 at DDR-A-Thon 3.
I joyfully anticipate UM3 whenever they decide to announce and release it.

When I played my friends UM2, I noticed this first off. The music was alright, but damn those graphics are just a distraction for the arrows. The arrows are even different from arcade and the refresh rates still mess me up even when the dancers and video was turned off.Ryan Dognaux wrote:

Too distracting, and it's overall just a bad mix. IDK why everyone loves it.
I really love CS:GO's 64 tick servers.

i hated what they did to make a jam, max300, and dream a dream... i thought the remixes were horrible... i like being able to play with 4 players.. sure it looks small but big deal.... if you wanna play 4 players on Halo or any other FPS game everything looks smaller... just deal with it
i think the quads option is interesting... but it would be WAY too expensive to set that up .... and you would need a big room to do it in... what i thought would make quads more interesting is if they made a 4 pad square.... instead of the 4 pad line like they have now.... it would make it so much harder... but i think people would still not play it at all :p
