Features
The game contains 74 songs, 24 initially available and 50 that need to be unlocked, either through normal play or purchasing the songs with Dance Points accumulated through Dance Master Mode. The majority of the songs are Konami originals, most of which are composed by Naoki Maeda. This mix introduces several licensed tracks to DDR as well as reusing veteran songs, such as Smile.dk's "Butterfly (Upswing Mix)", letting the highly popular European group finally appear on a DDR U.S. home version.
For the first time in any U.S. DDR, a song by E-Rotic was included, specifically In the Heat of the Night. Konami had previously been reluctant to release songs by the German pop group, known for its sexually explicit lyrics, on United States versions of Dance Dance Revolution. Seven songs from the group, including the aforementioned, had been released on Japanese versions of DDR previously. The particular song chosen is relatively tame. Largely due to the inclusion of E-Rotic and the other sexually explicit themes throughout the game, DDR EXTREME 2 is rated Everyone 10+ by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, with the billets for Mild Lyrics and Suggestive Themes.
INJECTION OF LOVE (HINA MIX) was also edited to exclude its original lyrics, which are sexually explicit in nature.
Due to the outcry over the elimination of the Song Wheel interface in the US version of DDR EXTREME, it has been restored in DDR EXTREME 2. The Groove Radar feature has also reappeared. New advance modes available, the EyeToy digital camera peripheral is used only for "hands and feet" and "watch me dance" modes. In addition, for the first time in PlayStation DDR games, online gameplay is available.

“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
